Aditya Singh Email & Phone Number

I was born into a family of doctors, in a city where being successful was either being an engineer or a doctor. I had an affinity towards arts, technology, computers, video games, music, and problem solving. I chose to mix engineering with biology and pursue a career in biotechnology at a very young age. My options were very limited.Halfway through college when I was pursuing engineering in biotechnology, I suddenly questioned:Who am I? Where am I? What am I? and most importantlyWhy am I?After pursuing my research internship at Boehringer Ingelheim and looking at the world through Petri dishes, I was at crossroads.Do I go further in biotech? - The path of lifelong research.Do I pursue an MBA? - The most convenient path to make a career at the time.Do I find jobs and get experience? - I did, and quickly came out of them.Do I travel and figure out the who/why/where/what questions again? - I did and it helped me become who I am today.I backpacked through India for a couple of years, chasing stars and capturing the night-lights through my lens. I made a short film that got acknowledged at a few film festivals.I volunteered as a teacher in a village lost in time; the people of Turtuk (Ladakh) slept in Pakistan and woke up in India during the war of 1971. 40 years after the Indo-Pak war, I was amongst a very few selective civilians who got an opportunity to go there and help educate the children of Turtuk. I taught them Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Music and a few life lessons that I had learnt.While I was travelling:I became a storyteller.I became a teacher.I became a filmmaker.I became a photographer.I became a biker.I became a stargazer.I became a lover.I became much more than I could have ever fathomed I could be.Later after coming back to civilization, I realized the world is like a video game, and I'd rather play it on my own terms.I became an entrepreneur.
