I was born and brought up in Ahmedabad, India and spent a good amount of my childhood vacations in different parts of India. Because of which, by the age of about 15, I had come across India's major cultural diversities and that really helped me better understand different viewpoints and perspectives. I am a person who believes in putting their best foot forward, especially in something that I am interested in. As, an individual, I am more of an organizer sort of personality, whether it was planning treks with my friends or group projects during my academics, I cherish the task of organizing it in the best possible way. I love learning new things which is why I took up Masters but I feel real life application should go hand in hand with theory and that was the reason for my two years of job before starting my masters. In fact this thirst for learning new things has been present all my life and that was a major reason for choosing Electrical engineering as discipline. The scope of electrical domain is increasing exponentially every day in all horizons and I want to grow in a similar way. I am passionate about building new technologies and I desire to be a versatile engineer who does not confine to just one technology or domain. This is because I believe that the nature of the work changes with time and the right way to go about with it is to have knowledge about everything. I envision myself growing as an engineer who is continuously evolving himself by keeping abreast with the latest tools and technologies.
