1998Roots
Born in Jul 1998
Born to a lawyer and a government school teacher on long term leave to take care of her children, I was born to an early middle class family based in Kerala.
I have few memories of my early years, except for the fact that we moved every three years because of my father’s job.This meant I went through over five schools before I reached the 10th grade, which probably had an impact on how I grew up.
2016Computer Science Engineering @ Amrita
Kerala to Tamil Nadu for University
Defining part of my identity was when I left home to do my Bachelors in 2016 at Amrita School of Engineering, Ettimadai.
Life's early lessons on music, love, spirituality were formed here!"
2018My first (and only) relationship
Falling in Love over the internet ♥️
I met a girl - virtually.
We got close over time and met for the first time after almost a year.
She makes me a complete person. Taught me that Love, actually can be found anywhere - also online!
2020Jr. Machine Learning Engineer @ Metro Global Services Ltd.
Moving to Pune 🛫
I was placed at the end of my final year to join the Continuous improvement team to Innovate with the potential of AI.
This was coincidentally, only a few months before COVID-19 pandemic hit India
2020from Pune to Hyderabad
The pandemic & opportunities it opened 🎶📷
Early news about the pandemic triggered a few in the company to start moving back home before the public transport closes down.
I moved to Hyderabad to live with my uncle's family for what I thought would be a week. Little did I know how long this was going to last.
This led me to my YouTube journey. My uncle’s camera equipment and my musical and technical skills fueled this initiative."
2021Carnatic Guitar Teacher
Early steps to being a Guru
Seeing the rare skill of Carnatic guitar that I possessed thanks to my musical family and my father's guitar skills, I saw an opportunity to teach - there were not a lot of teachers, but there seemed to be several interested to learn.
Given my passion to teach, and that to create side hustles, this encouraged me to start teaching - with my first student from Australia.
2024BI Expert @ MAKRO
Off to Amsterdam 🇳🇱
This was a major shift in the direction that I had been aspiring for.
Living alone, in a city that is miles ahead in terms of infrastructure and quality of life, Netherlands was the offer made to me when I sought for an international experience to my leadership team.
I embraced it wholeheartedly, fully utilizing the crucial aspects of my mid-career life.
2025Guitar/Vocal Performer
Started performing in the Netherlands
In 2025, I managed to start giving live performances in local shows & bands.
