Green Apple Award

ABOUT ME

My dream is to become a successful entrepreneur. Currently I am developing my latest virtual choreography venture Kahaani. Through my ventures I strive to combine technology and entrepreneurship to solve real-world problems. Previously I created Green Chilies, a green technology venture. Along with my ventures I also work as a developer at Optum where I innovate and develop new projects in the shark tank. With the knowledge, skills and connections of an MBA, I hope to achieve my dream of building my next venture, a healthcare technology startup.
I have a variety of interests including sports, dance, volunteer work and travel. Along with work I manage a fusion dance team, BU Chankaar, judge at national fusion competitions, teach workshops and work as a team liaison at competitions. I also enjoy volunteering with United Way Youth Venture, Young Jains of America and hosting classes at the Boys and Girls Club of Boston. I also love seeking out adventures and have been to over 30 countries and speak 4 languages. When I am not working, dancing or volunteering I am constantly looking for new travel adventures or keeping up with my favorite football team, the New England Patriots!
