At the Rise Residential Summit @ University of Oxford, I had the chance to climb a tree at the university park, take photos of the Rise Olympics, and meet incredibly talented people. I’d say that’s the best way to end my summer! It was hard to say good-bye! See you all in 2027!🤟

Tamil News Channel, #PuthiyaThalaimurai, honoured remarkable Tamils who've been exceptional in their fields through its flagship Tamilan Awards. I was happy to receive the award from Mr. Sheik Dawood, the grandnephew of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the late former President of India.

What an incredible 27th National Youth Festival! Over 8000 youth from 28 States and 8 Union Territories came to Nashik, Maharashtra, to participate in the biggest extravaganza of youth in India. Want to experience what it means to be an Indian? Visit a National Youth Festival! 🇮🇳


What a year 2023 was!! Everything I wished, I thought, and I hoped had come true. The days were not perfect; at times they were tiring, and I wasn't sure what to expect, but most days were perfect to learn, get out of my comforts, and think outside the box. Happy New Year 2024!🙂


I'm happy that the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, Government of India has selected me for the National Youth Award 2020–21, the highest national award given to youth (ages 15-29) in India. This is my 2nd national award. The first was the Dr APJ Abdul Kalam IGNITE Award 2019.
