For Nithin Kumar Kongari, the world did not mean anything till the sun went down. When the night came and everyone retired to bed, he quietly enjoyed the glowing lights of the night sky.

A senior financial analyst at CriticalRiver Hyderabad, Nithin comes from a non-science background, but developed an interest in stargazing when his friend Venu introduced him to the cosmos. Soon, he began to escape the noise of daily life and find calm in the star-filled sky.

“Outside work, I actively engage in trekking and hosting community events. I enjoy organizing and participating in activities that bring people together, helping me stay refreshed and maintain a healthy work-life balance,” he says.

Nithin finds joy in simple things like watching people look at the moon for the first time and hearing their “wow”. “It truly makes my day,” he adds.

Along with his friend, Nithin conducts more than 40 stargazing sessions, and other recreational activities, round the year. For him, each session is an opportunity to inspire wonder.

Of course, there are challenges working with diverse groups. But he approaches each situation with patience, calmness, and respect. Over time, these experiences have transformed Nithin and helped him overcome the fear of public interaction. He has learned to understand people better — their perspectives, behaviours, and what brings them together.

His learning reflects at his work in CriticalRiver as he engages with colleagues, events, and opportunities to contribute. He has learnt to turn ordinary events into memorable experiences. “For me, it is not just about activities. It’s about impact. I continue to learn while also using my experience in building connections and creating meaningful engagement,” he concludes.
