Professional Experience:

I co-founded and managed an educational products start-up for 3 years, leading the development of innovative products to enhance children's learning experiences. My responsibilities included managing operations such as product design, and manufacturing to ensure the products met educational and learning needs. Navigating the challenges of a start-up environment, I gained valuable experience in business strategy and team leadership. Additionally, I volunteered as an educator with the Keep Moving Movement for two years, conducting classes for children focused on personal development, life skills, and academic support. I implemented engaging educational activities and workshops, working closely with other volunteers to maximize program impact. This experience helped me develop strong communication and interpersonal skills through interactions with children.

Education:

I pursued a Master's degree in Livelihoods and Social Entrepreneurship from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Guwahati. This advanced program provided me with specialized knowledge in sustainable development, social innovation, and entrepreneurship. I delved into subjects such as rural development, and impact assessment. My coursework was complemented by hands-on projects, where I designed a self-initiative project. My dissertation focused on education and government schools.

During my time at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences from 2022 to 2024, I secured the first position in the annual cultural fest, Shutter Story. Additionally, I participated in Prajatantra: National Youth Festival 2022-2023, organized by the Praja Foundation, which further enriched my experiences and skills in youth engagement and cultural activities.
