I'm Debashish, a writer and an engineer. I grew up playing cricket on paddy fields in a small village in Tripura, India.

I'm currently pursuing an MSc in Strategy, Innovation, and Management Control at WU as a double degree student. Most recently, I spent the first year of the two-year MBA program at the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad.

Previously, I studied Electrical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur where I also dabbled in computational biology, machine learning and high-performance computing on the side.

In my free time, I read, play badminton, travel, and write. I also have a bucket list.

Read FAQs.

  • You'll (almost) always find me in black jeans and solid black t-shirt. There is no particular reason for it, I just like it. When I really feel like switching things up, I switch to blue t-shirt and black jeans. 👘
  • I can sing a few songs, but you probably won't hear me singing around. 🎼
  • I love standup comedy. Hasan Minhaj is my favourite comedian. 🎭
  • I love Taylor Swift. She is the queen, no arguments on that! 🎼
  • I love bicycle rides. It's the best thing in the world. 🚴
  • I love the smell of new books. No matter how much anyone tells me about the upside of getting an eBook, I try to get paperbacks whenever possible. You can find my readings here. Update: I love my Kindle more now. You should get a Kindle. 📚
