Professional Experience

Every role has been in the Founder's Office โ€” working directly with founders on strategy, operations, and product.

AI-Driven Hospital SaaS Platform ยท Received Founder's Letter of Recommendation

I learned how hospitals function & the challenges they face, speaking with everyone from ground staff and nurses to administrators and directors. Coordinated with multiple hospitals and studied numerous rules, regulations, and guidelines.

The biggest lesson? As da Vinci said: 'Learning never exhausts the mind.' No field is foreign โ€” just unexplored.

Founder's Office โ€” Urban Farm

May 2024 โ€“ Aug 2024 ยท Udaipur, Rajasthan

Operations Strategy ยท Organic farming to balance ecology & productivity

I learned about the organic farming sector โ€” understood the market, talked to ground-level workers in this field. Learned the importance of soil and food. Helped the company a little with strategy & operations.

Fell in love with Udaipur โ€” morning dives in Fateh Sagar Lake, wandering through ancient palaces, and discovering hidden cafes around every corner.

I really want to thank ChatGPT for helping me out โ€” otherwise, it would have been almost impossible for me to complete this project.

Subject Matter Expert โ€” Chegg India

Oct 2021 โ€“ Dec 2021

This is where I earned my first salary. I went in thinking I was average at civil engineering courses. Then I started solving questions here and realized: 'Oh. Oh no. I'm not even average :')

College Experience

Leadership roles and experiences during my time at IIT Bombay.

Department General Secretary โ€” Civil Engineering

May 2023 โ€“ Jun 2024 ยท IIT Bombay

Elected Representative of 1200+ students ยท Led a 4-tier team of 32 members

One of the most memorable journeys of my college life. In just 2 weeks, I spoke to 1000+ students across the Civil Department โ€” listened to their problems, noted what they wanted changed for Elections. Fought a tough battle, and won. Led a 4-tier team of 32, represented our department at multiple events. Handled a โ‚น0.85M annual budget, from formal events to fun nights, we did it all.

Made hundreds of memories, built lifelong friendships, and above all found my CEA Family :)

Leadership Team Management Budgeting

Marketing Coordinator โ€” E-Cell, IIT Bombay

May 2021 โ€“ Apr 2022

Joined because of the freebies and parties. The only real work I did was organizing data โ€” updating spreadsheets and keeping things sorted. At least that's what I remember!

Class Representative โ€” Civil Engineering

May 2021 โ€“ Apr 2022 ยท IIT Bombay

The first time I learned campus politics, I talked to almost all 171 students in class for this election. I learned how to communicate with people, made some friends and lots of enemies. After becoming CR, I saw issues from both professor and student sides.

Turns out democracy is messy, but you learn a lot!

Interview Coordinator โ€” Placement Office, IIT Bombay

Oct 2021 โ€“ Jan 2022

The only thing I did was calling seniors to attend placement interviews.

Thanks to the Placement Office for letting me put this on my resume: 'Assisted in conducting corporate tests as part of a 12-member team, handling student queries. Coordinated 250+ student volunteers to interview 1,800+ candidates.' :)

Invention Factory โ€” IIT Gandhinagar

May 2022 โ€“ Jul 2022 ยท Ahmedabad

Team of 20 students from 13+ IITs ยท Goal: Prototype, Pitch and Patent

Learned how to think, how to draft patents, and how to present in front of an audience. Invented a self-sealing biomedical bin that lowered exposure to biomedical waste by around 60%.

Best Moments: Ate lots of ice cream and chocolates every day (free from the program!), had pizza parties, tried skating, learned how to play video games โ€” and got addicted.

Worst Moments: Discovered I have major stage fright and realized I'm not as smart as I thought.

Volunteer

Teaching, mentoring, and giving back to the community.

Teaching Assistant โ€” IIT Bombay

Mar 2022 โ€“ Mar 2024

6 times TA ยท Courses: ME119, MS101, ENT101, ENT605, ENT609

I realized the power of cold emailing when I wrote a heartfelt message to a professor, claiming I was deeply passionate about his field (truthfully, I just needed to fill my resume and make money โ€” times were tough). Despite my bad grades, he surprisingly accepted me!

That first teaching assistant role snowballed into five more TA positions โ€” where I learned endlessly, built lifelong friendships, made career-changing connections, and earned enough to support myself.

A special thanks to Prof. Devdip Purkayastha, one of the kindest mentors, for guiding me through this journey.

Content Reviewer โ€” NPTEL

Aug 2023 โ€“ Oct 2023

I was grateful for the opportunity to contribute as a reviewer for NPTEL's 'Business Fundamentals for Entrepreneurs' course.

Department Academic Mentor โ€” IIT Bombay

May 2022 โ€“ Apr 2023

Mentored 15+ teams & 60+ students in DAMP mentorship, E-Cell, EnB Buzz, Finsearch, and Finance Club.
