As a child, my interest was in Maths and Science. I have chosen engineering because it includes logical thinking, problem-solving, and provides great avenues to create impactful solutions that can help mankind. It was also giving the option to be multi-disciplined and good career opportunities.

The movie I had seen in my childhood creating a time machine using computers and the stories I heard from my cousins creating the solutions, just by writing a piece of code intrigued me towards computers (hardware/ software). I also loved working on C programming during my engineering course. So I have chosen Information and technology (IT) / Software field.

This field has shown me a lot of other avenues as well and I am fortunate to play different roles working with software products. I like to do product management because it allows owning and leading a product/feature wearing multiple hats, learning something new through the challenges, working with different business functions and be strategic and tactical for creating solutions. The day of PM is never the same.

Though I had a basic idea of blockchain, I have started exploring it in deep when I heard about a national bank fraud case and how it could have been avoided using blockchain. It grabbed my interest after realizing that blockchain is not just bitcoin, but if applied the right way, it has a huge potential to solve many world and societal problems. I am now at the juncture of both worlds.
