Like many Indian middle-class, I was expected to follow the engineering path. I got into IIT Roorkee in 2018, and to my surprise, my interest in design sparked in January 2019.

It all began when a friend sweetened the deal with a cool group badge, convincing me to take a recruitment test for the college group, Design Studio. This introduced me to a hobby that not only let me earn but also brought enjoyment. Therefore, in the winter of 2019, I began my first internship at Wheelseye.

When the pandemic hit, I saw it as an opportunity to enhance my skills as a product designer. Over 1.5 years, I interned at Skit, Procol, and Meesho, gaining valuable industry experience, fine-tune my fundamentals, and getting lightening fast on different tools.
