About
I build systems where land, health, and intelligence meet.
Critical thinker, seeker, entrepreneur, learning by building.
Roots
Born in September 1994, Kolar. Brought up in Bangalore. Middle‑class upbringing, values first, resilience by practice. I’m a Bangalore boy at heart, curious, grounded, and shaped by community, culture, and my mother tongue. I love exploring new domains and knowledge, and I can debate almost anything when the facts are clear.
Early formal education in Mechanical Engineering; began an engineering degree later and left early to learn by building on real projects.
I learned to see before I learned to ship: Autodesk AutoCAD Certified Professional, furniture design, years behind the camera in food, portrait, and documentary photography with a Diploma in Fashion Photography, graphic design, and AI generalist.

The journey
2013–2015
Freelancing & Limeware Solutions
Autodesk AutoCAD Certified Professional work for construction and product teams; built custom and gaming PCs, software setup, and PC hardware and software distribution, sales & service. First lessons in resilience and real business.
2015–2020
Play21 Media
Expanded into photography (food, portrait, documentary) alongside studio work; led graphic design and brand systems for emerging businesses; started furniture design prototypes (from 2018) with local makers; shipped clear stories and simple digital executions where design and delivery met.
2020–Present
Soilyf Ecoculture & Cortex Loop
From quick fixes to deep systems: an ecosystem engineering studio for land & food, and a prevention‑first health intelligence venture. Working as an AI generalist across geospatial analysis, remote sensing, and decision dashboards to plan, measure, and improve outcomes.
2022–2024
i2we Foundation (mentor‑led)
Shadowed my mentor on systems thinking, legal frameworks, and global startup meetings; learned financial models' hands‑on, my practical MBA. Led a small dev team to ship a social car‑pooling app; ran wellness events and community programs.
Now
Currently focused on flagship regenerative sites (Soilyf Ecoculture) & health‑intelligence pilots (Cortex Loop). Open to pilots and partnerships that move the work forward.
Not‑for‑profit
Exploring a not‑for‑profit arm focused on farmer education, regenerative practices, and open knowledge — tools, playbooks, and training that communities can use without paywalls.
How I work
Clarity over noise — root cause first.
Systems over hacks — design for years, not weeks.
Integrity over speed — keep it real, keep it simple.
People first — community, craft, and outcomes.
A Note
From freelancing at 19 to building ecosystem ventures today, the through‑line is the same.
Seek Truth,
Build Clearly,
and
Leave things better than we found them.
