Quick Facts
Passed 10th from Udham school for children 2021-22 with an impressive 92%.
Currently preparing for the 12th-grade examinations at AIS SCHOOL, scheduled for May 2024.
Embracing Indian heritage, a Gujarati upbringing, and a global perspective, I've cultivated a rich cultural tapestry.
With my father's visit to the U.S. in 1998 and my mother's in 2002, I gained a profound appreciation for diverse perspectives at a young age.
Speaking English, Hindi, and Gujarati fluently, I navigate seamlessly through different linguistic landscapes. And while English isn’t my first language, I don’t have an accent when I speak (Don’t believe me? Listen to my some conversation!)
During my teenage years, I honed my strategic thinking in competitive chess, coming close to national championships.
Now, I'm immersed in the intricate world of algorithmic trading, drawn to its ever-evolving complexities and challenges.
What I’ve Done
In 2019 during my schooling years, I launched this website with a long-standing aspiration to start a blog. My content covered topics such as academics, productivity, and my efforts to share insightful perspectives. Additionally, I began sending out a weekly newsletter to engage with my readers on a regular basis.
In 2020, I initiated Project Ad(venture), a podcast endeavor. Our team collaborates with emerging entrepreneurs to share insights and expertise on financial markets, equipping upcoming entrepreneurs with valuable knowledge and strategies.
In 2021, amidst the height of the COVID pandemic, I provided essential support to numerous vulnerable daily wage workers. This included distributing food, livelihood essentials, and hygiene items to help them during this challenging time.
In 2022, as part of my extracurricular activities, I undertook the E-Zero project. This initiative focused on addressing the pressing issue of electronic waste. The E-Zero project aimed to raise awareness and actively tackle this concern by organizing waste collection drives in different localities, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable environment.
In 2022, I dedicated my efforts to supporting the girls at Kanya Chatralay. Through various initiatives and programs, we aimed to empower and uplift these young individuals, providing them with opportunities for growth, education, and a brighter future.
In 2022, I spearheaded The Charity Hub Project with a mission to combat the use of plastic bags. Our innovative approach involved repurposing sarees into eco-friendly bags. Through dedicated donation drives, we amassed an impressive collection of around 100 sarees, along with various clothes, toys, and shoes. These sarees were skillfully transformed into bags by a team of disabled individuals. The proceeds generated from this venture were then channeled back to support those in need, creating a sustainable cycle of giving and empowerment.
In 2023, my dedicated group and I organized a successful Red Cross blood camp. This initiative played a crucial role in addressing the ongoing need for blood donations, ultimately contributing to saving countless lives within our community. It was a testament to our collective commitment to making a positive impact on the health and well-being of those around us.
