My greatest challenge when I applied to business school: Preparing my application and trying to highlight my interests.
About me: I studied Computer Science at Vellore Institute of Technology, where my curiosity for solving real-world problems led me to publish three research papers on machine learning. I gained hands-on experience through internships at the Indian Space Association and UTP Malaysia, and later worked at PepsiCo GBS in the generative AI space.
At LBS, I’m part of the Executive Committee for the Data and AI Club, where I love working with a diverse group of peers to explore how emerging technologies are transforming business. For me, leadership means listening, supporting and making space for different voices, a value I carry into every team I join.
What I value most about LBS is the richness of perspectives, both in and out of the classroom. I’m passionate about applying my technical skills in the fintech space and contributing to meaningful innovation. As a student ambassador, I’d be excited to share my journey and help others navigate theirs.
Three topics I can be approached about: Technology; data science and AI; food exploration.
