On personal front, I was shaped by humble beginnings. My father worked as a clerk and my mother taught kindergarten - together, their hard work and love gave our family everything we needed, even if it wasn’t always a lot.

Home was Satara, a quiet, beautiful town in Maharashtra, India. Growing up there taught me to appreciate the small joys in life. Schooling with my siblings at New English School, Satara - now proudly celebrating its centennial golden jubilee in 2025 - and Navin Marathi Shala, Satara, gave me more than an education.

These places shaped my sense of curiosity and grounded values. Through every challenge and milestone, what stayed with me was the warmth of my family, the support of my teachers, classmates, and the memories of home. Those roots continue to guide everything I do today.
