Significant projects undertaken/involved:-

2006: QUAD � Final thesis, Srishti School of Art, Design and Tech.
With QUAD, I sought out to look at the slowly evolving but rapidly growing
video game industry in India. The focus of QUAD was mainly to look at
the lack of Human and Social interaction in commercial video gaming spaces (video gaming parlors) in India. My project sought to design tools and systems to stimulate such interaction. The result of the project was the design of a Gaming Parlour incorporating my designs to improve Human and Social interaction.
