Mesa and IIMBthe university years
Two degrees in parallel, and a campus where you build things to learn. Most of what is on this site started here.

What the programme is
Mesa School of Business (batch of 2029) is built around launching and not just studying. Alongside it, I am doing the Bachelor of Digital Business and Entrepreneurship at IIM Bangalore (2025 to 2028).

What I built there
- Amora: a chocolate brand, zero to selling in 50 days (Build Your Own Business).
- FinSight: an AI credit-card recommender in a two-week sprint (Build Your Own Product).
- SimplyGrain: the brand that won Mesa demo days twice and ₹20,000 in Venture Building and Innovation capital.

Competitions
- Mismatched: a Fevikwik ad creative for divorced dads, built for Twitter. Winner.

Mentoring and beyond class
I mentored 3 startup teams, 12 students, with daily involvement for about two weeks. I also went to the India AI Impact Summit in Delhi to see where the field is heading.

What I'm studying next
Python and JavaScript, APIs and databases. The plan: arrive at the next venture with real product and AI skills this time.
