About

I grew up in Aksanpally, a small village in Telangana. I lost my father when I was five. My mother raised me alone.

Nobody told me what I could become.

I earned my way into IIT Madras, India's No. 1 university. And I graduated from it.

Volleyball was the thing I loved most. Then a major knee injury at IIT. Two surgeries. I never played again. Losing it pushed me toward things I didn't expect.

The full story is in the posts.

What fills my days now

• Building. I build products for a living and lead the technical projects at my company.
• Training. The knee took volleyball, not discipline. I lift six days a week, cycle, and run.
• Drawing. Pencil on paper. I post my work at @rockyarts_7.
• Teaching. I teach AI/ML to students who remind me of the boy I used to be.

Start here

• The boy who told his maths teacher he would get into IIT
• Talent was never India’s problem. Access was.

Currently building

Caira, a multi-tenant WhatsApp AI receptionist that hospitals can trust. It answers patient questions and books appointments on the chat app people already use.
