I was raised in a small village in northern India as part of a family of five. My parents instilled a strong desire to learn. Facing daily challenges strengthened my resilience, adaptability and determination. With their unwavering support, I successfully passed the entrance exam for Vidyagyan School, an opportunity that reshaped my confidence and ambitions.

I was 23 when I left for the US to pursue my PhD in economics. I was a graduate, eager to escape my small, stifling community in Pakistan and explore uncharted territories. All I knew was that I wanted to learn more about the world, ask more questions, craft compelling stories from what I learned, and share them with others. I had no particular research field in mind and no work experience.
