How did your interest in robotics start?
When I was in Class VI, my school introduced programming to us. It was very basic so I wasn’t satisfied. I went home, browsed about it and slowly started developing an interest in technology. I got into robotics, and tried building things on my own.
Tell us about your online video channel Tech Nuttiez.
When I was building things, I realised I could demonstrate my work to people in my age group. When I was in Class VII, I started my YouTube channel Tech Nuttiez. I got good support from viewers; I have over 100K viewers for my channel. I also put up DIY (Do-It-Yourself) projects and tutorials.
You also write articles. Could you tell us about that?
The website Instructables is a platform for creators such as me. When I make a video, I parallelly create a written form of the same, and those go into Instructables. I have 200K views there.
What are the challenges you have faced?
Coping with studies is the biggest challenge I’ve ever faced. You need to do everything the others are doing, and you also have to do something unique. Managing is a difficult task.
How did you overcome these challenges?
You have to set your priorities right. Of course, your passion is really important, but you can’t give up on studies because that is also very important. You just have to focus on both equally. We have a lot of time on our hands. We better not waste it.
Do you think that in a few decades the world will completely turn online?
Yes, I feel that the world will become much more advanced because we have grown positively on an exponential rate from what we were about 50 years ago. And, the change will get faster and better.
Do you prefer online classes over on-campus classes?
Obviously on-campus classes were better, but with online classes, people have so much time on their hands to do what they love. If you can cope with online classes, then they are better.
What are your other interests?
Gaming is another thing I love. I am trying to be a good reader. I love playing football.
Who is your source of inspiration?
In technology, there are many giants, such as Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerburg, Bill Gates. These people built their empire from a young age. When you have a passion, why wait to follow it when you can do it now?
What are your future plans?
I love content creation on technology. I do that already, and I want to continue that. I want to make technology a part of my living. I am not sure what sort of technology, but technology is going to be my life. Maybe app-building or robotics. I want to create a tech start-up.
