About

I handle the Software and Ground segment for Dhruva space, where we build Satellite Data processing , Mission analysis & Satellite - Ground station communication products in the Space tech industry. I have been pretty fascinated with Space all my life. So I studied Applied phyiscs at Indian Institute of Space science and technology and then straight up jumped into ISRO In my 8 years at ISRO , I worked on Artificial Intelligence , Satellite data processing , calibration and architecting web portals which disseminate petabytes of data. I also was the Project Manager for NISAR's ( NASA ISRO SAR ) ground segment. My most memorable moments at ISRO were when I was deployed to Antarctica , where I interacted with many Indian scientists and also learnt end-end satellite's technology.

Associate Director - AI & Software

Dec 2023 – Present · 2 yrs 5 mos · Hyderabad, Telangana, India · On-site

My team and I engineer the entire digital infrastructure of space missions—from the software that controls satellites, ground stations, and deep-space telescopes to AI-driven data processing and intelligence models that power next-gen space and security operations.
In a world where space dictates national security and global supremacy, We stand at the frontier, crafting technology that shapes the future of exploration, defense, and commerce.
I do whatever it takes to push my country forward in the space race—one breakthrough at a time. 🚀
