Brief Introduction

I am a social and developmental psychologist by training, a husband of a beautiful wife, and a father of three wonderful children. I am deeply interested in educational innovations and exploring different ways to inculcate curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. I have also partnered with a non-profit organization to drive and evaluate educational projects in developing countries, and I would love to have conversations with anyone who has ideas on how education and the world can be made better.
