A profile of
Operator, mentor and Ed-Tech builder shaping creation-led learning across India — Co-Founder & COO at Karkhana Makerspace, Associate Director of Youth Innovation at TiE Bhubaneswar.
Chapter I · Karkhana
Six years inside Karkhana Makerspace have taught me that institutions don't change through manifestos. They change through programs that ship, partnerships that hold, and operating cadences that compound quietly. That's the work.
Chapter II · Communities
At TiE Bhubaneswar, the work is unglamorous: introductions, follow-throughs, candid feedback, the right room at the right time. The compounding effect of those small acts is the closest thing the ecosystem has to magic.
Practice
I partner with operators, founders and institutions across India who are serious about building lasting things. Conversations begin with an email — work begins when the fit is right.
Day-to-day leadership of Karkhana Makerspace — turning hands-on learning into sustainable institutional partnerships across India.
Through TiE Bhubaneswar I mentor early-stage founders and youth innovators on idea-to-traction, capital strategy and operating cadence.
Designing maker, robotics and STEM programs for schools, universities and accelerators — built to ship, measured by outcomes.
Speaking, panels and collaborations with brands, founders and investors building the next chapter of Indian education.
