FULL BIO
Hi!
I'm currently a Stanford student majoring in psychology with a minor in symbolic systems. I'm also doing my master's next year (2008-2009) in the Learning, Design and Technology program at the Stanford school of education.
I'm very interested in the mobile industry and entrepreneurship in Asia, with a focus on India. My vision is to do something with mobiles from a business perspective to educate/train/teach the masses.
I love traveling, meeting international people, anything and everything to do with mobiles in Asia :)
