Bio
I come from a well settled family with a lot of values. My father, a successful entrepreneur, has been my mentor and my inspiration. He has taught me that “Hard-work will never disappoint you, it is like sowing the seeds of success”. My mother on the other hand, though a house wife is very active in different kinds of projects- helping out in old age homes, mentally challenged kids, teaching students, etc. She always counsels me to plan everything ahead. I have been guided by my parents to achieve my goals with simplicity and hard work. My mother's heritage and father's charisma taught me key business and financial insights from an early age.
I am of the opinion that involvement in a research will offer the opportunity of working at the cutting edge of technology, with unparalleled intellectual challenges and creative satisfaction. I want to see myself embarking on a mission that would lead to the design and development of extremely mesmerizing and highly efficient production plant workings.

Projects:
- Worked on designing a steam condensate collection all through the plant, distinguished based on the steam load. This is then treated and sent back primarily to the boiler house and some other parts of the plant, thus saving a lot of energy.
- Also worked towards cooling problem solving for the flaker roll so as to improve brine flow through the flaker rolls. Therefore achieving a better Overall Equipment Effectiveness(OEE) to meet the required production demand.
