Nice to meet you

I'm Anushka.
Let's talk.

I'm a business student at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business interested in strategy, consulting, and human-centered design. I like working at the intersection of structured problem-solving and thoughtful execution — whether that means designing a product flow, building a business case, or turning messy user needs into a clear solution.

My Story

I grew up navigating different cultures and contexts — an experience that shaped how I approach every challenge. Moving between worlds taught me to ask better questions, adapt quickly, and find common ground in unexpected places. It's a perspective I bring into every room I walk into.

At Michigan, I found my intellectual home at the intersection of business and design. Ross gave me the analytical toolkit — the frameworks, the rigor, the ability to build a case from the ground up. My coursework in UX, entrepreneurship, and strategy gave me the creative dimension. Together, they make me someone who can move between a whiteboard and a spreadsheet without missing a beat.

What drives me is the question behind the question: not just what should we build, but why — and for whom. I want to work on problems that actually matter, with teams that care about getting them right.

What I bring

Core Strengths

Structured Thinking

I break complex, ambiguous problems into clear frameworks — and communicate them simply.

Human-Centered Lens

Every strategy or design decision I make starts with a deep understanding of who it's for.

Global Perspective

Growing up across cultures gives me a distinct ability to navigate ambiguity and understand diverse contexts.

Design Sensibility

I care about how things look and feel — because clarity and craft are never at odds with strategy.
