Why TSM New York City ?

  • New York City, the city where dreams are made of! I would love to see how Wall Street is working in tandem with Technological Firms to improve customer experiences. My area of interest is in Transactional Banking which has seen a tremendous improvement due to more transparent and efficient methods in place in recent years.

Starting a business

  • The mantra of business and technology is the same. To make the lives of their users easier. I believe both go hand in hand and having an entrepreneurial mindset will set you apart from others.
  • Since I'm interested in Commodities Trading, I want to develop a platform using Blockchain and IoT which reduces fraud (prevalent in the industry), thereby aiding both buyers and sellers and building trust in the community.

What keeps you ticking?

  • Getting Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable. It forces me to push beyond my limits in whatever I pursue.
