Machines & Manufacturing

Designing and building CNCs, plasma cutters, motion systems and other hardware so small shops can do serious work, not just juggle quotations.

Ayurveda & Process Design

Building extraction, drying and weighing systems that make classical Ayurvedic formulations viable and affordable at scale.

Systems, Mind & Product

Thinking in systems, psychology and business together — products, processes and communities that are honest, not just aesthetic.

Education

2018 - 2023

BS-MS in Physics (with Data Science minor)

Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Bhopal.

2023 - Present

MBA & MA Psychology

MBA at DMS, IIT Delhi and MA Psychology (Counselling) in parallel. Learning how people, systems and numbers actually fit together.

Experiences

2023 - Present

Lead & Promoter, Kairos Bansal Pvt. Ltd.

Building fabrication, CNC and process capabilities in-house to make hardware more accessible, frugal and actually useful for real-world manufacturing.

2020 - Present

MD R&D, Shri Krishna Ayur Siddhi

Designing herbal extraction, drying and weighing systems, and working with classical Ayurvedic formulations to solve modern problems without faking “wellness”.

Interests

Current themes

Machines • Medicine • Mind

CNCs, process engineering, Ayurveda, psychology, and how all of these come together in actual businesses and communities.

Ongoing curiosities

Nature, stories & systems

Protecting the earth while still playing with big machines. Longform books, anime and films that change how I see agency, courage and systems.

References

Grounded in reality

Working hardware & healthier people

The best “reference” for my work is a running machine, a smoother process, or a patient who feels better on a formulation we trust.

What I optimise for

Honesty over aesthetics

I care more about things that actually work and respect nature than about looking impressive on slides, resumes or social feeds.

I build machines, systems and processes that live in the real world — from fabrication and energy to herbal medicine and community work.

Build Queue

A self-hosted fabrication stack: CNC plasma, universal CNC for metal/wood, and modular motion systems that can be reconfigured instead of replaced.

CNC Plasma & Universal CNC Shop

Status: Prototyping & learning by cutting real parts.

Better energy balance, easier cleaning and tighter control for herbal extracts — plus a small softgel prototype for serious formulations.

Vacuum Dryer v2 & Softgel Machine

Status: Design iterations and testing ideas in steel.

Permanent-magnet linear motors and planetary gearboxes tuned to specific loads and speeds, instead of buying black-box motion off the shelf.

Custom Linear Motor & Gearboxes

Status: Simulations, magnet layouts and control experiments.

Pushing solar concentrators and thermal design to replace fossil boilers for low/medium temperature process heat in small industry.

Solar Boiler Iterations

Status: Geometry, tracking concepts and process integration.

Scaling up cellulose waste to biogas and sugars so “waste” streams become fuel and feedstock instead of line items on a disposal bill.

Waste-to-Energy & Bioprocess

Status: Pilot-scale learnings, looking for the right next step.

FAQs

I work at the intersection of machines, medicine and mind: CNCs and fabrication, herbal extraction and process design, and the psychology/systems side of how people and organisations actually behave.

I lean towards problems that are real, physically grounded and a bit uncomfortable: expensive processes, wasteful systems, health issues where classical Ayurveda has something useful to offer, or gaps where no clean solution exists yet.

Possibly. I’m interested in collaborations where people are clear, honest and willing to do long, boring, real work. If your idea touches fabrication, herbal processing, mental health, or education, there’s a good chance I’ll at least be curious.

Yes, selectively. Especially if it involves designing or improving systems — production lines, processes, or mental-health / learning environments that need both structure and empathy.

“Impact” without respect for nature and people is just branding. I care about cutting waste, respecting biodiversity, and building things that last beyond hype cycles — even if they’re not the loudest projects in the room.
