About Me:

I was born and educated in Bombay (since 1996 called Mumbai). Aside from eight years spent overseas my workplace has mostly been Mumbai. After earning a bachelor of engineering degree in electronics & communications engineering, I've enjoyed a fulfilling thirty year career to date which included ten years with Tata Consultancy Services and five years with Larsen & Toubro Ltd, executing software projects in the USA, Canada, the Netherlands, Sweden and Japan. In the late 1990s and early 2000s I headed a couple of high-tech companies. We delivered services in the exciting domain of embedded systems.

Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Was an avid aeromodeller as a schoolboy (gliders and rubber-motor aircraft). Went to an institute of technology and earned a university engineering degree in electronics & communications engg. Have enjoyed a three decade career, during which I have designed hardware, written software, managed software delivery and founded and run a technology company. Am keenly intrigued to apply my experience to building autonomous aerial vehicles and meeting like-minded people.
