Based in Ahmedabad, India, I am an Architect and Educator deeply engrossed in the study and practice of architecture, not just as an end but as a powerful means to guide society towards positive transformation. My belief that architecture transcends its immediate function to act as a catalyst for social, cultural, and economic change shapes my approach to teaching.In my role as an associate professor of Architecture, I specialize in housing design, viewing each project as an opportunity to nurture communities, foster sustainable living, and contribute to the urban fabric with a mindful approach to future needs.As an educator, my fascination lies in unraveling the intricacies that exist between teaching methodologies and learning outcomes, particularly within the sphere of design education. Fortuitously, my involvement in the development of various curricula and the evolution of pedagogical strategies has deepened my interest in design pedagogy. This exploration occurs on several fronts—from crafting vision statements that guide educational institutions to devising assessment techniques that enhance the effectiveness of courses.I am also an occasional cook, avid reader, music enthusiast; and I grind my own coffee!
