About me
Nice to meet you

I'm a Fashion Management student at Istituto Marangoni, Milan — obsessed with the intersection of luxury, culture, and creativity. When I'm not deep in a brand strategy, I'm on the tennis court, dancing Kathak, or building WIHC.

This space is my little corner of the internet — equal parts portfolio, diary, and mood board. Born in Mumbai, currently living and studying in Milan.
