About
Hey there! I am Akanksha. Here is how it all came together.
Math was my first love. I never had to study it twice. I used to spend hours solving puzzles, quizzes, and sudoku. That early joy of solving things never really left me. When I discovered statistics, it felt like math with purpose. I followed that path through undergrad and a master's, learning how things work and why they matter. Somewhere along the way, I met code. What started as a course requirement quickly became something more. I saw how a few lines could replace hours of manual effort and scale beyond anything I could do by hand. That changed everything. I began building small tools, automating tasks, and solving problems I cared about. The blend of statistics and technology gave me the clarity and confidence to take on real challenges.
As I explored different fields, I knew I wanted to work on ideas that help businesses grow and improve how people work. That led me to Information Systems, where I could bring together strategy, systems, and data to build something useful. It also led me to Accessible AI, one of my most meaningful projects so far. The first time I pitched that venture in front of a panel, I felt everything I had learned come together. It was not just about models or numbers anymore. It was about people, communication, and standing behind a vision. That moment taught me that building solutions is not just technical. It also takes clarity, direction, and the ability to bring others along. Pursuing an MBA is my way of building those skills the same way I once built logic and code. And somehow, it still feels like solving a puzzle. Different pieces, new challenges, but the same joy I felt when I first opened a math book. The circle feels complete. And I am just getting started.
