Four windows into my world.
From the studio
Notes, ideas, and things worth a closer look.
A new chapter
The thinking behind Voltron Lattice: manufacturing capability, original technology, and the people who make both possible.
Explore the strategyFlute & Forge
Somewhere between a word and a thought,a little door was left unlocked.A poem wandered in,a painting followed,and two strangers from different centuriesfound something to talk about.Nobody asked for an answer.Nobody knew where the story would go.And perhaps that was the lovely part.Welcome to The Living Studio.
A note on the name
The flute gives breath a voice. The forge gives an idea a form.
One speaks to the artist in me: curiosity, expression, affection, and a little mischief. The other speaks to the engineer: structure, patience, and the work of making something real.
They meet more often than you might think. A painting needs discipline. A system needs imagination. Both ask for attention—and a willingness to begin again.
Flute & Forge is a home for that conversation: between making and wondering, thoughtful work and the freedom to play.
The name arrived before the flute lessons.
Work, life & perspective
Engineering, exploration, and a purpose taking shape.
2010–2015
IIT Madras
My BTech and MTech years laid the foundation for thinking across engineering disciplines. My research on hybrid-electric vehicle controls received the Best Dual Degree Project award in Mechatronics.
September 2015–December 2018
Tata Motors
At Tata Motors’ Engineering Research Centre, I worked on automotive development, bringing ideas into the realities of physical products. This chapter strengthened my understanding of engineering trade-offs, interconnected systems, and execution.
December 2018–September 2024
Philips
At Philips, my work expanded across complete product development and leadership—connecting disciplines, coordinating teams, and carrying ideas through to delivery. I learned to consider the product, its development process, and the people building it as one connected system.
A period of exploration
Personal Development & Exploration
I made space for philosophy, spirituality, and the exploration of consciousness, alongside art and writing. This chapter broadened how I think about human experience, creativity, and purpose—and what deserves our time and effort.
March 2026–Present
Founder, Voltron Lattice
Today, I’m bringing these experiences together through Voltron Lattice, with a vision to help build India’s intelligent manufacturing backbone. The work connects engineering, digital systems, AI, and human capability to strengthen how manufacturing operates and grows.
The person behind the studio
An engineer by training, a strategist at work, an artist when something asks to become a painting. Sometimes a writer. Often a traveller. Occasionally, all of them in the same afternoon.
