Being incubated at the Startup Incubation and Innovation Centre, IIT Kanpur (incubatoriitk) has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The vibrant environment, surrounded by passionate professors and talented students, has been instrumental in accelerating my vision. It’s not only a space for innovation and growth but also one of the most exciting and fulfilling times of my journey so far.

Our project, Chakra Imager, a cutting-edge data forensics and acquisition tool, has been incubated in Cohort 5. This milestone has been made possible through the support of C3iHub, which has provided crucial funding that allows us to conduct meaningful research and rigorous testing in the field of cyber forensics within the country. This partnership is instrumental in driving the development of innovative solutions that address the growing challenges of digital forensics and cybersecurity

As the Founder and CEO of Cyber Chakra, I am committed to equipping my country—and the world—to combat the rapidly accelerating threat of cybercrime. With the rise of sophisticated tools and techniques, cyber threats are projected to increase exponentially, potentially multiplying 100 times over. My mission is to develop cutting-edge tools, devices, and solutions that not only defend against these emerging risks but also set a global standard in cybersecurity.My vision is to build the first unicorn in the cyber forensic sector, leading the charge in advanced cyber defense. Through Cyber Chakra, I aim to create innovative solutions that are essential for a safer digital landscape, positioning both my country and the global community at the forefront of cyber preparedness.

I won Kavach 2023, my second major venture, where I once again planned strategically, predicted outcomes, and achieved victory. This experience deepened my understanding of human and team psychology.It’s a long story, but it taught me an important lesson: setbacks can sometimes lead to unexpected success. Initially, I wasn’t familiar with cybersecurity, but my previous experience in hackathons motivated me to try. On my professor’s suggestion, I teamed up with a new participant named VT. I shared what I knew, but as the registration deadline approached, VT bluntly told me that I was of no use to him and asked me to leave the team.Determined to prove myself, I told him, “I’ll see you in the finals.” I then went into intense research mode, delving into this new domain of cybersecurity. I meticulously planned everything, and our team ended up being the only one with two ideas selected in the first round, while none of VT’s ideas were chosen. I eventually traveled to Bangalore and won one of the biggest cybersecurity hackathons in the world.

In HAVTS, I aimed to turn my childhood dream into reality by developing holograms as a practical technology for the real world. I dedicated over a year to this project, diving deep into the mathematics behind it and making some intriguing discoveries.While I was passionate about the idea, I eventually realized that bringing it to life would require significant human and financial resources, estimated at around ₹1 crore. Given the lack of resources at this stage, I made the tough decision to pause the project, focus on earning sufficient funds, and revisit it in the near future.

I won the Smart India Hackathon 2022, which was my first venture where I planned strategically, predicted outcomes, and ultimately achieved victory. Through this experience, I gained valuable insights into human and team psychology.
