Hi, I am
Ishaan Poddar!
The International School Bangalore, Class of 2026
Explorer House Captain / Sports Prefect
An Economics enthusiast and problem-solver who loves uncovering patterns, whether in data, people, or ideas, and turning them into meaningful insights.
Numbers
Numbers have always been my playground. From analyzing trends to building models, they’ve given me a way to explore patterns and uncover hidden relationships. Watching how math and numbers can explain phenomena from beehive architecture to the ideal racket angle while playing table tennis has opened my eyes to its beauty.
Economics
Whether analyzing policies, trade-offs, or human behavior, Economics gives me a framework to decode complexity, connect abstract ideas to real-world outcomes, and design solutions that create tangible impact. It is a subject that helps me find clarity amidst chaos.
Sports
From a young age, I’ve always loved getting involved in sports. I love the adrenaline of fast-paced games, but also the patience and composure required from the mind. Being one of my favourite stress busters, it is something that I will definitely continue to pursue.
Community Impact
The idea of bridging opportunity gaps, whether through leadership, mentorship, or providing data-driven solutions, is what drives my impact on society. It’s inspiring to see how small interventions can shift trajectories, empower individuals, and build a more equitable social fabric.
