I'm just a guy who loves solving problems and building things that help people.

Now
Hadal IndustriesBuilding Hadal Industries: robot submarines that protect the world’s undersea energy, internet and trade assets, 24/7. Built a robot that docks itself in under six weeks, and won a $1.9M defence order.
Before
Co-founded Catalyx Space: re-entry capsules that bring cargo back from orbit in one piece, for in-space manufacturing, contested logistics, asset recovery and hypersonics.
  • First orbital mission within seven months of starting the company; tested one of the world’s lightest capsule deployers on ISRO’s SSLV-D3. Took a re-entry capsule to drop test in six weeks.
  • Raised $7M from Outlander, HF0, Qasar Younis (Applied Intuition), Girish Mathrubootham (Freshworks) and others.
  • Backed by Techstars Space, with NASA JPL and the US Space Force.
  • Pre-seed at the highest valuation ever raised by space-tech founders from India.
