Bachelor's degree

- Co-founded as a B2B2C company that leveraged technology to empower contractors in Tier 2 and 3 Indian cities with sound architecture services
- Now, established as an Architecture and Interior Design company with operations in Kochi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Khandala.

Principal Architect

- First heard the stories of Malana village's exquisite culture- its religious practices, language, political structure and way of living during a trek to Chanderkhani Pass.
- Gathered information from researchers and my visits to Malana and more than 5 nearby villages during college vacations over a period of 2 years, mostly funded by my college scholarship.
- Compiled this information to publish the Malana Information Portal for interested readers as it seemed that the world had mostly misunderstood this beautiful place and its people.

Sociology Researcher

- Spent most time reading, sketching and learning to enhance understanding of Architecture Design rather than just working on architecture software as in typical internships
- Read through company resources on all projects- small to gigantic, analyzing best practices and design fundamentals
- Had the opportunity to learn from and interact closely with Ar Christopher Charles Benninger who to this day mentors me on subjects unrelated to architecture

Architectural Intern

- Inferred from Malana's isolation and lack of amenities that the village required a sustainable waste management system funded by its own people.
- Travelled to McLeodganj and then Corbett National Park to learn the basics of waste management from the well known NGO- Waste Warriors.
- Earned the trust of the Naggar BDO, Malana Gram Pradhan and its Head Priest to start work in Malana village and built a team with two local supervisors.
- Engaged the Malana Youth Council to clean 1 ton of garbage on its first day.
- Gained over 1800 (60%) locals as subscribers to our paid waste management services for the month with the help of the Malana Women's Council.
- Hired 3 waste workers who over a period of one month, collected over 10 tons of garbage to make the village clean.
