Super super happy and privileged to be part of Solve For Tomorrow organized by Samsung India and FITT Delhi as a Design Mentor to two teams, AI Overflow and Bio Patch. Out of over thousands of applications, the Top 50 teams were selected  and were fully sponsored for this event conducted here at IIT. The three days comprised of speaker sessions, guest lectures, talks on Design Thinking, Prototyping and developing Business Models. We were assigned slots for break out sessions where the teams discussed their business plans with their mentors and worked on their pitches. Out of 50 teams, the Top 10 teams would get funding opportunities from Samsung and the Top 3 teams would recieve products and financial aid worth ₹1 Crore. Guessss what? Out of the two teams that I was mentoring, one has been selected in the Top 10, and now we await the next round! I've learnt so much in these 3 days from these talented teams and the networking opportunities have been through the roof.

The Dream Team is a dedicated focus group of India's Top Design Aspirants that are on a mission to crack IIT and NID. I run the Podcast, Living the Dream, with the aim to build a Dream Team of young designers that have the hunger achieve their design dream.

Living the Dream is a podcast that helps design aspirants CRACK the CEED entrance exam for Masters in Design at top IITs in the country. Living the Dream began as a travel and lifestyle podcast on Instagram that spoke proudly about adventurous individuals and human beings that dared to go against all the odds to follow their passion. 

Today, Living the Dream is back with Season 2, The IIT Dream. Currently, I'm a student at IIT Delhi pursuing my Masters in Design. I gave my CEED in the year 2021, with a category AIR 9 and an open rank of 355. Also, in the same year, I cleared the NID prelims and mains with an AIR 2. 

The main motive, is to help as many design students, as mang aspirants looking forward to this year's IIT Entrance exam, to be able to give everything I have, all the knowledge, all the struggle that I went through in the last one year. This time, Living the Dream is going to go through a transition. Season 2 is going to be all about chasing those dreams that you never thought never existed in the darkest corners of your mind. This is for those people that don't believe that they have the capacity to achieve something way beyond their league. To be really honest, I felt like this, exactly one year back. I never in my wildest dreams had ever imagined that I'll be in an IIT. That too, IIT Delhi. This is for the believers, for the dreamers. I'm going to help you get into IIT. We'll do it together. Even if there's one, that makes it, I'll cry my eyes out. That's going to make me the happiest. It's time to give back to the universe.
