Before coming to Ashoka, I believed I had done it all when it came to clubs, societies, and events. In high school, I had participated actively, organised MUNs, led societies, and hosted large-scale events. I thought college would mark a new chapter, one focused purely on academics, research, and study, with little space left for the other things I had already “ticked off.”
But My Caterpillar Moment was realising just how wrong I was. At Ashoka, I discovered that creativity, leadership, and collaboration are not boxes you check off once; they are essential parts of who I am. Whether it was being a Student Ambassador for the University, doing live projects and internships with industry giants such as Dabur and Cars24, or organising fests and events catering to more than 900 external and internal participants, I found myself drawn again and again to these spaces where people come together, share ideas, and build something larger than themselves.
These experiences reminded me that my growth does not happen only in classrooms but also in the messy, exciting, and unpredictable process of working with others: navigating challenges, finding solutions, and creating moments that bring joy to a whole community. What I once saw as an “extra” part of my identity is now something I know I can never separate from myself.
Ashoka gave me the chance to rediscover this passion and to transform how I see my own journey, not as a choice between academics and leadership, but as a balance where both fuel my growth.

I came to Ashoka University intending to major in Computer Science and Mathematics. My goal was to become a researcher in the field, possibly in Artificial Intelligence. Everything was planned, logical, structured, and clear. However, things began to shift when I took ENT 3011: Strategies for Market Access, taught by Professor Shantanu Bhanja.
That course, which introduced the concept of “moments of truth” in entrepreneurship, became a moment of truth for me. One of the highlights was a market visit to Sleepwell, where I saw how business works in the real world. Walking through their operations and talking to their team made the lessons come alive and showed me how entrepreneurship connects ideas to life beyond the classroom.
Intrigued, I enrolled in more entrepreneurship courses in the following semesters. Gradually, my academic path shifted: I moved away from mathematics and leaned fully into entrepreneurship, while continuing my work in computer science.
Today, I am a Computer Science and Entrepreneurship major, a combination I never would have imagined when I first arrived at Ashoka. That single course did not just change my major; it changed how I think about problems, risk, and impact. That was My Caterpillar Moment.
