About

I enjoy starting up deep-tech ventures and running them. Into executive management, Technology & Business. From understanding market requirements, product ideation, to translating to business plans, ability to strategize, product marketing, organization building and product development. Tend to thrive in new and multi-disciplinary areas. At Zentron Labs, we have been building vision-robotics based products for Industrial Precision Gauging and Tech for agriculture post-harvest. We aim to be an innovative provider of deep-tech products from India for the world, through deep-tech products that embody inspiration from German engineering, Japanese quality, Swiss precision, and Indian Software. Passionate about serving the less fortunate, especially rural underserved, through the Sri Sathtya Sai Premaarpitham Foundation. We are envision a world where selfless love is at the core and periphery of all that we do. A humble service to humanity through grama seva (serving the villages), in the areas of nutrition for children, health-care, education and empowerment of rural women. At Silectric and Zoho, was part of the leadership team planning the next compound semiconductor fab in India.

Startup company focussed on computer-vision, we develop new technologies and apply existing methods to greatly facilitate the adoption of machine-vision in industrial applications. Developing countries need machine-vision to produce quality products, consistently and sizably, especially when catering to global markets. And the developed countries need advanced machine-vision to continue to retain production of their key products. Technology today allows machines to see the world nicely and accurately. This opens up many interesting possibilities into the future. And this is where we fit in.
