Hi, I'm Rochan. I'm building Newtrace to make gigascale green Hâ‚‚ production a reality.
I write here about the lessons I've learnt while building an R&D-heavy hardware startup.
Based out of Bangalore, India.

Why Join a Deeptech Hardware Startup?
Students have wider options than traditional core companies and IT giants. Hardware startups have changed the paradigm and brought core R&D to the Indian ecosystem, from semiconductors to green H2. For students this is a golden opportunity to build a career and domain expertise, critical in the coming AI era.
Green H2 is Critical for India's Energy Security (and Climate Goals)
Hydrogen is a critical feedstock gas for producing petrol to advanced semiconductors. Currently it is produced from imported natural gas, making it a severe energy security risk, given current geopolitical events. Green Hydrogen is the only solution but needs extensive policy support and funds to make it a viable replacement.
