About
Final-year B.Eng. (Mechanical) student at RMIT, specialising in aerospace engineering, mechatronics and autonomous systems. I write CFD pipelines, deploy nosecones and program drones.
I grew up in Delhi — fireflies and chai and a grandfather's warmth — and landed in Melbourne chasing something I couldn't quite name yet. I've since designed deployable nosecones for L2-class rockets, programmed autonomous drones, and built CFD pipelines for cardiovascular stents with LEAP & ANSYS.
I believe the most interesting people refuse to be one thing. I'm an engineer who reads Camus, a poet who understands fluid dynamics, and someone who thinks Feynman's greatest achievement was making physics feel like joy. I also write poems — usually at 2 a.m., when the equations can't hold what I'm thinking.

Iradda — intention into action.
Co-founded with Ishika Chaudhary, a policy researcher who works on a NITI Aayog project at IIM Ahmedabad and has worked at NITI Aayog before. Iradda translates institutional knowledge about gender equality into mentorship, skills and access — the kind that reaches the women who actually need it.
The word Iradda draws from the Sanskrit Sankalpa: the resolve to act with purpose. The most useful policy insights shouldn't live only in policy circles.
The other side of the equation.
Reading
Currently with The Myth of Sisyphus (Camus) — disagreeing with him on philosophical suicide. For the Love of Physics (Lewin), Ignited Minds (Kalam).
My ideal remains Feynman: Nobel laureate, safe-cracker, bongo player — which I find both deeply comforting and extremely funny.
Let's talk.
Aerospace, defence, R&D, Iradda, a poem — or just a good conversation.
