I've wanted to become an engineer since childhood.
I built a prototype of an electric bell for my school exhibition and won first place.
I built the electric-bell prototype at a time when the internet wasn't easily accessible.
My father, who was a doctor himself, always wanted me to become an engineer.
I've always been a jugaadu person: finding ways to make things work, figuring things out, and getting things done have been part of my DNA.
