MIIPS, 2026

This is how to say my name:

 

What unique skills or interests do you bring to the iii?

As a creative in tech consulting, I can bridge the gaps between the business, designers and engineers, as I consider myself a part of all three worlds. My experience in storytelling helps me see the big picture and break it down into smaller, easily digestible packets of information and action. From directing films to designing compliance tools at EY, I’ve learned how to make technology more intuitive and human-centered.


Why MIIPS?

I chose MIIPS because it brings together the three pillars that have defined my journey in tech so far - design, engineering, and business. With experiences in product innovation and hobbies like filmmaking, I’ve always worked across disciplines. MIIPS offers a rare space to push those boundaries further through hands-on projects, collaborative learning, and exposure to emerging technologies, all aligned with the kind of work I am known for and want to get even better at.

Education

Bachelor of Technology (Electronics and Computer Science), Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology

Experience

Consultant at EY

What type of role are you looking to obtain after you graduate?

After Graduation, I want to work in product innovation or strategic design, ideally in a role where I can lead teams working at the intersection of tech and design, creating impactful products which actually move the needle.

Long-term, I hope to build my own design consultancy focused on solving systemic challenges in India through inclusive design.
