My Story

Everyone has a story, here’s mine.

At 15, while studying in Bidya Bharati Girls’ High School,

I realized something Powerful. Technology was the gateway to creating solutions that could change lives. While everyone called me the 'creative one,' I wanted to channelize it to create a real impact on society. Here is where it all started.

I recently graduated in Political Science

From the University of Calcutta, diving deep into power structures, Governance, people, society, policy, & more. I learned to question systems, research deeply, observe critically and communicate complex ideas simply. But alongside my studies, I kept experimenting with technology learning HTML, CSS, building websites. That's when I discovered UX design.

Over the past year, I worked with 5+ Global organizations

From non-profits to think tanks to Startups, across- research design and strategy-focused projects. Building products and experiences that have reached hundreds of users. UX is where it all comes together. Technology, Creativity, Business Thinking, Psychology and Real-world impact in one discipline.

In 2025, I launched Women AI Collective

As a non-tech student myself, I saw brilliant women being left behind by the AI revolution simply because technology felt inaccessible. So I created programs that turn complex AI concepts into engaging learning experiences. This reinforced my belief - inclusion isn't optional, it's essential.

Now I'm building products in Edtech, civic tech, and fintech

That looks beautiful. Drives business. And expand opportunities for people who've been overlooked.

My Principles

Deep observation and Behavioral Analysis

I’m a natural observer who loves listening to people's stories, their problems and dissect the hidden patterns that tell us more about user needs.

AI as an Accelerator

I use AI to iterate and move fast. Through my design process AI efficiency meets human intuition and lived experience to create something out of the

From zero to one

I love the transition from initial research to living, breathing product, bringing my entrepreneurial grit to every cross-functional collaboration.

Ethics is hard coded in my system

I practice being ethical and staying true to my values as I seek to work with people who believe “good for business” should never come at the cost of “good for humanity”.
