Hi, I'm Kahaan, a Grade 10 student at Don Bosco International School, Mumbai. I enjoy building things, whether it's a robot, a lamp from IKEA, or something I've designed from scratch.
Robotics has been a big part of my life since I got into LEGO Mindstorms after lockdown, growing into five years across WRO, WSRO, and FTC: 5 FTC awards across 3 seasons, 2 national podiums. I co-founded Hichka with my sister, a sustainable apparel venture, and serve as Prefect of Science and Technology at school.
Outside of that, I enjoy reading, video games, and chess.
Five years across WRO, WSRO, and FTC, starting with LEGO Mindstorms post-lockdown. Most recently team captain of Boss Botix #33829, the first FTC team in Don Bosco's history.
Everything below has been used in a real build. Levels are honest.
Air quality monitors are too spread out to catch localised pollution spikes. During the Maker's Asylum Goa residency, our team built a network of low-cost sensors that maps air quality in real time across an area and streams the data to a live dashboard.
My role: PCB design, electronics and wiring, CAD for the enclosures, and IoT for data transmission.
Hichka supplies R-PET t-shirts (made from recycled plastic bottles) to grassroots cricket tournaments, with a circular model where shirts are collected back after use. Founded with my sister, who leads the sustainability and business side.
My role: building and managing the website and online presence.
Atlas is a smart urban tree risk monitoring system built for the BIS STEMathon. Cities lose trees to preventable falls. Atlas addresses this with three connected components: IoT sensors measuring tilt, vibration, and soil moisture in real time, an AI tool that assesses tree health and fall risk from a photograph using Google Gemini vision, and a web dashboard that registers trees, stores dated assessments, and flags urgent cases for inspection.
My role: team captain of a 5-person team. Built the web dashboard and AI backend.
Open to robotics collaborations, mentorship, and interesting problems.
