Nikhil (Nik) Bhaskaran
“ I will help TroubleMaker and the community bring more hardware products to market by bringing in connections and technical resources. ”
I firmly believe that communities are and will play an even larger role in our world. The world will operate through many communities, created for various causes and funded by newer business models, from non-profits to web3 tokens/DAOs and everything in between.
Why Am I Qualified To Do This Work?
More than a decade of Shenzhen experience in core electronics, from design to production, has given me rare insights into the world supply chain, manufacturing, and electronics product development.
I have built communities in Shenzhen for Startup Weekend and Mozilla. And now I am building the IoTIoT community in India, empowering promising students in IoT, AI, and ML.
I only do what I love so you will find me very passionately pitching things but it is because I am only in those activities where I find a strong purpose or connect.
I am looking forward to connect with as many people as possible because I strongly believe diversity in perspectives leads to growth. And it would be my pleasure if I can be of help and share some of what I have learnt so far.
