I maintain a scholarly profile that includes three peer‑reviewed papers on Indian economic sectors, several professional honors, language proficiencies, and cause interests aligned with social equity.

My public‑private partnerships paper (Oct 2014) estimates that India required $450 bn of infrastructure investment from 2012‑2017 to lift GDP growth from 3.986 % to about 9 %.

The automobile trade study (Sep 2013) reports merchandise exports grew from US $1.3 bn (1950‑51) to US $63.8 bn (2003‑04), a 7.6 % CAGR, and the auto sector grew at roughly 18 % per year as of 2009.

My retail sector analysis (Aug 2013) projected the market to expand from US $833 bn in 2013 to US $1.3 tn in 2018, a 10 % CAGR, contributing 14‑15 % of GDP and employing about 8 % of the employable population, with outlet density of 7 per 1,000 people.

I have received spot bonuses from Google (Dec 2023, Dec 2024) and multiple internal awards at Flipkart (APOLLO 13, WOW Instant Karma, Chandrayaan 2, “kool and the Gang”). I also earned the Best Outgoing Student award (May 2014) from Surana College.

My language repertoire includes native/bilingual Kannada, full‑professional English, professional Hindi, and elementary Tamil and Telugu. I am passionate about children, education, the environment, human rights, and social services.
