I am based in the historic city of Udaipur, Rajasthan, India. I am fully available for domestic keynotes across major Indian tech hubs like Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, and Jaipur, as well as international travel, having previously managed cross-border logistics across Southeast Asia, including Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Booking inquiries can be initiated directly through the integrated communication portal on my contact page or my calendar scheduler link. My team triages all incoming inquiries within 24 hours. For international committees, we provide flexible scheduling across global time zones (IST, SGT, CET) to coordinate alignment calls and staging logistics seamlessly.

Because my keynotes feature high-frame-rate robotic simulation videos and detailed architectural diagrams, a stable HDMI connection to a high-definition screen or LED wall is preferred. For audio, a wireless lapel or headset microphone is ideal to allow freedom of movement. I can also coordinate specific localized requirements with your AV team prior to the event.

I am a deep-tech entrepreneur specializing in embodied artificial intelligence and humanoid robotics. As the founder of Robosa and Yantrarora Innovation Private Limited, I spearhead ventures focused on technical design, hardware localization, and advanced motion control systems. My work involves bridging the gap between digital AI models and physical machine dexterity.

My primary sessions are framed around three specialized pillars: The Agentic Shift (Autonomous Proxies vs. Chatbots), Physical AI & The Dawn of Indigenous Humanoid Robotics, and Storytelling for Deep-Tech Founders. Each talk is designed to offer a realistic, first-principles look at how AI is physically reshaping our world.

Absolutely. My signature approach involves bridging complex deep-tech concepts with human-centric narratives. Drawing on my background as a storyteller and President of the Udaipur Toastmasters Club, I ensure that executive leaders, HR teams, and sales departments remain completely engaged while grasping the high-level impact of these innovations.

Yes. I share practical insights based on my direct experience navigating competitive national frameworks, including the Anusandhan National Research Foundation (ANRF) and the Startup India Seed Fund (SISF). I help founders understand how to optimize their technical value propositions for seed funding and venture grants.

I offer dedicated masterclasses rooted in my experience winning over 25 major hackathons. This includes my “Pitching with Panache” framework and curated resource libraries designed to help developers bypass bottlenecks and build proof-of-concepts at speed.

Yes, I frequently judge pitch decks and mentor students using a programmatic, data-backed rubric. My evaluations focus on core engineering logic and proof-of-concept viability rather than visionary fluff, helping student teams build clear execution pathways for their innovations.
