Ashoka University: Leading Liberal Arts and Sciences University

Kunal aspires to become a polymath. A mathematics graduate from BITS Pilani, he swears by the vitality of art and literature. He believes that we live in exciting times, perhaps a new-age renaissance, where technology and art are finally converging. Speak to him for long, and you see his eyes light up talking about his favorite authors, directors, and philosophers: thinkers who interconnected ideas from seemingly disconnected fields. Talk to him about films, and soon he would slip into his theories about the perception of time and human cognition. He’s fascinated by art, technology (especially AI), mathematical frameworks, postmodern literature, philosophy, psychology, and sci-fi. On a quiet evening, you might catch him drawing surrealist cartoons while listening to atmospheric music. At the YIF, he wishes to build a bias for action, develop his critical thinking skills, and to better understand himself and the systems that run our lives.
