An avid traveler, he has backpacked through South-East Asia, within India, and urges everyone to travel as far as possible, as fast as they can.
Independent and headstrong since childhood he excelled in debates, MUNs, and public speaking competitions throughout the school. He studied Mass Media and Communication at St. Xavier’s College Mumbai, whilst interning at advertising agencies, digital publications, and production houses.
