    B.Sc. (Hons.) in Mathematics

    University of Delhi ↗

    My undergraduate training was primarily in mathematics and provided the theoretical foundation that later led me toward statistics, machine learning, optimization, and algorithmic research.

    Alongside mathematics, I also studied Economics and Commerce, giving me early exposure to economic reasoning alongside mathematical modelling.
