Recent Honors and Awards

Awards are like rewards that are necessary to validate your moral conciousness to enable you can stay confidently focussed on what you're building

1. All India National Topper : This was a big achievement for me because I was severely sick during the months of the exams which meant I had to rely on whatever I had studied earlier. Also there were more than a million students that gave the exam. Learned an important lesson - incremental growth is what makes you the winner at the end of the day.It became evident to me that no matter what comes in front of me in the future, I will have the mental acuity to overcome it.
2. 1st Prize @ Harvard Model UN : This was my 20th Model United Nations conference, and undoubtedly, the most unforgettable one. Engaging with more than 120+ delegates from countries around the world provided me with a profound understanding of the global landscape like never before. Throughout the event, I honed several essential skills, including lobbying, defending my stances, cooperation, investigation, and research.
