I have
been building.
I have grown by following different kinds of curiosity — in classrooms, on courts, on stages, on pages, and through ideas that ask me to contribute beyond myself.

BeginI never wanted
one lane.
The experiences I value most are the ones that asked me to learn something new — sometimes in a classroom, sometimes on a court, sometimes under a spotlight.
The story so far has been built through very different kinds of learning. I qualified for the Global Round of the World Scholar’s Cup and advanced to Yale Tournament qualification. I have also taken my learning beyond textbooks through ACER programs, the Chandrayaan-3 MahaQuiz, the Space Olympiad and entrepreneurship experiences.
Outside academics, tennis has become a major part of my journey. In 2026, I reached the semi-finals of the TAISE U-17 Singles and Doubles national championships. Alongside sport, I have continued training in Kathak for more than nine years and have taken on theatre, music, writing, public speaking and leadership.
I have never walked
alone.
Some milestones are personal achievements. The memories around them are shared.

My parents, Ankur Bindals and Sanya Bindals, have been an important part of my journey. Through school milestones, competitions, performances, matches and new ideas, they have been there for the moments that make the journey meaningful.
I am grateful for the encouragement that has allowed me to explore different sides of myself — to work hard in academics, compete seriously in sport, keep learning Kathak and theatre, speak up in forums, and turn ideas into projects.
“The achievements may have my name on them, but many of the memories behind them are ours.”
The numbers are only
the beginning.
Behind every number is a lesson, a team, a rehearsal, a match, a page or a moment when I decided to try.
Six ways I
keep growing.
Each chapter captures a different side of the same journey.
