Hi, I'm Ayush.

Engineer by training, product manager by trade, and curious about how things actually work.

The short version

I trained as a mechanical engineer, which taught me to think in systems: forces, tolerances, and the parts that fail when you ignore them. An MBA in product, technology and strategy at IIT Jodhpur then pulled me towards the question I still care about most: how does a good idea become something people actually use?

That curiosity keeps pulling me towards the layers underneath. What is inside the modem in a truck? Who designs the chip, who makes it, and why does it take half the planet to do it? Telecom, semiconductors, AI and mobility are the infrastructure most people never see, and I want to understand them well enough to explain them simply.

This site is where I think out loud. Some posts are deep dives, some are opinions, and a few are notes to my future self. If something here sparks a thought, I'd love to hear it.

Off the clock

Formula 1, chess and long journeys.
