Intense entrepreneurial experiences and ability to adapt to all sorts of work environments and lead cross-domain teams.Things that I have to admire the most after spending almost a decade in the IT industry:• When it comes to User Research, I believe “How you ask is everything!”• When it comes to Designing Thinking, I believe “We need to make things a little more humane.”• The challenge I realized with this industry is, “The problem isn’t how to make the world more technological; it’s about how to make the world more humane again.”

My Philosophy
"Learning over Education"For the longest time, Education is the process of imparting knowledge, values, skills, and attitudes, which can be beneficial to an individual often done through a medium. On the contrary, learning is the process of adopting knowledge, values, and skills.Learning to my understanding is a highly intrinsic and continuous process. An individual is always learning, and from my journey so far personal and professional, there is no way forward without learning.Your degree certificate may give you a ready opportunity for an interview, but cracking that interview and getting to that dream job, performing and growing in it will be achieved only through continuous, self-motivated learning.
