Introduction

About Me

A 17-year-old aspiring surgeon from Bangalore, Karnataka, with a passion for academics, leadership, and service.

Currently in my 12th grade at Surana Independent PU College, I am pursuing an integrated science stream with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology. My journey is driven by a deep passion for medicine and an ambition to make groundbreaking contributions to cancer treatment through less invasive methods.

Beyond academics, I actively engage in leadership roles, sports, and cultural activities. I draw strength from my spiritual practices, including learning Vedic scriptures under my Guru, Shashank Shekar, at Bhavani Shankara Veda Pata Shala.
