1. Tell us about your background and journey.

My story begins in Kodad, India,  growing up in a middle-class household with my father managing his own business and my mother tending to the home. After completing my schooling in my hometown, I pursued my higher education at Punjab's Lovely Professional University, where I earned my bachelor's degree. Following this, I embarked on my professional journey at Cloud4c Services Pvt Ltd. Known for my penchant for spreading joy and laughter, I initiated an NGO called "Vidya an Initiation" in 2016 alongside my friend Hemanth Gelli. 

Initially comprising 8 members, our organization has now grown to encompass over 250 volunteers nationwide, positively impacting over 10,000 individuals. Fulfilling my parents' aspirations of seeing me succeed as an engineer, I consider my career achievement as my first gift to them. After gaining four years of valuable experience in India, I believed pursuing a master's degree in the USA would further hone my skills and position me for greater opportunities. Consequently, in August 2022, I embarked on this new chapter by relocating to the USA.

Before arriving in the USA, I harbored certain dreams without a full understanding of the reality in the country. However, upon my arrival, I recognized the imperative of shedding light on the truth about studying abroad.

That's how I started creating content. Initial hurdles were eased by the invaluable suggestions and support of friends like Komal (KVS Tech Buddies), Charan, and Vibhav. In fact, Charan played a lucky role by launching my first video! And throughout this journey, my parents and brother have been my unwavering pillars.  honest reality checks about abroad education, informative vlogs packed with helpful insights, engaging travel experiences, and even whimsical humor to balance it all.

3.What does your typical day look like?

While in India, my typical day would begin with a morning stroll alongside my pet Luci, followed by a game of badminton. Subsequently, I would delve into my work commitments before dedicating time to assist my parents with various tasks as needed. In the evenings, I would often unwind with friends, enjoying some leisurely moments together.

4.Who is your Inspiration?

My father serves as my source of inspiration. Since my childhood, I have witnessed his relentless hard work and numerous sacrifices made for the well-being of myself and my brother. Similarly, my mother has also devoted herself and made countless sacrifices for our happiness and upbringing. Therefore, I believe it is now my turn to repay their selflessness by taking care of my parents.

I am passionate about discovering new destinations and consider myself an avid traveler. Whenever an opportunity for adventure arises, I am eager to embark on new explorations. During my free time, I enjoy playing cricket and badminton to unwind and stay active.
