With a master's in development economics, I've gained insights into two key realms: - The unexpected link between a basic probability class and the foundation of AI. - The vital role of empathy and robust institutions in tackling development challenges. Having my degree in (2), I ventured into (1) for better pay, finding myself at Nielsen, where I honed my skills in applying statistical models to enhance the ROI of FMCG and retail brands. Three years immersed in data science, analytics, and consulting left me pondering: Could I leverage these skills to address the issues closest to my heart? Returning to my roots, I embarked on a journey as an Impact Consultant with Samagra, collaborating with state governments to craft and implement solutions for large-scale citizen-centric problems. This role not only sharpened my technical prowess but also equipped me with invaluable life skills to navigate my relentless pursuit of systemic change. Now, after over six years in India's dynamic workforce, I'm driven by an urgent mission: to apply my accumulated knowledge to break the patterns and build future. I'm eager to forge connections, seek mentors, and welcome constructive criticism from those passionate about transforming the status quo. Let's join forces to make a tangible difference together.
