“Future. Future. Future.

Everyone waits for it to happen…”

I don’t.

I instead prefer to be the REASON it happens!

I’ve never waited for opportunities to knock on my door. I’ve always thought of creating my own doors: by solving someone’s problem, by making someone’s life better, and by shaping the future—not just mine, but the world’s.

But where does this strong belief come from? It all began with a small child, with his grandfather, watching Shree Krishna in the Mahabharat, a 5000-year-old story of an ancient Indian battle. I was deeply inspired by Krishna’s entire personality—his wisdom, patience, problem-solving, and using power for the good of others. And that’s when I decided to become like him, i.e., to improve society, mankind, and the world in whatever way possible.

Inspired by Krishna’s example, I started taking steps to convert empathy into action, finding small ways to help those around me from a very young age… From carrying grocery bags from shop to home to helping my mom with household chores, from assisting my grandfather in using a mobile phone to guiding my younger sister in studies, and even serving free meals at temples.

But as I grew up, I realized that empathy wasn’t enough to put Krishna’s teachings into practice, I needed a tool just like he had: the Sudharshan Chakra—a weapon, a gadget, a supreme power. But for me, it was not just a weapon to eliminate the evils: it was a guiding light for the directionless; it was a shelter for the defenseless; and a means to create solutions that bring hope and opportunity for others. And therefore, I found my Sudharshan Chakra in technology.

I started to explore the digital world deeply—learning programming languages, testing out new tools, and creating small projects. While these experiments improved technical skills, they also taught me the patience to test, fail, and improve it. A visit to the local blind people’s association became a turning point. Hearing their struggles, I felt empathy—but knew sympathy wasn’t enough. They needed innovation that could truly change their lives.

I realized that one of their main problems was using traditional white canes—devices that often failed to detect obstacles in time, putting users at risk. So, I set out to find an affordable solution to it. After 3 months of research and experimentation, I  developed a compact, user-friendly device that can be easily mounted to a normal stick and accurately detects obstacles.

Building the prototype was just the first step; turning it into a solution everyone could access required resources—and that provides its own set of challenges: As I tried to seek financial support from angel investors and VCs to scale my device, all initially declined, citing my “small age.” But I was also not one who would surrender so easily. So, I kept on trying and approached about 35 angels and incubators until I finally got a Rs.1,00,000 offer from Shark Teens. Now, after interacting with about 160 blind individuals, I am also working on an affordable braille-learning device—17x cheaper than existing ones—aimed at creating opportunities for 43 million blind people.

And this is just one of the social transformations I aim to do, but for bringing many such changes in different fields, one is not sufficient alone. I needed an army of 100 such people who were ready to give their 100%, and then I would definitely succeed. So, I started India’s top tech community, ChangeMakerz, where 100+ student enthusiasts like me are training themselves to become ready to change this world.

And to all of them, I would just say one thing,

I wasn’t born extraordinary. I’ve always dreamt extraordinary.

Dreamt to solve someone’s problems, to make someone’s life better and to make a change to CHANGE this world—not by replacing it but by rebuilding it.
