I've always been driven by a desire to make a positive impact and help others. As a child, my dad inspired me with the idea of becoming an IAS officer—a goal that shaped most of my early ambitions. So, I started looking into ways I could really make a difference.After graduating from high school, I had grand ideas of saving lives through medicine—until I realized that blood makes me squeamish. So, engineering it was! Surprisingly, I found my niche in electronics and communication engineering. This shift not only revealed my adaptability skills and love for innovation, but also ignited a passion for building things that solve real-world problems. Here, I discovered that I thrive under pressure and possess admirable leadership skills (not to brag).Excelling in academics, I secured a position at the prestigious Robert Bosch; but the corporate world left me feeling unfulfilled. Driven by a thirst for purpose and personal growth, I took a giant leap—leaving my IT job while I was on the upward trajectory of my career, to pursue UPSC preparations in Delhi and soul-search for my true calling. This pivotal moment revealed my inner risk-taker and go-getter mentality - willing to face new challenges head-on to pursue my dreams. It taught me invaluable life lessons, beyond what I could have learned from the UPSC syllabus.All of these life experiences have led me here today, where I'm on a mission with Cerene Skincare, the first pillar in my vision of a holistic self-care brand. At Cerene, we're creating products that simplify skincare routines without compromising on effectiveness. Our goal is to break the cycle of excessive skincare consumption, offering sustainable solutions that are kind to both your skin and the planet.I'm passionate about creating products and empowering self-love journeys. Seeing individuals gain confidence and embrace their glow-up journey makes my heart full because it's deeply personal—I'm solving the problems I once faced myself.Beyond entrepreneurship, I'm dedicated to sharing my journey and the lessons I'm learning along the way. I try to create content that I wish was available to me when I was starting up. Helping others grow and succeed brings me immense joy.Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new interests, trekking in nature, and sharing good food with loved ones. I love to travel but I don't do it as much as I'd like. I love meeting new people and embracing new perspectives. Feel free to reach out and connect if any of my interests or goals match with yours, in this journey of self-care, innovation and personal growth.
