"I'm raising money for Rees Foundation to give back, support those in need, and use our privileges to make a difference in the community."

A Journey of Passion, Purpose, and Exploration

From the intricate world of aerospace engineering to the vast landscapes of nature, my journey has been one of passion, purpose, and discovery. As a Project Lead at Alten, working on Airbus wing assemblies, I find immense fulfillment in the technical challenges of aerospace—an industry that has fascinated me for as long as I can remember. But beyond engineering, my heart lies in giving back, exploring the world, and understanding the people who make it so diverse and vibrant.

My commitment to helping others took root in India, where I co-founded the U&I Mysore chapter—an initiative that began with just two volunteers and ten orphaned children seeking education. Today, it has flourished into a thriving community with several children and multiple centres, providing opportunities that every child deserves. My belief is simple: none of us choose the life we are born into, but we all have a responsibility to uplift others and make a difference.

Outside of work and philanthropy, I am an adventurer at heart. I have traveled to 28 countries, immersing myself in new cultures, landscapes, and perspectives. Whether hiking through nature’s wonders or losing myself in a good book, I am always seeking to learn, grow, and connect.

For me, life is a journey of continuous exploration—of the skies, of society, and of the human spirit. Through my work, my travels, and my efforts to give back, I hope to leave the world a little better than I found it.
