AR | 2023 | RP
Hello, I am a final-year undergraduate student at IIT KGP. I believe we are all made up of stories, and I take every opportunity to interact with and learn from new people. I've been very involved with extracurricular pursuits over the last five years at KGP. As a sportsperson, I enjoy devoting my time to athletics, particularly Javelin throw. I am also an acrylic artist with skilled hands in creating vibrant acrylic paintings. I am a fitness enthusiast and a go-to person for any problem. I hail from Araria district in Bihar and I'm currently working on publishing my book based on my life experiences. My Instagram account serves as my portfolio. Don't forget to checkout! Looking forward to connect :)

Things I'm Proud Of That You Won't See on a Resume

  • I overcame my physical limitations of having a bipartite patella after joining the Inter IIT Athletics team of KGP. The Kneecap (Patella), at birth is a combination of two separate bones which eventually fuse at birth to become a single unit. Bipartite Patella is a congenital knee condition where these two bones in the knee cap don’t fuse. It is a rare condition that affects only 1-2% of the population and create problems. I had problems with walking and running with ease when I came into KGP but with consistent efforts and training, I can now lift very heavy weights and even proved myself in various competitions. I overcame this without any medication, and this is something which makes me feel proud about myself.
