Intro - About Myself - Mehar

Hi, Mehar here from TinkerHub is my most common way of introducing myself. That's my public identity these days. I see work as an extension of who am I, even though this is a personal space you could find a lot of things around the domain I work.

I tried to be unique or at least not to fit in the systems. I never find doing anything that anyone else can do as an interesting thing, maybe I'm an original thinker I used to feel at times. I tried to do things that interest me at all points of my life. One lead to another. Organising FOSS events to College Tech Fest to world's largest web maker party - Maker Party Kochi during college days.

Build apps for Blackberry app world. Bagged some awards limited Edition phones and a decent amount through selling paid apps on store. This happened while I was in third year. Financially independent from that time onwards, made a series of tweets about that recently. Check out the Deccan Chronicle article about my startup life.

I was running Incubators and Accelerators as part of the Kerala Startup Mission (KSUM). Resigned after 3 years with KSUM and moved full time with TinkerHub Foundation in the mid of 2018.

Technology Innovation Fellowship program by Kerala Startup Mission, Kairos Fellowship for young startup entrepreneurs, Global Youth Forum, Global Cooperative Entrepreneurship (Mentor) are some of the programs I was part of. Headstart Network to support startup entrepreneurs is my major volunteering experience.
