About Me

I’m currently pursuing an M. Tech. (Research) at IISc, Bangalore, where I’m fortunate to be advised by Prof. Shubhada Agrawal. Prior to this, I completed my undergrad at IIIT Delhi, where I was advised by the wonderful Prof. Manuj Mukherjee.

I enjoy solving problems in uncertain settings, and my current research focuses on bandit algorithms and sequential statistics. I also have a strong interest and experience in machine learning theory, statistics, and quantitative finance — including a stint as a Quantitative Research Intern @ Millennium.

I’m always up to discuss any of these topics, so feel free to reach out!
