MY JOURNEY FROM CLASSROOM TO NASA TO VLSI

I’m a Christian by faith and by THE GRACE OF GOD I am what I am. (1 Corinthians 15:10)

Some Stories don’t begin in fancy labs or tech companies – they start with questions.

As a curious engineering student, I often found myself asking:
“What lies beyond the textbook?”
That question led me to write a physics research paper in my pre-final year, titled “Physics of the Fastest Communication,” which was later published in the Pramana – Journal of Physics by the Indian Academy of Sciences. In my final year of B-Tech (ECE), I presented a research poster titled “An electromagnetic force field based astronaut rescue system” at the 18th Humans In Space Symposium (HIS) hosted by International Academy of Astronautics and NASA held in the United States. Standing among researchers from around the world sparked a belief in me: 

 “Students from India can stand shoulder – to – shoulder with the best – if given right mentorship & tools.”

FROM LEARNER TO INDUSTRY PROFESSIONAL

After graduating, I entered the VLSI industry — working with global leaders like Agilent, Xilinx & AMD I gained hands-on experience in many aspects of Digital Design, RTL Simulation and FPGA Tool Flows and saw how real chips are made. But something was missing… I realized that most engineering students in India don’t get to see the industry side of what they learn. That’s why I started RTL LABS – to help students gain confidence, understand VLSI industry expectations and build skills that actually matter. 

Are You feeling that You know the basics but not enough and don’t know what VLSI companies expect in the interview and beyond and because of all these factors You feel left behind. If YES, then let me tell you something that You are not left behind, you are just not guided the right way.

I understand that as an engineering student, you have already invested lakhs of rupees into your B-Tech degree. And after that, being asked to spend lakhs of rupees again to pursue the courses related to RTL Integration and Protocols can feel overwhelming especially when you are still trying to build your career. So, when I built RTL LABS, I made a conscious decision – To offer premium VLSI education – intentionally priced to be accessible for serious students.

Along with teaching VLSI Courses Online through RTL LABS, I also conduct Guest Lectures, Workshops & Technical Sessions at Engineering Colleges.
