Not your usual law student

A second-year law student at the VIT School of Law, Chennai, whose work sits where law, education and public policy meet — in courtrooms-in-training, in classrooms, and in the two organisations she founded before she could legally vote in most of them.

At VITSOL she is one of ten Programme Representatives for the BA LLB programme, an executive committee member of the Debating Society, and a student athlete with the VITC athletics team. Off campus, she interns, volunteers, and builds platforms for students like her.

Her services, as listed on LinkedIn: public speaking, writing, project management and non-profit consulting.

Things she built

Founder · Chennai · 2026

UnmouldEd

"Reimagining education beyond moulds"

A student-led education venture, eighteen months in the making before its September 2026 launch. UnmouldEd runs live sessions and events for students on opportunities, productivity, personal growth, startups and extracurriculars — starting with a simple refusal: that every student has to fit the same mould.
