About me
I am currently pursuing my graduation in Mechanical Engineering, and I am a Cadet of 2 (A) Armd Sqn, Guntur Group HQ, under the National Cadet Corps of India. I am primarily interested in the studies of defence, strategy, tactics, warfare, geopolitics, peace and conflict etc. As of now, my other work areas include Parapsychology, Metaphysics, Philosophy, Archaeology, Genealogy, and every now then I find myself in a completely different subject. I strongly advocate that multidisciplinary approach is essential for a human, and Wikipedia, along with its sister projects, enormously helps for the cause.

My work
I have been to contributing Wikipedia and its sister projects since December 2014. I predominantly contribute to English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, around the scope of Indian military history. I am the founder of the Indian military history work group, an initiative under Military history WikiProject. I wish to graduate the group from incubator into a separate independent task-force namely Indian military history task force under Military history project. Later on, after attending TTT 2017, I have been extensively involved in outreach activities, spreading the word of Wikimedia movement wherever and whenever possible. In May 2017, I have been elected to the Executive Committee of Wikimedia India Chapter.
