Moved to Dubai for my Masters. A war started 2 months later.

I moved to Dubai in January 2025 with one goal finish my Masters in Business Analytics at Heriot-Watt University and build a career I’m proud of.

Two months later, on February 28th, a war broke out.

Everything changed overnight. Campus life stopped. Opportunities dried up. The job market went almost entirely remote or on hold. I had no choice but to fly back to India.

I’m not writing this for sympathy. I’m writing this because I’m flying back to Dubai on April 8th, and I refuse to go back without a plan.

Here’s what I bring to the table:

∙	I think in business. Naturally. I’m constantly looking at how a business can grow, cut waste, or move faster.

∙	I’m studying Business Analytics but what excites me isn’t the theory, it’s the real application.

∙	I don’t need a fancy title. I want to work with a founder, a small team, or a growing business where I can actually make a difference.

∙	I’m hungry. Not entitled. There’s a difference.

I’m not asking for a six-figure salary or a corner office. I just want a real shot to contribute, learn, and prove what I can do.

If you’re a founder, a business owner, or know someone building something I’d genuinely love to connect. Even a conversation could change everything right now.
