One question, carried for a decade
I studied electronics at IIT (BHU) and graduated in 2017. All through college I kept asking one question: why is it that we don't make our own computers from scratch in India?
I took a software job to learn the other half: the full software stack, and how the world's huge computing systems operate. The question did not go away.
So I quit to go and find the answer. At the RISE Lab at IIT Madras, working with Prof. V. Kamakoti, I saw first-hand what it takes to build a semiconductor chip and how the hurdles are cleared.
Today, at Drutam, I am watching the world's newest needs in compute and choosing the path that lands at the right time. We are building compute for an AI-native, post-quantum world.
