I’m a PhD student and Industrial Designer passionate about sustainability, farming, and design for social good. Currently, I’m working on an adoption model to support marginal farmers in India with sustainable practices. I enjoy meeting new people, exchanging ideas, and exploring cultures through everyday conversations and shared experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To connect with people in a meaningful way, beyond tourist spots and hotels. I want to experience local life, share my journey, and build friendships across the world while contributing positively wherever I go.

Interests

I love exploring how design and sustainability intersect with everyday life. I enjoy working with my hands, sketching, prototyping, and building things. Beyond work, I’m curious about different traditions, food cultures, and stories from people around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy everything from Indian classical to indie and world music.

I read books mostly design, sustainability, and philosophy. but also stories that expand my imagination.

I like watching documentaries, thoughtful cinema, and sometimes lighthearted comedies to unwind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once worked with small-scale farmers to co-create a toolkit for sustainable farming. Seeing their excitement and ideas shaping the design was one of the most inspiring experiences of my life it showed me how powerful collaboration can be.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share knowledge about design, ergonomics, and sustainable farming practices. I’d love to learn more about local lifestyles, traditional knowledge, and hidden gems from the places I visit. I believe in exchanging skills and experiences, whether it’s design thinking, or simple life hacks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer interesting conversations about design, farming, and culture. I’m happy to teach a bit of yoga, or even sketching. I’m respectful of space and happy to contribute in any way I can to make the experience enjoyable for both of us.
