Ananya is someone who has evidently perfected the art of combining her artistic and intellectual expression, being someone who has excelled in both. Her tightly packed resume is only a precursor to someone who is full of life, bursting at the seams with the urge to do more, to be more, to impact people in meaningful ways. With her passionate indulgence in personal, professional, and academic pursuits, she is the prime example of someone who works hard to be able to do what she likes and what she needs to. 

As someone who has worked with numerous people on multiple projects, she honed her skills of teamwork and collaboration, shaping them into a useful tool. As an empathetic person, she adopts the strategy of understanding how people function and why conflicts arise instead of attributing them to errors or gaps. She credits the people around her for her progress, for acting as an inspiration for who she wants to be. “It’s very important to surround yourself with the right kind of people,” she said, explaining that the people around her reflected who she was and who she wanted to embody. 

Ananya emphasises on the importance of giving oneself time, learning to say no, and understanding how to prioritise commitments to avoid feeling overwhelmed or burdened, saying that she consistently avoids burning out by making sure to not let her life revolve around her service, and by letting herself indulge in pursuits of personal interest like her passion for food, the arts, her dancing, and more. 

She attributed her time at Enactus, Lady Shri Ram College, for allowing her to take part in the impact sector at such a level, saying that it increased her overall social awareness to work on the same. It had been a very significant step in her journey, and she ended up learning numerous lessons that continue to stay with her, making it her most enjoyable and educational time. 

Above all, she is a true testament to what and who shaped her, her mother and grandmother, whom she describes as her primary inspirations, a person who is fundamentally kind and passionate toward her goals.
