Robert Kiosaki in his famous book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ quotes,
“Starting a business is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute. In mid air, the entrepreneur begins building a parachute and hopes it opens before hitting the ground.”
I could totally relate to this quote but when an entrepreneur is a passionate engineer, he ‘predicts’ that the parachute opens rather than hope. As a production engineer in Sweden, I could assimilate the state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies and convoy KOHA in delivering quintessential products.
KOHA is a long mission and will have an eternal place in the hearts of the people with its creative product line.

As an aerospace engineer, I firmly believe in developing products which are an amalgamation of engineering and imagination. During my stint as a research engineer at the University of Sydney, I have stumbled upon numerous such technologies that have more often than not, left me in awe. The creativity, innovation and the Engineering behind such products are unparalleled.
Most decorated Olympian of all time, Michael Phelps once quoted ‘Think Small to Accomplish Big Things’ and Koha is being built with those lines in mind.
Under the guidance of some of the finest scientists and engineers, we have envisioned Koha to be an innovator in curating exquisite user focused products with alluring design and mesmerizing functionality.

I am a scientist interested in understanding how complex tissue forms from a simple assembly of cells. Cells take cues and develop into multiple organs in our body. I decode the signals and understand the underlying principles to correct diseases or repair organs in the future. I obtained my doctorate in solving certain aspects of pancreas development from Lund University, in the southern tip of Sweden. I then continued to understand brain development at Technical University Dresden, Germany, a scenic place at the Polish and Czech Republic borders. Next, moving from academia to the Biotech industry and returning to India, I worked at Pandorum Technologies Private Limited, Bangalore, with my startup incubated in Bangalore.
Cells develop into tissues, organs, and eventually into animals or plants. In the same way, assembling pixels into structures and shapes ultimately grows into an animal or person or abstract art. So KOHAs idea of developing a product that transforms from the microstructure (pixel) to a macro (image) fascinated me. We can recreate an event or a memory by assembling pixels by pixels or tiny blocks by blocks, which is fascinating.
Further, I enjoy playing strategic board games and solving puzzles with friends and family. Therefore, assembling KOHA blocks to recreate a memorable moment will be a fun family activity.

With a doctor as my father to look upto, I have always been fascinated with the dedication & passion of health personnel which spurred me to become a doctor when the time came by. It is a profession that I absolutely love, though after constant interaction with patients it dawned on me that inspite of the technological advancements there are still a lot of medical issues that need to be effectively addressed. Hence I decided to pursue a profession in research and obtained my doctorate in biomaterials and tissue engineering where the focus is on looking at better alternatives that would mimic the structural and functional aspects of the native tissue. After a fruitful academic career, presently I have ventured into regenerative and translational medicine through PandorumTechnologies where we hope and strive to improve the quality of life of people deprived of vision. Apart from my professional expertise, I am a quizzer, sports fanatic and a movie buff and regularly pen my views about them.
Being a stickler for quality of work irrespective of what one embarks upon, Koha endeared to me as we are confident that the product that we provide is of pristine quality as we dont believe in shortcuts. What matters in life is honesty and a smile on our loved ones, and Koha ticks both the boxes in an emphatic manner.

Being a Biological Scientist by profession, my daily routine is to be driven by curiosity, hypotheses and experimentation. I graduated with a Masters in Biotechnology from Loyola College, Chennai and obtained my Ph.D in Neurobiology from Poland. Before joining Pandorum Technologies in 2019, I have been a Post-doctoral fellow in VIB-KU Leuven Belgium, dissecting how some of the normal biological processes happen within the body and What if that was halted. To be specific, I have been working on understanding how a particular group of immune cells in the brain react to ischemic stroke which occurs in the brain and How immune cells migrate from the blood circulation into the brain to mitigate the pathology. Apart from work, I love to cook , travel, brainstorm and make new connections.
According to me, gifting your loved one is one of the toughest tasks one would have faced. We spend hours and hours deciding and choosing the perfect one, on which your loved one would fall in love with. It is filled with emotions and memories, that’s when KOHAs concept amazed me, when you add a fun factor to gifting. In the digital world any image is a construction of tiny invisible pixels, what if one gets to see and assemble these pixels to construct a physical image on their wall. It sounds fun right?
