Professional Summary

Manager at Renewables Overview, specialising in project finance for utility-scale solar (50–300MW). Fuses a technical foundation (IIT Roorkee, Mechanical) with financial expertise (IIM Rohtak, MBA, 🥇 Gold Medalist) to make clean-energy projects bankable. Outside the day job, a prolific builder of finance tools, AI agents, IoT systems, and SaaS — most notably Tia, a baby-tracking product built for his own family.

Personal Mission

Make renewable-energy projects economically viable, and build technology that supports family life rather than competing for attention — preserving what matters, at human scale. (Synthesised from his site + Tia's founding ethos. Refine in your words.)

Values (evidenced in his own writing)

Discipline & determination — "no matter what it takes, I will not take only an MBA degree but will carry a Gold medal" (Timeline)
Self-belief / dare to dream — "Believe in yourself. Dare to dream. Dreams do come to life." (Scholarship essay)
Accountability — publicly told his batch "I will win the gold medal" to create pressure to perform
Care, patience, trust, privacy, respect — the Tia - Origin Story
Privacy over profit, patience over speed, substance over notifications
