Engineer, Dhruva space

Started off the career with big dreams, constantly evaluating and my response to big challenges, learning and growing constantly. Graduated from Manipal Jaipur with Bachelors in Mechanical. Watched quite a lot of sci-fi, did lot of projects , always tried to focus on fundamentals and first principles (later realized they were called that when I watched Lord Elon Musk's documentary) and decided to something that will change the future or humanity, even I have to do soul crushing hardwork. Thus went and did internships at research faciltities, as they had really nice innovative culture or so they said. Had a lot of fun for 1 year doing experiments in basic sciences of Fluid mechanics, Computation fluid dynamics, read a bunch of papers and published a review paper. Post that the desire to do something crazy even became stronger, joined a budding startup, Dhruva Space, back in 2019-2020. Grew to lead development of India's First private satellite separation system to be authorized by government of India, a first of its kind mission as soon as the spce sector was opened up by GOI. Led the development from end to end, functioning and donning multiple hats, CAD designer, protoyping engineer, facility builder, Quality assurance guy, structural analyst, simulation engineer, Assembly integration and Test engineer. Had a blast for 4 whole years, Day in, Day out, monitoring nitty gritties to complete top leve product. Interacted with a lot of scientist from ISRO, DRDO etc. Have realized, I was not a good people's person, but I certainly can become one. Just need to keep my mind open to things. Want to become a leader, and lead India into the space. To Moon, Mars and onward we go !! Trying to start a stratup as I beleive I have a lot of products to offer to make space engineer's life easier and help them acheive their spectacular amibtions in space technology.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"For me, eChai is a second home. I've been associated with it since the early days, when it was already setting a different tone for how startup communities could work. As a traditional business owner entering the new-age D2C space, eChai supported me in every direction. Over the years, it became my window to the startup world — and also gave me lifelong friends who continue to show up, for business and beyond."

“I have no hesitation in saying that my association with eChai has been a gateway into the startup ecosystem. Through this platform, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many young and dynamic entrepreneurs. These interactions have been immensely enriching - I’ve learned a great deal and have always tried to offer guidance whenever approached. It’s a truly symbiotic relationship that I deeply value, and it wouldn’t have been possible without eChai.”

"eChai has played a truly pivotal role in HummingBird’s journey — even before Day Zero. From ideation to establishment and into growth, it’s been a constant source of support. It connected me with incredible people who’ve become more than just friends. One of the biggest reasons I chose to stay in Ahmedabad is because of the eChai community. It has shaped my growth — both personally and professionally — in ways that are hard to articulate. Honestly, words fall short when I try to express what eChai means to me. I’m deeply thankful and forever grateful to eChai for being such an integral part of my journey."
