Siddharth Bhatter
12 years of circuits, classrooms, and companies.
I started with a soldering iron and a question: why is it so hard to make things in India?
Eleven years later, I'm still answering it - one product, one lab, one engineer at a time.
I hold an M.Tech in Embedded Systems from BITS Pilani. I've designed IoT systems that run on factory floors, shipped hardware products to real customers, and trained engineers at IITs, IISc, and IIITs across the country. I've been IBM's Subject Matter Expert for IoT and AI/ML for four years. I'm a Microsoft Certified Innovative Educator, a Microchip Master Trainer, and a Springer-published researcher.
But the thing I'm most serious about is building. I founded Karkhana Hub to fix how India accesses machines. I founded Karkhana Makerspace to fix how India's institutions teach making. And I'm still deep in the lab - currently developing a medical device, consulting on industrial IoT, and mentoring startups that are trying to build something real.
I don't just talk about hardware. I ship it.
MY STRENGHTS
Systemic
I see the full picture - from component to company, from schematic to market.
Precision
I build things that work exactly as designed - no loose ends in firmware, products, or proposals.
Assertive
I know what I'm talking about and I back it. No hedging, no hand-holding.
Relentless
I don't stop at prototype. I train, I ship, I found, I publish - all at once.

TESTIMONIALS
Sasha Grey
Fashion Weekly Editor
Julian has been our ace card for a while now – he's dependable, always delivering his work on time. The quality of his work is of such high standard that we often don't need too many layers of edits to get the first draft into the published version. He helps us cover meaningful stories with a distinct voice, while also working as a team player. If you're looking for a quality writer, Julian's one I'd vouch for.
Martha Smith
World Politics Editor
Julian is one of those writers who are able to distinguish their own voice throughout any piece of work, without losing the soul of the publication itself. He's able to pick up on some of the finer nuances of the political climate and express them in words that are easy to comprehend and digest by many audiences. He's a delight to work with, and such a nice person, too.
