Education:
B. Arch: Allana College of Architecture ‘12 (Pune University) (Passed with a First Class)
Thesis:
• Project: An Institute for Language and Culture
For my thesis, I formulated a topic based on my interests and what I concluded was something the city of Pune really required. The focus was a space that supports, not only teaching of different languages, but also exposure to related cultural activities such as film/music/dance festivals, exchange and cultural programs, etc.
