Builder by habit, skeptic by default.
I break things open to see how they work and then build better versions. Some projects fail spectacularly. Some turn into something real. All of them teach me something. Beyond the workshop, I'm a surfer and filmmaker chasing stories across waves and travels. I'm constantly learning, creating and pushing to see what's possible.
How I got here.
I've always been obsessed with taking things apart. As a kid I'd break open machines just to understand how they worked. Movies and cartoons inspired me to build things that were probably useless but felt extraordinary to me. Most projects failed but I didn't care. The act of making was what mattered.
During my diploma I had this moment where I decided to pursue my own project instead of following the group. I learned SolidWorks in a week, designed everything in 48 hours and figured out animation in Keyshot before presenting it. The render took 12 to 13 hours. It was an automated wheelchair project with plenty of flaws but looking back I poured genuine passion into it in such a short time. That's what I'm proud of. I was also part of the student council's photography team during diploma where I made videos for various events. That early experience with filmmaking sparked something in me.
My degree taught me more about people than machines. I was cultural secretary first and then general secretary of the student council. I transitioned from being quiet and introverted to building real connections with people. That's when I realized how important it is to understand and care for people. Being street smart became one of my most valuable assets. I was also president of ISHRAE where we organized group discussions and seminars.
That role fundamentally changed who I am. It made me realize isolation wasn't worth it.
After university I joined my father's business, Shree Industry. That's when everything clicked. It felt liberating to finally build and create without overthinking it. Now I have the resources and infrastructure to turn my childhood dreams into reality. I can actually make functional projects and bring ideas to life. Since then I've been making things, whether it's machinery and business systems or exploring other passions like surfing and filmmaking. I capture stories through my camera and drone and I'm constantly learning and creating. I'm driven by curiosity and the constant pull toward what's next.
What I care about
A working prototype beats a polished pitch.
Conviction backed by a thesis, not a feed.
The weekly notes, half-finished projects, and trips all count.
