Founder Journey

Every great story starts somewhere. Mine started in a classroom with an idea and a relentless drive to build things that matter.

🖥️
Early Years

Started Learning Technology

Began exploring electronics, coding, and systems — building curiosity into capability.

⚙️
School Years

Built School Projects

Completed 72+ projects during school and college years — from electronics experiments to software prototypes.

🦾
Milestone

Humanoid Robotic Arm

Built a humanoid robotic arm from scratch — presented at an IEEE conference, establishing early technical credibility.

✈️
First Startup

AirO2

Founded AirO2, an electric aviation concept — my first real startup attempt, guided by mentors Subaash, Jagadeesh, and Ankit Jaiswal. "The idea was strong. But it lacked a team." Paused — but the lesson stuck: team beats idea.

"The First Attempt" — AirO2

Before Forgeit, there was AirO2 — my first real startup attempt. Guided by incredible mentors who believed in me: Subaash, Jagadeesh, and Ankit Jaiswal. The idea was strong. But it lacked a team. It was paused — but I learned the most important lesson of my founder journey: team beats idea, every time.
