When I was in 11th standard, I wanted to pursue Economics Honours, given my love for the subject. After a few months, I decided to pursue law instead, for I developed an interest in the Company Law. I believe this was the best decision of my life. I completed my schooling from to Sri SathyaSaiVidyaVihar, Indore, where I studied on full merit scholarship for having secured 10CGPA in 9th as well in 10th standard. I did not wish to take a drop after the 12th standard, so I attempted CLAT right after my board exams. Securing a rank of 1500, I decided to take admission in Institute of Law, Nirma University, Ahmedabad over NLUO, NLUJAA, MNLU, CNLU, RGNUL and Symbiosis, Pune, for I wanted to stay close to my parents.My mentors tried persuade me to take a drop and go for top National Law Universities, but I decided to stay put. I did not want to waste an entire year, studying the exact same thing that I did the previous year. I am really glad that I joined Nirma University, for the academic atmosphere offered by the Institute and the supportive group of faculties ready to walk us through the entire law school life is difficult to find these days. Being in the merit list of my Institute, I was awarded 50% scholarship by Nirma University for the entire course of five years. In the very first year of my law school life, I participated in the K.G. Shah National Moot Court Competition. I aimed at gaining first-hand experience of Moot Court Competitions so that I can prepare well for the next intra-murals. I worked extremely hard and my hard work did work pay off, for I made it to the semi-finals and was adjudged as the Best Speaker and Runner-up Mooter in the competition. For the academic year 2017-18, I became the gold medallist of my batch. In the second year, I concentrated more on studies and research paper publications and again secured the gold medal for the academic year 2018-19. I was also a part of the Legal Aid Committee, the Music Committee and Mission Sangharsh.
