Originally hailing from Lucknow (a city in northern India), Kartik is currently pursuing his Master's in Business Analytics & Data Science at OSU and will be interning as a BI Intern this summer.

On his 21st birthday, Kartik made a promise to himself: to visit one new country each year. This year, he'll be wandering around Istanbul. He adores delving into new cultures, reading books, indulging in sports and occasionally tinkering with code.

His guilty pleasure? Binge-watching reruns of Kitchen Nightmares. His toxic trait? Believing he could manage a restaurant better than those poor souls on the show!
