How I got here

I grew up in Assam, where chai sets the rhythm of the day. 🍵

While studying engineering at Gauhati University, I spent five years tutoring. 📚 It taught me the rule I still work by: if someone doesn't get it, fix the explanation.

In 2017 I joined Abaqus Inc (allGeo) in customer success and stayed nine years, moving through product to Director of Product and People. Along the way I started Mahak Tea. In 2026 I was one of 52 founders picked for ISB's I-Venture Immersive programme, and then co-founded Zoronal. 🚀
