I have always felt that innovation is only meaningful if it positively impacts people—especially those who need it the most. I grew up with a passion for sustainable living and exploring space, and these visions grew into real projects, such as Aresam, a settlement that orbits Mars with artificial gravity and hybrid communications in a framework; and bases on Mars that could sustain themselves by growing food in aeroponic growth chambers, and developing bio-compatible and edible foods with 3D bioprinting.

These ideas led me to the Asian Regional level of NASA’s Space Settlement Design Competition (SSDC), which I won. I had the chance to partner with some brilliant minds, and we created creative ways to think about living on a planet other than Earth. Later, when I came home, I led my team to win Best Engineered Car at the Indian National F1 in Schools; the world’s largest STEM competition—and through that project demonstrated the power of innovation, teamwork, and passion to overcome any boundary.

Through this experience I learned about financial responsibility—as a team, we successfully raised sponsorship funds to support our STEM racing project, and were able to donate the remaining funds to an assortment of charities, to ensure that our teams success uplifted the underprivileged as well.
Now, I’m channeling all that experience into a new mission: using technology and creativity to empower communities, uplift the less fortunate, and inspire the next generation of dreamers. With your support, we can turn science into real-world impact—building a future where progress serves everyone.
