Niraj Ojha · Ahmedabad, India
I turn ideas into products— and build the businesses behind them.
I’m a multidisciplinary engineer, founder, and product builder working across electronics, automotive engineering, manufacturing, software, and AI. I connect technical decisions with product thinking and the practical work of running a business.

Curiosity came first. Responsibility followed.
My path has taken me from early experiments with technology to engineering competitions, industrial R&D, and building businesses. Along the way, I’ve learned to lead teams, support other founders, and work across disciplines when a problem calls for it.
I still enjoy getting close to the work. Understanding how something functions—and how to make it useful—is what keeps me interested.
Recognition
Building, leading, and helping others move forward.
My journey includes a Gujarat-level Science Fair win, consecutive ETWDC team victories, and the Gaurav Puraskar. I also served as a Cyber Expert for the Gujarat Government in 2020, began independent business advisory work in 2024, and became a mentor at iHub in 2025.
