A student, entrepreneur, AI generalist, researcher, and lifelong learner from Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Currently pursuing my education at ODM Public School, I see learning not as the pursuit of grades but as the deliberate cultivation of knowledge, character, and capability. My interests span artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, technology, philosophy, strategy, international affairs, and human potential. I believe the most meaningful education happens beyond classrooms through curiosity, disciplined execution, and a willingness to challenge assumptions.

Model United Nations has been one of the most influential parts of my journey. I have participated in 8 in-person and 2 international online conferences, serving as an International Press Journalist and Research Associate with the International Model United Nations Association (IMUNA). Across these experiences, I earned over 17 awards and distinctions alongside 25+ professional certifications, strengthening my research, communication, leadership, and analytical thinking.

Chess and endurance sports have equally shaped my mindset. As a classical chess player rated 1488, I have developed strategic thinking, patience, and disciplined decision-making. Completing and winning three half marathons reinforced resilience, consistency, and the ability to pursue long-term goals with persistence.

Reading has been one of the most influential parts of my intellectual development. Over the years, I have read 35+ books spanning artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, philosophy, psychology, economics, finance, history, science, literature, mythology, religion, and personal development. I enjoy exploring ideas from diverse disciplines because I believe the best insights often emerge at the intersection of different fields. Whether it is understanding human behavior, studying timeless philosophical traditions, exploring the universe through physics, or learning from the experiences of founders and leaders, every book shapes the way I think, question, and make decisions. I maintain a living reading library that documents both the books I have completed and those I am currently reading. It reflects not only what I have learned but also the ideas and disciplines I continue to explore as part of my lifelong commitment to learning.

For the past two years, I have focused extensively on artificial intelligence and emerging technologies. As a Program Associate in The Economic Times AI Master Program, a Competitive Intelligence Specialist in Masters' Union's The AI Economy, and a Future Technologies Analyst at Outskill, I have explored generative AI, automation, prompt engineering, market intelligence, and technology strategy while helping others understand AI's practical applications.

Alongside my learning, I founded NextGenAI, an AI-focused venture dedicated to helping businesses, entrepreneurs, creators, and professionals leverage artificial intelligence to work smarter, automate repetitive processes, and build scalable digital systems. As a young founder, I genuinely care about creating practical solutions that solve real-world problems. My focus is not simply on implementing AI, but on making advanced technologies accessible, meaningful, and valuable for the people and organisations I serve.

My learning is complemented by certifications in Google Analytics, multiple Anthropic AI Fluency programs, and Government of India initiatives covering responsible AI, consumer awareness, and economic indicators. I also built my personal website as a living portfolio that reflects my work, ideas, and evolving digital identity.

Entrepreneurship has provided the opportunity to translate ideas into execution. Before founding NextGenAI, I founded RedCard Jerseys, an e-commerce sportswear venture that I built, operated, and strategically scaled over a two-year period into a profitable business. Throughout its growth, I developed practical expertise across brand development, customer acquisition, operations, supply chain management, digital marketing, and commercial strategy while establishing a sustainable and financially viable business model. Following its successful growth and profitability, I executed a strategic exit by divesting the venture to a Kerala-based company, realizing a profitable acquisition and gaining firsthand experience in business valuation, negotiations, and exit strategy. This entrepreneurial journey was further strengthened through participation in E-Cell IIT Bombay's Eureka! Junior, where I expanded my understanding of innovation, venture creation, and startup ecosystems.

Above all, I remain a curious student committed to continuous learning. My long-term goal is to create meaningful impact through artificial intelligence, innovation, education, and entrepreneurship—developing technologies that expand human capability, empower individuals and organisations, and contribute to a more thoughtful, capable, and resilient future.
