Raga

Where music became another way for me to express myself — inspired by A.R. Rahman and Harris Jayaraj, and shaped through the stages I’ve performed on. .

RAGA SAGA 2025 · GROUP WINNER

First place at the Murugappa Group's employee talent hunt.

Performing alongside Madhankumar V and Sanmugapriyan M,my team took the top spot in the Group category with a rendition of "Kannithivu Ponna."

Musical approach is influenced by the melodic sensibility of A.R. Rahman and the atmospheric arrangements of Harris Jayaraj. Their music continues to shape the way I approach every performance.

Stage

From winning college theme-show competitions to performing sacred roles in my village's Paska, the stage has always been an important part of my journey.

College Theme Shows

Won prizes for theme-show performances during college years at Loyola-ICAM — earliest stage recognition, and where my interest in acting took hold.

Paska — Village Passion Play

Paska is a traditional dramatization of the Passion of Christ, staged in my village. Over the years, I’ve taken on different roles, portraying key parts of the Biblical narrative as part of this tradition and for my community.

Ground

Off the keyboard and off the stage, on the volleyball court.

I’m passionate about volleyball, having played at the district level and being part of SSS Boys, the group that organizes and hosts our annual district-level volleyball tournament every December 31st — bringing the same discipline, teamwork, and leadership I value in engineering to both the court and the event.
