My name is Vijay Gonugade. I'm a graduate from the University of Mumbai with a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering. I have studied Electronics as a vocational course for two years as part of my +2 education. Apart from technical knowledge, I have gained a good understanding of the entrepreneurship through independent coursework on entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship.

In the recent past, I've worked as a Project Research Assistant at Technology and Development Solutions Cell, Centre for Technology Alternatives for Rural Areas, IIT Bombay and as a Coordinator for Life Lab. Previously, I have worked as an intern or volunteer with Mazagon Dock Ltd., Startling Solar Pvt. Ltd., Nimbkar Agricultural Research Institute and Experimentation Online.

As a student, I started an online platform called FledglingsBuzz.com where young entrepreneurs can share their stories - encouraging young Indian minds to choose the path of entrepreneurship.

In my free time, I enjoy cycling, astronomy and reading books.
