The Joker
Leadership
The wild card. It plays wherever the table needs it.
Convenor of Gujarat's largest techno-managerial fest in college, with a ₹34 lakh budget and a thousand students working under the convening team. A year later, running a startup's first product team through launch. The constant under the other four cards.
Hands played
Convenor, MINDBEND 2025
₹34L budgetOne of the ten people, five convenors and five joint secretaries, who owned the whole fest: a thousand students working as executives, co-heads, heads and managers under us, fifteen hundred on the floor, ₹13.2L in sponsorship, vendors, venues and the speaker line-up, including Ashneer Grover, Striver and Vikas Divyakirti. I decided where every rupee went.
Manager, MINDBEND 2024 to 2025
Sponsorship up six timesRan a 130-strong team. Brought BIS in as title sponsor and DST Gujarat, AMUL, Domino's, Odoo and the Government of Gujarat on to the partner list.
Cultural Secretary, 2024 to 2025
ThanganatElected by the hostel. Ran the Navratri festival: grew its sponsorship from ₹30K to ₹1.5L and redrew the venue from a square to a round ground so more people could play garba without a hurdle.
Trip leader, Avian Experiences
A season in the mountainsFreelance, alongside college, for an Ahmedabad travel company. Twenty or so travellers a trip, with them from the first morning to the last night, running the day and shaping the experience, with the line back to the office so every trip ran smoothly.
