Sridhar founded Indus Instruments in 1992 and has been designing and building products since then for both outside clients and for manufacture and sales by Indus. Products for outside clients cover a wide range: industrial turbine controllers, topographers, aberrometers for measuring human vision, ultrasonic devices for detecting chemical weapons, wireless H2S gas detectors & flame ionization detectors for the petrochemical industry, well analyzers for the oil industry, TransCranial Doppler systems to detect bubbles in the blood stream of astronauts in training, and research devices to characterize the reactivity of lunar dust for NASA.Sridhar is an Adjunct Professor of Medicine and has enjoyed a long collaboration with researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston that has resulted in SBIR grants, publications and several commercially successful products. Indus manufactures and markets these products for cardiovascular researchers worldwide. These include Rodent Surgical Monitors, Doppler blood flow measurement devices for small animals, and rodent implantable telemetric biosensors. All these preclinical devices are used by cardiovascular researchers worldwide.Sridhar is the co-founder/CTO of Scintica Instrumentation Inc., a company dedicated to connecting laboratory instrumentation companies with scientists all over the world engaged in cardiovascular, cancer, tissue monitoring, imaging, and immunology research.Sridhar was chair of the Industrial Advisory Board for the BRAIN center, an Industry/University Collaborative Research Center for Building Reliable Advances and Innovations in Neurotechnology whose mission is to promote industry backed research by universities. Sridhar was a member of the IAB for University of Houston Biomedical Engineering and occasionally guides undergrad capstone projects and advises on master's and Ph.D. dissertations. He serves as a SBIR grant reviewer for NIH Cardiovascular Sciences study section.Sridhar holds a doctoral degree (1988) and a Masters degree (1985) in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Rice University, and a bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras (1982). He was the V.P. of Engineering from 1988 to 1990, and the President from 1990 to 1992, at Coherent Systems, a Houston based medical device start-up that developed one of the earliest computerized electrophysiology recording and analysis devices. At Coherent, he also lead a NASA funded project to develop a battery operated hand held 2-D ultrasound imaging device used
