Aabesh De
Founder at FloraSense
CEO @ Flora
I've been humbled to have lived in India, Belgium, Colorado, Indiana, Barcelona, and Chicago. If there's one underlying theme out of that hodgepodge of places, it's that resonating with people of all different backgrounds and cultures is now at the core of everything that I do.

I studied Operations Management, International Business, and Technology Management at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. When I'm not finding and presenting stories hidden within data, I'm probably following my passions. These include videography, photography, piano, entrepreneurship, creative design, and sketching.

        I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working with Aabesh De for the past two years on the IU College of Arts and Sciences Luminaries Program, a student-led initiative that connects alumni in leadership positions with current Indiana University students in order to promote student professional development, mentorship and lifelong connections. 

As the program’s advisor, I have found Aabesh to be very bright, warm and accomplished in his professional approach. He has shown a strong degree of motivation and creativity by using the latest research to offer thoughtful and insightful suggestions on how to improve the organization. He also worked to foster and build community with his colleagues and program volunteers. 

In addition, Aabesh has always served as an incredible representation of the caliber of students Indiana University is educating - be it through participating in alumni or career services events to working with peers on projects, he’s served as a compassionate leader regardless of the role he has held. I’ve always been grateful for Aabesh’s involvement, and have really enjoyed working with him. I am proud to continue my professional association with him and would be thrilled to work with him again if given the opportunity.
