About

My Story

I have an extensive background in engineering and innovative product-based solutions. I have been part of various research organizations and assisted scientists across India. I love the idea of bringing technology, business, and design responsibility into one single role. Products have the ability to create a global impact. If I need to summarise in a sentence of what impact I am striving to have on the world, that would be making technology affordable.
