About

I like building things that have a practical use, and I have spent the past year learning what that takes.

I'm a Grade 12 student in Vijayawada studying Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. My interests run from machine learning and quantum computing to semiconductors and connected devices. I care most about how they can address practical problems in animal health, student wellbeing and rural livelihoods.

Some of my most useful lessons came from outside the classroom. I've worked with rural women's enterprises in Krishna District, volunteered at a national fair, captained my school basketball team and trained as a National Cadet Corps cadet. Those experiences changed how I think about collaboration and responsibility.

This page marks which projects were independent and which were guided, and it links the letters and certificates behind them.

Leadership and community · Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh

From canal weed to Andhra Pradesh's official gift box.

Water hyacinth is an invasive weed that chokes the canals around Machilipatnam. Women in Krishna District already knew what to do with it. They dried the stems, split them by hand and wove them into strong baskets. Almost nobody outside their villages knew those baskets existed.

    Thirty women, three groups

    I organized 30 rural women into three Self-Help Groups. I expected paperwork to be the hard part. Earning their trust took far longer, close to a year of meetings.

  2. 2026

    One application

    We documented the products, photographed them, set prices that paid for the women's hours and applied to SERP, the state's rural livelihoods agency. The women named their product the Krishna Core Basket.

  3. Jun 2026 to present

    Selling online

    As Digital Lead on an India SME Forum team, I help build product listings and Instagram pages. The team has brought 1,500+ SHG women and 650+ products onto Amazon and Meesho, and I have trained 25 women to market their work through Reels.

  4. Oct 2026

    A national stage

    Their work was selected for the first National SARAS Mela held outside Delhi. Their boxes were chosen to carry Andhra Pradesh's official SHG gift set, filled with Araku coffee, Manyam turmeric and Etikoppaka toys. I volunteered throughout the event.

The Mela ran from 13 to 31 October 2026 at Punnami Ghat, Vijayawada, with more than 500 stalls and about 1,500 women entrepreneurs from 33 states and union territories. The President of India inaugurated it.

Independent2025–26Patent application filed, pending

BioNexus

IoT health wearable for wildlife

A non-invasive wearable for wildlife in zoos and sanctuaries that monitors heart rate, temperature, blood oxygen and movement. A seven-day adaptive baseline learns each animal's normal readings and cross-checks them to help reduce false alarms. Bench tests recorded 94.6% data delivery.

The Government of Andhra Pradesh recognized BioNexus on World Environment Day 2026. Its certificate cites detection of fever spikes, sudden drops in heart rate and abnormal lethargy up to 12 hours before visible symptoms appear.
