Ahana Karthik is a student who studies commerce in a PU college and a music artist. She loves playing the guitar and aspires to be a musician. She lives with her parents and was born and brought up in Bangalore

As Bangalore is known for its traffic, she finds the Metro to be a better solution for her daily commute. As a student, reaching college on time is important to her, and travelling by Metro helps her stay punctual with ease. During her journey, she listens to music, which is both her passion and her career goal, making her travel time more meaningful and enjoyable. She notes a memorable encounter during one of her daily rides:

"My most favorite memory while I was travelling in the Metro was that I got to keep in touch and meet my old neighbor who I hadn't kept in contact with for more than 6 or 7 years. When I met her, it just brought me a lot of joy because she was someone I used to look up to, and I don't think I would have met her again if it wasn't for a simple Metro station."
