Q1.What's it like to juggle between a leadership role and normal college life?


At first, it can seem really overwhelming. But having to juggle between classes and responsibilities, makes you learn how to prioritize and manage your time more efficiently.



Q2.How do your parents look at you participating in extracurricular activities?

Considering how shy I was as a kid and not the most social even today, my parents are extremely happy and proud to see me take up activities that help me build new skills and not shy away from taking up something that challenges me.


Q3.How can we encourage more young students such as yourself to take up leadership roles? 

I believe such encouragement can only come from within. The moment you  are ready and feel motivated from within, taking up roles that will improve
not only your skills but who you are as an individual will prove to be very fruitful.


Q4. What have been some of your biggest challenges and learnings from what you do?

You learn something new every day. You can’t expect someone in a leadership position to have everything together and have all the answers. We all learn from one another.


Q5. What's your message to encourage students to do internships and attend conferences?


Take up every possible opportunity put in front of you. Everyone has 24 hours a day, how you use those hours will define a lot of your future.
