Hi, I'm Dhairya Pandya. I love making stuff and learning about new things.
ISRA
So, when I came across BPS Space, I instantly knew I needed to build model rockets like that. But I was a 10th grader in a city like Anand, with no established rocketry clubs. I knew I couldn't do it alone, so I assembled a small team with my friends, and after a bit of talking and convincing, we managed to secure ₹1.3 lakh of funding from the Charutar Vidya Mandal in September 2024. Since then, we've kept building, failing and iterating.

Jeevartan
When we cofounded Jeevartan, it was run entirely by me and my 5 friends, every operation and every task. Since then I've had the distinct privilege of seeing it grow into something truly bigger than any of us. Today, Jeevartan is run by a team of dedicated students who are just as passionate as we were, if not more. I've had the pleasure of mentoring my juniors, who are taking up leadership positions and carrying the foundation to heights we original founders never could.
