Background

Growing up, I always knew I wanted to make a difference in the world. I came from a middle-class family in Bhopal and was the first one to pursue a career in law. I cleared CLAT and became a lawyer, but I soon realized that corporate law wasn't for me. I wanted to make a more meaningful impact, so I decided to take the UPSC exam.
