Hi there! Welcome to my digital garden.
Here, you can find my academic publications, fun projects I’ve tried, stuff I’d like people to care about, some random musings and notes on my favourite things.
Recently, I started a weekly curated newsletter on data science and R: “Next — Today I Learned About R”. It’s been loved by more than a hundred learners so far.
About Me
I am currently a doctoral student of Business Analytics and Statistics at the Haslam College of Business, the University of Tennessee, under the supervision of Prof Sean Willems.
Previously I earned my BA and MBA from IIM Indore in April 2021. I was also an ERASMUS+ scholar at the University of Latvia between Feb-Jun 2019. I completed my schooling at Sainik School Tilaiya in 2016.
I enjoy programming, especially #rstats. In my free time, I read books, participate in adventure sports, and lift my spirits with Calvin and Hobbes. Spotify has boosted how much I listen to music; my playlist of Classical Hindi Music is popular on Spotify.
If you found anything useful on my website, please tell me.
