My activities outside the classroom

Background, work and academics don't tell the whole story. This is the part that fills in the rest.

Extracurricular Activities

A lot of what I can do professionally comes from things that did not look like "technical work" at the time.

Leadership roles, public speaking, school events, creative teams, student chapters, entrepreneurship summits, and community work all taught me how to operate around people. Not just with code, not just with systems, but with actual humans who have deadlines, opinions, pressure, confusion, energy, and occasionally extremely strong preferences about how something should be done.

That stuff matters.

School Leadership

At Navy Children School, Delhi, I served as a Prefect on the school's Prefectorial Board from 2019 to 2020.

That was one of the first formal leadership roles I had. It meant responsibility in a visible way: coordinating with students, representing the school, handling discipline without becoming unbearable about it, and generally learning how to carry yourself when people are watching.

I was also on the Editorial Board for the school's online newsletter during the same period. That was a different kind of responsibility: clearer communication, better writing, and understanding how presentation changes how work is received.

Some of the other school activities included:

  • Managing Team - School Annual Day, Navy Children School Delhi, 2019.
  • Managing Team and DJ - Farewell, Navy Children School Delhi, 2019.
  • Inter-School Nukkad Natak (Street Play) Competition, qualified for zonals, 2018.
  • English Extempore Competition, Silver Medalist, Navy Children School NSB Visakhapatnam, 2016.

The public speaking and event side of school stayed with me. It made me comfortable with rooms, stages, groups, and improvisation. That has been useful far beyond school.

Enactus, VIT Chennai

At Enactus VIT Chennai, I worked as a Video Editor on the Creative Team from March 2022 to January 2024.

Enactus is about using entrepreneurship and business thinking for social and environmental impact. My role sat on the creative side, but the work was still tied to communication: how do you explain an initiative clearly, how do you make people care, and how do you present impact without making it feel hollow?

Creative work teaches taste, but it also teaches restraint. Not everything needs to be louder. Sometimes the useful thing is making the message easier to understand.

IEEE Computer Society VITC

At IEEE Computer Society VIT Chennai, I served as Design Head and later as an Advisory Board Member from January 2024 to September 2024.

IEEE CS VITC was a community built around learning, creating, and exploring technology together. My work there involved design direction, community coordination, and helping shape how events and initiatives were presented.

The useful part was the mix: technical community, design execution, student leadership, and operations. You had to care about whether something looked good, whether it communicated clearly, whether the team could actually execute it, and whether members got something valuable out of it.

Voyage E-Summit 2024

For Voyage E-Summit 2024, I worked as Admin - Social Media and Content Head from January 2024 to August 2024.

The summit ran from August 12-14, 2024 at VIT Chennai and included a hackathon, startup conclave, panel discussions, pitch competitions, mentoring sessions, and speaker sessions with people like Kumar Vembu and Ankur Warikoo.

That role was a good test of coordination under pressure. Social media, content, event communication, and admin work all tend to collide when the event gets close. Things change quickly, people need clarity, and the output still has to look coherent from the outside.

Defence Community

I also grew up around the community of the Indian Navy. My mother is a homemaker, runs a small business called Nandiniz'Aura, and has been an active member of the Naval Wives Welfare Association (NWWA).

That background matters because it made community involvement feel normal. Events, coordination, public-facing work, helping people settle into new places, showing up for group responsibilities. I grew up watching that kind of work happen around me.

I care about technical depth, but I also know that execution depends on people. These roles taught me that early.
