Sports
Passionate about sports and grew up playing multiple sports as a kid - Soccer, Tennis, Running Track & Field events, Table Tennis, Golf, Snooker, Swimming, Hockey, Cricket etc
Throughout my high school years, I’ve actively developed leadership skills and resilience on and off the field. Soccer, Tennis, and Running have been more than sports to me—they’ve taught me the importance of teamwork, discipline, and pushing beyond limits. Whether coordinating plays on the soccer field, keeping pace on a run, or strategizing in Tennis, these experiences have shaped my character and prepared me to lead in diverse settings.
