• Internships:

  • CoreTegra Technology: As part of a team, I contributed to digitizing polling information and candidate credentials for over 10K voters and 12 candidates by helping develop a user-friendly digital interface. In India, polling information is typically distributed door-to-door through printed paper slips, which results in a significant amount of paper waste. Our digital platform eliminated the need for these paper slips by providing voters with online access to essential election details. This transition reduced paper waste by 50% while making the process more efficient and environmentally friendly

  • Office of Municipal Corporation, Zirakpur, Punjab: As a youth intern, I guided 44 elderly and Persons with Disabilities (PWD) voters through the “Vote from Home” registration process, ensuring accessibility in the electoral process for those who might otherwise struggle to reach polling stations. Additionally, I participated in door-to-door campaigns aimed at increasing voting awareness, engaging with community members directly to emphasize the importance of their participation. Through these grassroots efforts, I helped boost the voting percentage in the area by 2.25%
