Ashish at Techkriti 2003, IIT Kanpur — a voice-controlled autonomous robot. The Drishti era.
The problem
Engineering students learn theory but rarely get to build — to fail, iterate and ship real hardware as a team.
What I built
I founded Drishti in 2002 at NIT Surat — a technical organization that gives students a real-time, hands-on opportunity to build: robotics for ABU Robocon, the Indian Rover Challenge, Boeing aeromodelling, computer-vision / ML projects, exoskeletons, and a steady stream of workshops and seminars.
The outcome
Still thriving 20+ years later, run by students across successive batches, competing nationally and internationally. A self-sustaining institution now.
Why it works
The best thing you can build is something that outlives you. Drishti has run on its own for two decades, encouraging curious minds to build hands-on, as a team.

The team today.
