Driver Experience — building for India 2 and India 3, the segment now driving most of India's internet growth. My focus: solve for what actually matters to these users — their earnings and their economics, not just interface polish — and get there through real experimentation rather than assumption. The goal is to build products - simple enough that they don't need explaining.

As a new core member of the Placement and Internship Cell at IIT Madras, I am thrilled to bring my enthusiasm and past learning experience to this role. In my previous position as a coordinator at the same institution, I established and maintained professional relationships with multiple companies to participate in the IIT Madras placements drive. Throughout the year, I provided constant assistance to ensure a smooth and efficient process. Additionally, I demonstrated strong communication and marketing skills by pitching companies to consider the Engineering Design department. I coordinated the placements drive for Athar Energy, serving as the primary point of contact and coordinating offline interviews on campus. I also served as the Interview point of contact for companies like Google and Glean, showcasing my organizational and communication skills. I am excited to bring these skills and experiences to my new role and look forward to contributing to the continued success of the Placement and Internship Cell at IIT Madras.
