From Circuits to Startups: My Journey at the Intersection of Technology and Entrepreneurship
How It Started: The Embedded Systems Bug
Back in college, while most of my classmates were memorizing theory, I was cracking open gadgets and building tiny circuits on my hostel table. The magic of turning lines of code into physical actions—like making a sensor beep or a relay switch—was addictively satisfying.
That obsession led me deeper into the world of embedded systems and IoT, a domain where software meets hardware, and imagination can become reality with just a microcontroller, a soldering iron, and some caffeine!
Building Businesses, Solving Real Problems
Over time, my passion evolved into purpose. I realized that technology isn’t just about building cool stuff; it’s about solving real problems for real people. That insight led me to found and lead ventures like iTechGeeks, where we’re constantly pushing the envelope on product development and tech solutions, and Nexus Travels (US), where we blend technology with service to deliver seamless travel experiences.
As CTO of Nexora Innovation Pvt Ltd, I’ve had the privilege of working on cutting-edge engineering, IoT product design, and business automation solutions that power startups and established companies alike.
Key Lessons Learned
1. Stay Curious:
The tech world changes fast. The best way to keep up is to never stop learning or questioning.
2. Embrace Failure:
Not every experiment or business idea works out—and that’s okay. Every “failure” is just feedback in disguise.
3. People Matter Most:
Whether you’re building a team or a product, it’s the human element that defines success.
4. Give Back:
Mentoring, sharing knowledge, and helping others in the community multiplies your own growth.
What’s Next?
As I continue this journey, my mission remains the same:
Use technology as a force for good, keep building, and always be open to what’s next.
