Hi, I'm Siddharth.
I'm 12, and I'm building things.
A kid from Bangalore who loves aircraft, chess, badminton and Harry Potter — and who thinks AI can quietly fix a lot of everyday problems in Bharat.
Curious kid, blueprint brain.
I'm Siddharth — friends call me Appu — twelve years old, from Bangalore. I love figuring out how things work, especially aircraft (why does lift even happen?), chess openings, and the small, quiet magic of a good Harry Potter chapter. I teach whenever I can, because explaining something is the best way to actually understand it.
Things I nerd out about.
A short list of the stuff I read, play, watch and try to teach.
Flying & Aircraft
How lift, drag and thrust actually work. Paper planes, model kits, cockpit videos on repeat.
Chess
Openings, middlegame tactics, endgame studies. Currently obsessed with the London and the Caro-Kann.
Badminton
Weekend smashes and drop shots. Working on my backhand clear so it stops embarrassing me.
Harry Potter
Ravenclaw energy. Re-reading the series for the nth time — Prisoner of Azkaban still wins.
Teaching
Explaining aerodynamics, chess ideas and small science tricks to whoever will listen — mostly cousins.
Things I'm building.
Small AI tools for real problems in India. Each one starts with something I saw at home or in my neighbourhood.
FormSaathi
Fill any Indian government form — in your own language, with a friend.
KrishiScan
Photograph a sick leaf. Get a diagnosis and a plan — before the crop is gone.
BusBuddy
Bangalore buses, live and readable — for people who don't want to squint at an app.
PathshalaAI
Any textbook, any language, any kid. Learning shouldn't need translation homework.
DoctorSetu
That prescription your doctor scribbled? Here's what it actually says.
ShopSmart
Kirana inventory over WhatsApp — no app to install, no touchscreen to fight.
AI for Bharat.
Small tools, real problems.
I want to use AI to help with the ordinary stuff — the messy, everyday problems that Indians run into but nobody makes an app for. Not big flashy things. Small, useful, kind tools that actually work in Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, and the way people really talk.
- → 01 Helping grandparents navigate government forms and services
- → 02 Translating school material into a kid's own language
- → 03 Turning long PDFs and notices into simple, one-page answers
- → 04 Small tools for local shops, tutors, and neighbourhood problems
