About.
🌱 Beginnings
Born and raised in Odisha, I was always fascinated by how technology could transform lives. My curiosity soon turned into action when I started experimenting with real-world coding projects during my college days.
🚀 Early Spark
At C.V. Raman College of Engineering, I led projects that won multiple awards. In 2017, I built a QR Code–based ePrescription system at IIT Delhi, winning the Smart India Hackathon. That same year, I received the AICTE Chhatra Vishwakarma Award — a milestone that fueled my passion for building impactful solutions.
👨💻 Startup Experiments
My entrepreneurial journey began as CTO at Grassion, followed by co-founding MODOKANO in Bhubaneswar. These early experiments taught me resilience, teamwork, and the true spirit of building startups from scratch.
🌍 Scaling Up
As a Senior Engineer at BigHit Sportz in Mumbai, I worked with large teams on mobile and web applications. Leading end-to-end systems and collaborating across design, product, and engineering sharpened my ability to scale ideas into products.
🎨 The Dream Project — Pixel Stitch
In 2020, I founded Pixel Stitch — a bold attempt to merge fashion design with Generative AI. We create personalized, cutting-edge styles for the digital age, pushing the boundaries of AI-driven creativity.
🏆 Recognition
Over the years, I have been honored with awards like the Smart India Hackathon Winner and the AICTE Vishwakarma Award. These recognitions remind me of the importance of solving meaningful problems through innovation.
🔮 The Road Ahead
I believe the future lies at the intersection of AI, creativity, and personalization. I'm looking forward to collaborating with designers, investors, and technologists who share the dream of transforming industries through innovation.
