## About

Who am I? Subhiksha\. A small\-town girl with big\-city dreams, trying to build things that actually matter\. Where am I from? I was born and brought up in Salem, Tamil Nadu\. Patna gave me my engineering roots\. Bengaluru shaped my professional discipline\. Delhi was a phase that changed how I think\. Now I am looking forward to starting a new chapter in Mumbai\. What do I do? I recently graduated from FMS Delhi, where I explored the space between people, business, and technology\. During this time, I worked as a Product Management Intern at MakeMyTrip, where I tried to make sense of messy user problems and turn them into clear, buildable solutions\. Before that, I spent about 3 years at Alstom working on ecodesign and sustainability across global projects\. That experience taught me how to think in systems, work within constraints, and deal with ambiguity\. Somewhere along the way, I realised I enjoy building\. Not just products, but ideas, teams, and experiences that solve real problems\. What keeps me curious? Why do people behave the way they do, even when it does not make sense? What makes something feel simple, even when it is not? How do small decisions shape larger experiences? Beyond work Technology excites me\. So does creativity\. I like being somewhere in between\. I spend a lot of time travelling solo, exploring new places and food, thinking about everyday experiences, or trying to cook something that usually turns into an experiment\. What am I looking for? Opportunities where I can build, learn fast, and work on things that people genuinely use and care about\. If you have made it this far, drop a Hi in the DM\. Tell me what you are building or the problem you are trying to solve\.
