THE BEGINNING

Educational background

Bachelor of Architecture from RV School of Architecture.

Specialisation

I’ve always explored a broad spectrum of things.

First internship

ASHWA Racing, Formula Students team (2006-2010). I competed in F-SAE Australia, Germany & Italy.

A subject you wish you’d studied

I believe in being a polymath, so there are so many things I would like to study.

Your most ambitious project

My graduation thesis which I was asked to drop as the faculty deemed it unworthy, but I took an extra semester to do it on my own. The irony is that it was nominated for BeOPEN Future and exhibited at the 100% Design London 2012. Every now and then I’m invited for a guest lecture to present it in my college.
