BIO
Born and bred in a remote Himalayan hamlet, I learned early on how tech or even the smallest innovation can help improve the quality of life of people. With this vision, I studied Electrical Engineering at IIT Bombay and later worked on Connected Vehicles & Electric Mobility as a product manager at TATA. Then, I moved to the Govt. of India to work on sustainable energy transitions. Today, my aim is to build affordable & scalable solutions for all to tackle climate change.
