(01) — Life

Three continents, ten countries, one long curiosity streak.

I grew up in India, spent five years engineering 5G networks in the United States, and am now in Barcelona asking a different kind of question: not how do we build it, but why.

Away from the roadmaps I read constantly, write essays no one asked for, build Lego sets past midnight, and plan trips with the same rigor I plan releases.

Storytelling · Community

Invisible But Essential

Born from one question — "what is invisible but essential about ESADE?" — this student initiative became a portrait gallery of 100+ students from across the world, each with a story no CV could hold. I lead the project, bringing these stories to light.

Now, what are we building?

I'm looking for product management and strategy roles at companies where "why are we building this?" gets taken seriously. If that sounds like your team, I'd love to talk.
