The event brought together over 150 participants and was highly praised for its organization, structure, and academic quality. By managing operations, logistics, and team coordination, I ensured a seamless experience for delegates.

I organized the Pickleball Showdown, a competitive sporting event designed to promote one of the fastest-growing sports in India. The event brought together passionate players, new enthusiasts, and local communities, creating a vibrant platform for showcasing talent and fostering engagement with the sport. By managing event logistics, sponsorships, and participant experience, I successfully established the Pickleball Showdown as a model for how emerging sports can be popularized through well-structured tournaments and community involvement.

Top experiences in school
Vriksh Sakha
As part of the Vriksh Sakha initiative in school, I undertook a two-year program focused on connecting with nature and learning about biodiversity on campus. The program required students to visit over 100 different trees mapped across the school, spend dedicated time under each tree, and study the information inscribed about its species and significance. I successfully completed the entire journey, spending at least 30 minutes under every tree, which not only deepened my knowledge of the environment but also instilled patience, consistency, and a strong sense of ecological awareness.
Edison - Science fair
At my school’s Edison Science Fair, my team and I developed an innovative solar panel prototype designed for desert environments. Recognizing the challenge of dust and mud accumulation on panels, we engineered a cleaning device that could efficiently remove debris, ensuring the solar panel resumed optimal functioning. This project not only highlighted our problem-solving and engineering skills but also offered a practical renewable energy solution for arid regions. Our innovation was well-received, and we were awarded an A grade for the project.
Havoc - School literary compilations
I was featured in Havoc, a published compilation of selected poems and stories from students across my school. My contribution was a two-page poem, the longest entry in the collection, centered on India’s loss in the 2023 World Cup Final and the emotions surrounding it. The jury appreciated the depth and expression in my writing, and I was honored with a rose from the selection panel as special recognition. This experience nurtured my passion for creative writing and gave me the confidence to express complex emotions through poetry.
Free Elective
For my free elective project, we were encouraged to explore something we had always wanted to do, or try something completely new and out of our comfort zone. I decided to do something close to my heart — I created 15 small canvases, each one representing a different corner and memory of my school. From classrooms and corridors to playgrounds and quiet spots, every canvas captured a piece of the place where I grew up. It was a long but fulfilling process, and by the end, it felt like I had turned my entire school experience into a collection of paintings — a colorful tribute to the journey that shaped me.
Elocution
I participated in my school’s Elocution Competition, held before the founder and an esteemed jury. I chose to deliver an excerpt inspired by Malcolm Gladwell, centered on the idea that the rank of your college does not define your success. The experience not only enhanced my public speaking and presentation skills but also gave me the confidence to deliver thought-provoking ideas to a larger audience. I was awarded a B+ grade for my performance.
SPORTS
In school
Throughout school, I actively participated in athletics, winning several races and excelling in track events. While victories were memorable, I always valued the spirit of sportsmanship above winning, ensuring fair play, teamwork, and respect for fellow competitors remained at the heart of my sporting journey.
Tennis
I have been a passionate tennis player since school, dedicating years of training and discipline to the sport. My consistent performance led me to secure 4th place at the state level, which earned me selection for the nationals. In the AITA Under-18 rankings, I achieved a career-high rank of 857, marking an important milestone in my journey. Beyond rankings and tournaments, tennis has instilled in me values of resilience, patience, and sportsmanship, shaping both my athletic and personal growth.
Golf
I began my golf journey at the age of 8, quickly developing a deep passion for the sport. To refine my skills, I trained under professional coaching at the Gulmohar Club in Ahmedabad. Over the years, I actively participated in tournaments at prestigious courses including Kalhaar Blues & Greens, Glade One, and Kensville Golf Club. Golf has not only honed my focus and precision but also taught me the importance of patience, discipline, and consistency, values that continue to guide me beyond the course.
Chess and Swimming
I have pursued both swimming and chess at competitive levels, achieving notable success in each. In swimming, I specialized in the 50m freestyle, reaching the National stage where I secured 1st and 2nd positions. In chess, I represented my school team at the NWR State Championships, where we placed 2nd overall. Both experiences not only sharpened my physical and mental discipline but also instilled qualities of focus, resilience, and strategic thinking.
EXTRACURRICULARS
Model United Nations
I began my MUN journey in 2023 with my first conference at HLCC MUN, the largest MUN in Gujarat, and since then, I haven’t stopped participating. Over time, I have grown as a speaker, debater, and leader, consistently honing my skills in diplomacy, critical thinking, and negotiation. I have proudly secured 4 MUN victories to date, each one strengthening my passion for international relations and public speaking. MUNs have not only shaped my confidence and communication but also deepened my understanding of global issues and teamwork.
Science Programs
During my school years, I actively participated in multiple summer programmes at the Vikram A. Sarabhai Community Science Centre, Ahmedabad, which allowed me to explore science and technology in a hands-on and engaging way. In 2018, I took part in Fun with Visual Programming, where I learned the basics of coding and logical problem-solving through interactive visual tools. The following year, I expanded my interest in science by joining Fun with Physics – Junior, which deepened my understanding of physical concepts through experiments and practical demonstrations. In the same year, I also completed 3D Modeling with 3DS Max, a course that introduced me to design and modeling software, helping me develop creativity and technical skills in digital modeling.
These experiences sparked my curiosity and gave me a strong foundation in technology, problem-solving, and scientific thinking, which continue to influence my academic and extracurricular pursuits.
Trekking
I have always been passionate about trekking and adventure, having completed more than 15 treks across India, each giving me a deeper connection with nature and resilience. These treks have taken me through diverse terrains—from lush forests and rugged hills to high-altitude trails—helping me build endurance, adaptability, and a spirit of exploration. Currently, I am expanding my journey beyond India and preparing to venture into the Himalayan circuit in Nepal, which will mark the beginning of my international trekking experiences. Trekking for me has never been just about reaching the summit, but about embracing the journey, teamwork, and the lessons nature teaches along the way.
Robotics
I had the opportunity to represent my school at the National Robotics Competition, where my team successfully advanced to the semi-finals. In this round, it was a head-to-head race between the robots, and while our robot initially took the lead, a technical error caused us to lose the race. Despite the setback, the experience was immensely valuable, teaching me teamwork, problem-solving under pressure, and the importance of resilience in competitive environments.
Interests
Drawings
I have a strong passion for art and craft, often exploring creativity through detailed drawings and innovative handmade designs. Beyond individual work, I also enjoy applying my artistic skills to collaborative projects. I had the opportunity to lead the Drawing and Design Committee during the planning of our seniors’ farewell, where I directed the visual theme and décor, combining creativity with teamwork to deliver a memorable event.
Guitar and singing
Apart from sports and art, I also play the guitar, something that has been a creative outlet for me since class 9. I was an active member of Euphoria, my school’s music band, where I performed from class 9 to class 11. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed experimenting with melodies, especially playing Indian songs that connect deeply with audiences. For me, the guitar isn’t just about music—it’s about expression, rhythm, and creating an atmosphere where people can feel the music as much as hear it.
