Ved's About

COYS

What am I doing?💎

I am explicitly putting my attention into meaningful projects, helping me propel further while being stressed by them and obsessed with football!

Quick life timeline ⏬

A brief look into the 6 stages (only 6 for design purposes) I've grouped it into so far

Adapting

Good Stats, great xG

All my life, balance and working smartly has been key. Whether it’s education, health & productivity. I strongly believe that there’s always ways to get things done, and get things done even better too. I’m constantly expanding, and trying to get into phases of deep-work even more as I gradually develop capacity

Rapid Immersion

Chances created

Worked with multiple interesting organizations on a project basis. Stuck with a couple for multiple years, and 100x’ed my learning through incubators, confs, collaboration & personal development while working.

All of my work-like experiences so far

My primary focus is on multiplying the impact I can create with Nexteen, LooCafe & the other projects I'm working on, which currently have promising moonshot trajectories This is just a little showcase of the work that keeps me nostalgic and grateful for opportunities. (Omits the projects I'm currently working on, on my home page)

Focus

I've spent the last 4+ years now working with LooCafe in various capacities. Nexteen since 2 years and more, DRNF for 5 years and more. Every project I've done in this list below has been a tangent to it or a side project that I began and thoroughly enjoyed plus learnt from. I have an irrational optimism to do things at scale & learn by being Entreprenurial/working. While my focus is on a couple of primary projects that are still growing or newer projects that I delve into, I got into all of these organizations by loosing sleep and knowing that something incredible could possibly come out of it.

Tottenham Hotspur + Deccan Legion

Ambassador for Hyderabad Spurs + Matchday Volunteering → Feels like forever; Tottenham is crazy. (Still continuing)

A project that comprises some of my best memories. With so much going on at LooCafe + Nexteen (and others), this is the most relieving. 🎶

Top 6 Experiences Bulletin

Every 3 months, I update this list of Experiences (w blogs!) #EventfulLives Currently: January 2024 - March 2024

Spending nearly ~1 month in Delhi for Governance

I spent more time in the capital with officials, assisted in policy research and brainstormed new ideas for new regimes while meeting a lot of new people in politics, policy & government.

National Award Winner

LooCafe was one of the few private companies to be featured at the National awards for cities & sanitation, we brought a full life sized loocafe mini from Hyderabad and displayed our unit to the President of India.

The birth of iRise Travels

We found a way we could source flight tickets cheaper than the internet & created a new startup called iRise Travels, travelled extensively for meetings & our product sold like hotcakes.

Travelled :D

Because iRise Travels made flight tickets & accomodations so much cheaper, we thought, why not spend some time touching grass ourselves? Memorable set of experiences, spent 2-3 weeks outside.

AI Governance & Youth policy

Assisted in drafting policy for the state government & understood AI governance broadly while meeting my first set of people involved in the space.

LooCafe's 3-tier app was implemented

From the toilet finder app to the facility management system, we had a presentation of it all coming together.

Reading

Watching + Listening + Reading. As a child, I used to read - A LOT. And then my reading interest died down until I read this Reddit Post.

Current Reading (2023 Nov):

No specific genre, but Dan Brown, Carlo Revelli, and topic focused books in general are something I end up picking up. Rn: Geography focused - encyclopedia-esque while reading more on Indian product sucess stories - Biographies.


Fun fact: My website's logo is inspired from the physics' symbol for entropy - the reason why life forms stemmed from primordial soup
