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. I also co-founded Hichka with my family and I'm working on GameBridge, a robotics programme for kids in government schools.
Outside of that, I enjoy reading, video games, and chess. I've competed in maths since Class I, most recently getting Rank 22 at SASMO. I hold a Grade 5 Distinction from Trinity College London and serve as Prefect of Science and Technology at school.
Five years across WRO, WSRO, and FTC, starting with LEGO Mindstorms post-lockdown. Most recently team captain of Boss Botix #33829 in the FTC India 2025-26 season.

Government air quality monitors are too spread out to catch localised pollution, so we made something smaller and denser. I learned soldering, PCB design, electronics and wiring, CAD for the enclosures, and IoT for getting the data to a live dashboard. It was the first time I built something open-ended with no rulebook, just a problem and a bunch of components.
Hichka started as a family brainstorming session with my sister, my parents, and me. My sister leads it, driven by her interest in sustainability. The idea was to supply R-PET t-shirts (made from recycled plastic bottles) to grassroots cricket tournaments, with a circular model where the shirts come back at the end. I've been involved in building the website and online presence.
My parents and I got thinking about how to share what I've learned in robotics with kids who don't have access to it. GameBridge is a robotics teaching programme for kids in government schools, paired with a gamified take-home kit. Phase 1 is in-person: kids build, wire, and program a working robot from scratch. Phase 2 is a take-home kit with components, quests, and challenges so they keep going after the sessions. Currently in development.
