Professional Summary:
I hold a Diploma in Electronics and Communication and have over nine years of experience in scientific research and technology innovation. From 2015 to 2022, I served as a Scientific Assistant at the TIFR Balloon Facility in Hyderabad, a national laboratory specializing in Astronomy and Atmospheric Sciences. I was part of the Control Instrumentation team in the Balloon Augmentation Group, where I contributed to the development of space-grade electronic systems.
In 2022, I co-founded SeedxEnergy Private Limited, where I currently serve as Chief Executive Officer (CEO). SeedxEnergy is an ocean technology startup focused on producing cost-effective, green electricity from ocean waves. Alongside my co-founder Mr. Dilip (Founder and CTO), we developed a first-of-its-kind turbine-based wave energy converter designed for direct exposure to ocean conditions. Backed by a decade of research, our team successfully validated the turbine's performance through a proof of concept and a 200 kg prototype, tested in a custom-built 10-meter wave simulation tank. Our startup was officially registered in October 2023 and has been incubated at Anna University's Anna Incubator in Chennai since August 2024.
I am now seeking new professional opportunities in Lithuania, where I will be relocating in July 2025.
