ABOUT ME

Growing up in a culturally rich and dynamic country like India has been a privilege. Yet one would be remiss not to notice the plethora of social, political, economic, and environmental issues it is besieged by. My experiences as a citizen and most recently as an architect in this complex country have been a major driving force for me to seek more suitable forms of habitation. I believe architecture is transformative, it harbours the power to induce societal and environmental changes. My research thus far has scrutinized these intersections, embracing the framework between technology, ecology, human and the built for a better community.
