I build the things I wanted to exist. A council that turns students into leaders, and a platform that makes physics something you can handle rather than memorise.

02About

First a platform, then a council.

I built SciPhyLabs in 2023. Physics is taught as a wall of formulas to be memorised, which is exactly backwards — you understand a system by changing it and watching what happens. So I built somewhere you can do that, aimed at the students sitting JEE, NEET, AP, SAT and CUET.

Working on it taught me something the platform couldn't fix on its own. The students I met weren't short of ability, and they weren't short of ambition. They were short of structure — someone to hand them a project, a mentor, and a stage, and then expect something of them.

So in 2026 I founded the Peacemakers of Puducherry Council. It is deliberately non-partisan, works through six pillars, and runs three programmes. Its measure is simple: can a student who walks in with an idea walk out having actually done it, in front of people.

The council is new, and I would rather it be judged on what it ships than on how it describes itself.

Most physics teaching hands you a diagram and a formula and asks you to trust both. SciPhyLabs hands you the system itself — change a value, watch it respond, and build the intuition that makes the formula obvious afterwards.

  • 01Simulations you manipulate in real time, built for understanding rather than recall
  • 02Coverage aligned to JEE, NEET, AP, SAT and CUET syllabi
  • 03Formulas, derivations and notes tied to the system they describe
  • 04Progress tracking that rewards consistent, self-directed practice
