Awarded 1st rank in the Virtual Regional Competition of Odyssey of the Mind India 2023, representing Swarnprastha Public School. Our team solved a complex creative problem involving mechanical design and performance storytelling — blending logic, communication, and innovation. This experience deepened my love for creative problem-solving and showed me how diverse minds working together can build powerful, out-of-the-box solutions.

Secured 1st place at UnHackathon ’23, organized by Rishihood University and Aarogya Seva. Along with my team, I developed a mental health app addressing emotional well-being through a user-centred, psychology-informed design. This experience reinforced my passion for creating impact-driven solutions at the intersection of mental health, behavioural insight, and technology. (View full reflection in my blog: “Designing for the Mind.”)

Completed the Young CEO Program by ThinkStartup at FITT, IIT Delhi, in collaboration with TIDES Business Incubator, IIT Roorkee. The program offered hands-on exposure to entrepreneurship, leadership, and venture creation — from ideation to investor pitching. This experience directly inspired me to launch the Founders Club, the first-ever student-led entrepreneurship initiative at my school, empowering students to build and pitch socially conscious ideas. (More on how it led to the Founders Club — in the Projects section!)

From winning consecutive awards in school for calligraphy and art, to representing Swarnprastha Public School at Abhivyakti, a literary and cultural fest celebrating Indian art, where I earned the second position, each recognition has been more than a trophy. It has been a mirror. Art, for me, is where psychology meets poetry. When emotions turn too intricate for speech, I let my pen or brush do the listening. Each stroke becomes a reflection of thought, a soft rebellion, a silent insight, or a subtle truth I didn’t know I held. These achievements aren’t just records of skill, they’re traces of a journey inward. Of learning to articulate the unsaid. Of using visual language to explore the emotional mindscape. (You can read more on how I see art as therapy and thought in my blog.)
