I am 18 y/o living in Ahmedabad. After enrolling in an IT degree at KIRC College, I realized my true passion lies in machine learning and artificial intelligence. I made the bold decision to drop out and dedicate myself to becoming a self-taught machine learning engineer. Currently, I am actively learning through various courses, focusing on building the skills needed to excel in the field of machine learning and AI. I co-founded HashtagLab, a startup dedicated to helping businesses and individuals grow their online presence. We specialize in social media marketing and content strategies, empowering our clients to connect with their audiences and drive growth in the digital space. I’m also a passionate stock trader with a strong understanding of fundamental and technical analysis, developed during high school. Soon to be certified as an investment adviser from NISM, I’ve honed my ability to read balance sheets and navigate the financial markets with confidence. I'm a book geek with a deep passion for learning from self-made entrepreneurs and business leaders. I’ve had the privilege of meeting and holding talks with various founders at investor meetings, and I constantly seek insights from their journeys, both in person and through books. During high school, I sacrificed my studies to dive into Python, analyze balance sheets, and connect with business leaders who recognized my enthusiasm at a young age. I'm not afraid to choose a different path, driven by my passion for learning and growth.
