Background
Growing up in Ranchi, Jharkhand, I was always fascinated by the world of governance and policy-making. My parents, both government employees, instilled in me a strong sense of public service and the importance of making a difference in society. I pursued a degree in Anthropology, which not only deepened my understanding of social dynamics but also helped me develop a unique perspective on the world.
