As a student, I often felt lost wishing for a mentor to lean on, especially someone from our community who genuinely understood what it felt like to navigate subtle casteism. There was always that lingering weight of being judged, second-guessed, or made to feel like I was somehow less than others.

That missing support system is why I’m here today. I want to be the mentor I wish I had: someone you can speak to openly without fear of judgment.

With over three years of experience in the UAE working on underwater robotics and product development, I’m opening up my time to support anyone who needs guidance, whether navigating technical paths in mechanical design and robotics, sorting through practical personal finance, or simply talking through the unspoken hurdles our community faces.

If you need someone who gets it and won't judge, don't hesitate to reach out.
