Despite growing up only a few towns away from each other in NJ, Palak and Nikesh first met in the fall of 2016 during their freshman orientation at Bentley. They immediately found themselves in the same group of friends who remain extremely close to this day. Whether it was studying for Calc 3 and Econ or sharing a bus ride back home during the holidays, they quickly formed a close bond and cherished every moment spent together. That bond grew even stronger when they studied abroad for a semester in Milan, as they explored all of Italy and even ventured out to Paris and the French Riviera. Fast forward to today, and the two of them work directly across the street from each other in Lower Manhattan, next to the World Trade Center. This area holds a special place in their hearts as they frequently commute into the office together, and it is also where Nikesh proposed to Palak whilst aboard the Tara sailboat in October 2023. Palak and Nikesh are counting down the days until their wedding and are extremely excited to celebrate with all their loved ones. They can't wait to begin the next chapter of their lives together and create even more beautiful memories filled with adventure, laughter and love.
