About the Author

I am a journalism and media student at Delhi Metropolitan Education (DME), affiliated with GGSIPU in Noida Sector-62, Delhi NCR. My reporting investigates how technology market shifts impact young consumers, students, and budget-conscious professionals. I examine the claims tech brands make regarding on-device AI and budget smartphones, testing hardware against daily reality rather than lab benchmarks.

When not testing phones or evaluating new software workflows, I track digital media production trends and campus technology adoption across the National Capital Region. You can read more about our mission on the About page or read my Editorial Standards.
