Our Story

I've never been particularly good at doing anything halfway. If I care about something, whether it's my career, the people I love, a completely unnecessary creative idea, or apparently planning a wedding, I tend to throw my whole heart into it. I'll obsess over the tiniest details, change my mind seventeen times, and somehow still get ridiculously excited when it all comes together.

Growing up between Mumbai and Singapore has shaped a lot of who I am. My family has always been at the centre of my world, and one of my biggest influences has been my dad. Watching him build his career inspired me to enter the maritime industry myself. I may have followed him into the same world, but over time, I found my own ambitions, challenges and reasons to love it.

Outside of that, I'm a bit of a contradiction. I love having a plan, but some of my favourite memories have come from plans that went completely off-script. I can be incredibly particular about the smallest detail and completely unserious about everything else. I love dressing up, but I'm equally happy doing absolutely nothing. And while I can talk to almost anyone, the people closest to me will probably tell you that each of them gets a slightly different version of Sneha.

I think that's because people mean a lot to me. I remember tiny conversations years later, get ridiculously attached to memories, celebrate other people's milestones as if they were my own, and somehow turn completely ordinary moments into stories that will be retold for years. I love loudly, laugh loudly, talk probably a little too much, and will always find an excuse to bring everyone together.

And then there's Arijit.

Somehow, he became the person who gets all the versions of me. The ambitious one, the sentimental one, the dramatic one, the overthinking one, the ridiculous one, and the one who occasionally needs to be told, "Sneha, it really isn't that serious."

He's the person I want to tell the completely insignificant details of my day to, dream ridiculously big with, annoy for absolutely no reason, and come home to when the adventure is over.

Which is pretty impressive considering the first time we met, he forgot I existed.

I have forgiven him. Mostly. ❤️

I was born and raised in Singapore to Bengali parents who had made the move there from India, and grew up alongside my older sister, who now lives in Australia. Singapore was home throughout my childhood, and growing up there gave me plenty of chances to explore very different sides of myself. I played the trumpet in my secondary school marching band, spent my junior college years in the astronomy club, tried my hand at DJing for a while, and later served two years in the Singapore military as a rocket system operator.

Four years ago, I moved halfway across the world to Boston to pursue a PhD in computer science, working in AI and tech. I've always loved technology and figuring out how things work, but my curiosity rarely stays confined to one subject. History, geopolitics, science, space, or some any cool topic I discover online can send me down a rabbit hole.

I'm also very much a people person. I love meeting new folks, hearing their stories, bringing different groups of friends together, and having the kind of conversations that start casually and somehow continue for hours. Some of my favourite memories have come from exactly that, good company, good conversation, and just chilling.

Outside of work, I love Formula 1, football, science fiction, traveling, and pretty much always having some kind of music playing in the background. My taste is all over the place, from EDM and Bollywood to country, rock, pop punk, and orchestral music, depending entirely on the mood. I'm particularly fond of road trips and weekend escapes away from the city, especially when there is some nature to explore. Life for me is a lot more interesting when there is always something new to discover and when you don't take every moment too seriously. And Sneha is the person I want beside me for all of it, because with her, I can simply be myself, and enjoying all the little moments of life together just feels easy and natural.
