From a Jio Phone to Innovation

Every great journey begins with curiosity. Mine began with a 2.4-inch screen and an unstoppable desire to learn.

The Jio Phone Era

It all started with a Jio featured phone. While others played games, I watched LMES, Engineering Facts, Mr GK, Visaipalagai, and ElectroBoom — building a foundation in science and technology through pure curiosity.

Corona Catalyst

When COVID-19 locked down the world, I unlocked new possibilities. With a smartphone and online Python interpreters, I taught myself programming — turning a global crisis into my personal classroom.

The Breakthrough Moment

In 9th grade, my class teacher Mr. Suresh asked about my hobby. "Programming," I said, "and I'm planning to build a robot." That simple conversation changed the trajectory of my life forever.

Building the Dream

Mr. Thomas Pusharaj, my maths teacher, believed in me enough to invest ₹5,000 from his own pocket — no questions, no conditions. With that faith and funding, Megalos was born — a multi-language speaking robot that put me on the map.
