About

I am passionate about innovation that solves unmet societal needs in a sustainable and scalable manner. In college, i enjoyed working on innovative projects like RC Aircrafts, Off-Road Vehicles and Soccer playing Robots. However, there was nothing more meaningful than building products with a purpose.I discovered this while building innovative wheelchairs in college which won the Aavishkar contest in the year 2011. Now, me and team are building Arcatron Mobility, an innovative products company to make assisted living dignified and safer. Arcatron Mobility has launched a range of innovative wheelchairs that make bathroom access easier and safer for people confined on wheelchairs and bed. Arcatron has a mission to advance global standards of assisted living with Purpose Driven Innovation.
