I'm a web3 developer, researcher, senior at VIT Vellore and an avid advocate of decentralization. I firmly believe in the power of digital IDs and decentralization to empower people. My work revolves around blockchains, decentralized finance, digital IDs, and cryptography. Recently, I collaborated with the Government of India to propose the decentralization of identity infrastructures like Aadhaar and Aapaar IDs. In pursuit of spreading awareness on decentralization, I established a community of 1400 (and growing) students at VIT Vellore, called the VIT BCC, which aims to catapult students into web3 career paths, where I now serve as chairperson. My goal is to build public identity products for the betterment of society and give people control over their most important asset—their identity.
