My Story
10 min Read
Growing up in a middle-class family with limited financial resources, I became aware of the challenges and struggles that my family faced due to financial instability during my 10th grade. I started to become more mindful of my expenses and learned to be efficient with my money in order to support my studies. This experience had a profound impact on me and taught me valuable lessons about the importance of financial stability.
At the same time, I was very passionate about electronics and wanted to build my own projects, but this required financial assistance. Even though my father always tried to give me the best he could, I was aware of our financial situation and began working part-time jobs after my studies in the evenings and on weekends to earn some extra money. This allowed me to buy the materials I needed for my DIY projects while in my 11th grade. I am very grateful to my brother/tutor, Ramesh, who helped me understand the realities of life and how to navigate challenges at a young age. He guided me in finding part-time jobs and also mentored me in my DIY electronics projects.
I always enjoyed staying at my brother's home because I had access to his computer and could browse the internet. My brother is an expert at repairing mobile phones, and observing him work sparked my interest in electronics even more. One day in November 2014, while browsing on my brother's computer, I came across a video of a 7805-based mobile charger circuit using a 9V battery. I carefully watched the video and the next day, I bought the necessary components and soldered them onto a perfboard. To my surprise, when I connected the battery and USB cable, nothing exploded and the mobile started charging. It was an amazing moment for me and I was so excited that I showed the project to all my parents and friends, who praised me for it. That's when I learned about datasheets and started looking into them with the help of my brother. This experience fueled my curiosity to explore more circuits and made it a source of fun for me. That excitement created some positivity to try and explore more and more circuits and I've adapted to that as a source of my fun in the pattern of
"Find a circuit - > Buy Components - > Solder them - > Debug the misconnections(if) - >Enjoy the output and Repeat"
During my free time, I often spent many sleepless nights in my brother's room, using a cheap soldering iron to prototype circuits that piqued my curiosity. At one point, I even installed a home automation system in my brother's room, which was my first live project. While there were some initial challenges, I was able to overcome them and the system has been working perfectly ever since. It gives me a sense of pride to see my brother using it. (Kind of a proud feeling when my brother uses it 😎).
"I can't even begin to describe the excitement I feel when a circuit works perfectly on the first try. Those moments are truly enjoyable for me."
I've continued to pursue my passion for electronics even after starting my bachelor's degree, with the help of my seniors - Samson, Bharat, and Mallesh - and my mentor, Pradeep sir. He has been a constant source of support and guidance throughout my college journey, and has helped me get involved in some really interesting projects in the robotics lab. I've also had the opportunity to publish research papers under his guidance. I'm sure my learning curve would have been much steeper if it weren't for their support.
In my 3rd semester, I attempted an exam for an Internship in an Electronics Manufacturing Company and qualified for the Internship. It's a 6month Internship and the CEO of the company actually impressed me with my skills on par with their R&D Engineers and offered me a Full-time Job with Salary. It was a very exciting moment for me as I got an opportunity to work and earn in my 5th semester itself. Along with actively participating in Indiaskills, College Fests, Competitions, I started working for the Company by designing the LEDs boards, and DC DC Drivers with the encouragement of the CEO. I tried my best to manage my academics and Work also uncompromising in the Fun with friends, I gained a great Industrial experience in product development life cycle and manufacturing life cycle before my graduation.
Facing financial Instability, that job really helped me to fund my studies and other extra expenses that I had in my college days.
I just don't want to lose any opportunity which can benefit me at any cost.
Having a sustainable knowledge in Home automation also installed my handmade Home automation devices in tens of Houses around, I stopped at some point to think about initializing a startup and branding the devices under the name. Not being completely aware of the financial dealings that need to be done in India for a startup, the idea quickly faded out as I can't find a sponsor too.
It's around 2020 March and COVID Started to prevail enormously, locked in a situation that I can't leave my hometown as of near, Among the companies that I've already Interviewed by, One company - "Eruvaka Technologies" is of my hometown and It's a startup company, So I've joined in that company and was exposed to some different work environment. The CEO and Founder of Company at that time was - "Mr. Sreeram Raavi", who is Hardworking person and a one who actually looks forward to solve a real time problem with his Intelligence. He believes in R&D and encourages us to upskill ourselves irrespective of company work, also engages with us for an accelerated product development approach. It feels really great to be guided by him as he's a down to earth person, and his approach towards some problem is always straightforward one which is always some inspirational to me.
In same environment, I met two other persons - "Mr. Sumanth Kavuri" and "Ms. Twisha Upadhyay" who are CTO and Strategy Manager designated respectively. Working under their guidance helped me understand how the process actually works in organization and how to deal with upcoming problems with a very cool attitude and a smile on face. That really boosted my confidence up where I've been some time arrogant in some situations, but after interacting with them I understood how to be assertive in possible situations.
I learned to hold my nerves when I face a problem and deal with smiles and positivity through them.
In 2020 October, one fine morning, while everything was going great and I'm playing GTA-V, suddenly my laptop turned off. I tried my best to turn it on but I failed to do and I can't see any light or response from it. I took it to nearby official service center, they disassembled and looked into it and they came with a quotation of around 780USD to repair it as the mother board was burnt, and the Asus Gaming laptop itself costs around 1150 USD. I'm confused and I took it to a famous shop in local and they've tried their best for a week and gave up.
Out of confusion I disassembled the laptop and had a look at the burnt part of the motherboard, I quickly recognized that the MOSFETs are burnt. Feeling happy for that I ordered new parts and soldered them after receiving them, as usual, the new MOSFETs also burned up again, and then I realized that there was is Short circuit on the motherboard. I found the bad capacitor which was creating the short circuit and replaced it with a new Cap and MOSFET. To my surprise, the laptop turned on as normal booting does and It's like The feeling of delight when your method works as expected has paved the way toward a sense of satisfaction. I've saved 780 USD which feels great to me.
With that confidence, I thought like why I can't repair Electronics like Mobiles/Tablets/Laptops and all electronics that were actually rejected by the Official Service Center. Then I set up a Workbench in my home which Includes the equipment needed and started repairing electronics. I've repaired around 11 Laptops and 3 GPUs and also a Flagship ASUS ROG Strix series laptop who were actually requested to replace their motherboards in most cases.
I'm actually enjoying these by applying the Knowledge, I've in Electronics and Finding Happiness in debugging them thereby making the machine alive with my hands.
