What inspires you?
The strongest use case of technology is it’s use in the social impact space. What inspires me every single day is how technology is changing the world around us. What drives me every single day is to uncover use cases where conservative ways of working can be done away with the help of technology especially in under developed, developing and under served communities.

What did you want to be when you were a kid?
My dad was an aeronautical engineer and we often travelled with the family. I noticed that the air hostess in the airplane had a selfless job. They would serve food, water to the passengers with dedication. I was totally fascinated by that. For the longest time, I dreamt of being an air hostess :)
