The Diamond of Success
Understanding the structure
The structure of a diamond was
arrived upon by taking the social
situation of 2050 at the core and
surrounding them with key areas of
interest in which work will need to
be done to support that social
experience.
At its edges are the yardsticks,
symbolizing a need to move beyond
our limitations and evolve.
Like in diamond, strength in this
structure can only be lent if people
are willing to work on every aspect
and create change.

each focus area
Suggested the conversion
of empty shipping
containers to meet the
demand for low cost
housing.
Wrote an IEEE award
winning whitepaper
on the topic in 2011
which helped me earn
an internship at Smart
Box Industries, Dubai
(June ‘11 to July ‘11)
In a globalizing world it is necessary
to know about the forces that drive
global trade, economic and
geopolitical situations.
Participating in and organizing
various Model UN conferences,
have allowed for an improvement in
my debating skills and given an
understanding into these matter
even upon the drafting of
resolutions to solve various global
situations.
Final Year Engineering Project:
Low Cost Smart Grid
For this project we worked on the
electricity consumer side of the
system creating a method of smart
metering. Such a system is the basis
for a smart grid because it allows for
real time data on electricity
consumption and allows for
customers to adjust to their
electricity consumption through
visual representations of their usage.
The major companies
currently involved in
Smart Grid projects

•Rise above the congested city.
•Low investment as compared to metro,
monorail.
•Sharp turn possible.
•Flexible transit system
Bringing communities together through innovative
redevelopment projects that energise and vitalise. This will
lead to inclusive growth and improve the urban culture.
