Bengaluru, India
I've been building things since I was fourteen — back then on a phone, because it was what I had. I never really stopped. Since then I've co-authored a published AI research paper and co-founded an AI studio that signed ₹50 lakh in contracts. These days I'm at Entrepreneurs First, looking for a problem worth spending the next several years of my life on.

About
I wrote my first line of code when I was fourteen, on a phone. I didn't have a laptop, so I typed programs on a small screen and ran whatever I could. I'm not sure I understood where any of it was going — I just liked that I could make something out of nothing.
By tenth grade I'd recorded a forty-five-video series in Hindi, teaching people how to build full-stack web apps end to end. I made it alone, published it myself, and somewhere along the way it crossed thirty thousand views. Teaching something forces you to actually understand it — that's roughly when building stopped being a hobby and became the thing I do.
At IIT Delhi I studied textile technology on paper, but I spent most of my real hours writing software. I got pulled into a research collaboration with a Delhi eye hospital, building deep-learning models to detect a rare ocular cancer from images — work that turned into a peer-reviewed paper, one of the first attempts to apply AI to that problem. Around the same time I worked with a team on a computer-vision system for the Indian Army. For the first time I was solving problems that mattered to someone outside a classroom, and I wanted more of that.
So I started companies. The first was Bhaasha, where I was CTO and built a tool that translated Hindi legal documents into English while keeping their exact structure intact — the clause numbering and tables where the legal meaning actually lives. The product worked. We still couldn't crack distribution, and we wound it down. That taught me something I hadn't really believed before: building a good product is maybe half the job. Getting it to the people who need it is the other half, and it's harder.
After Bhaasha wound down, I spent a stretch at iKITES — first as an entrepreneur in residence, then leading technology and innovation. I owned a $40K industrial AI project end to end, worked closely with the CTO on architecture, and managed a small team of engineers and interns. It was my first real taste of running delivery for someone else's money, on someone else's timeline. I left in my final semester to go all in on building.
Which is when I helped start an AI engineering studio, Chirality Labs, as a co-founder. We shipped five products in six months and signed a little over ₹50 lakh in contracts across fintech, aviation, and energy. It was a good business, and it taught me how to turn a vague client problem into something that ships. But services and products are different games, and I found I wanted to build something of my own that could reach the whole world, not one client at a time.
Which is what brings me to Entrepreneurs First. I'm here to find a problem worth spending years on, and to build a company around it — this time trying to get all of it right at once: the technology, the product, and the distribution.
At IIT Delhi
I studied Textile Technology at IIT Delhi (2022–2026). Most of what I remember from those years, though, happened outside the syllabus — in the clubs and teams where I got to build things and lead people for the first time.
Worked my way up to leading the campus developer community — around fifty members, eight coordinators, sixteen executives. Ran technical events and collaborations (Sarvam AI, Composio, AI Square), and took a thirty-person contingent to Cognizance at IIT Roorkee, where we came back with fourteen podium finishes.
Represented IIT Delhi at the national Inter IIT Tech Meet — competing in the GenAI contingent at 13.0 (IIT Bombay), then advising the AI segment of the contingent for 14.0.
One of three picked from eighty applicants. Built and maintained the portal that runs IIT Delhi's placement process for 3,000+ students and 100+ recruiters. Awarded a Notable Contribution medal.
The only first-year on the twelve-person tech team for IIT Delhi's cultural fest. Built the frontend of the festival site — it took 700K+ hits and 10K+ registrations.
Projects & research
As part of an IIT Delhi team, I worked on a computer-vision system to improve camouflage effectiveness in the field. The specifics stay confidential — but the Army thought enough of the work to send an official letter of appreciation.
Forty-five videos teaching full-stack development from scratch — CRUD, auth, image handling — recorded and published on my own in tenth grade. It's crossed 30,000 views.
Watch the series →As a research collaborator with Dr. Shroff's Charity Eye Hospital, I built deep-learning models to detect Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia from ocular images — one of the first AI studies on the problem. Published in Ocular Oncology and Pathology and presented at ISOO (Goa, 2024), the All India Ophthalmology Conference, and ARVO-India.
