I’m not here to become something.
I’m here to go somewhere.
Maybe you’ll come too.
Hello! I’m
SIDDH.
Welcome to The Whisper Inside.
This isn’t a portfolio. It’s a path carved in metal, ink, and meaning. Built, felt, and lived. Not to prove what I’ve done. But to share what’s possible when you follow the whisper inside. You’ll find stories — lived in the moment — and letters, written in hindsight, by someone who kept walking.
The NITK Story
2021-2024
No seniors. No blueprint.
Just belief, late nights, and robots that broke before they worked.
We failed. We stayed. We built again.
I didn’t just study here.
I built something that could outlive me.
We engineered the impossible — and left behind a legacy.
12 weeks. 11 countries.
One life I call my own.
Europe 2023
An Internship on Paper
This wasn’t just an internship. It was independence, earned — and lived.
I didn’t just return from Europe — I returned with a life I’d chosen.

The Scribble Series
2020-2021
one thing leads to another: it’s all entangled
we cannot see most of what is there
some rules cannot be broken
for truth is strange, stranger than fiction
when I think about how it all began
In the stillness of lockdown, when the world paused, my thoughts didn’t.
So, I let the chaos spill out. These five were born in the quiet.
Out of place, right at home

The Schoolkid at College Fests
I wasn’t supposed to be there—the youngest in the arena.
But that’s where I learned what it takes.

The First Door
2014
A science model. A mentor.
A ticket to NASA.
It wasn’t a school project — it was something I did outside of it. Not for marks, not for a medal. Just for the love of building.
At age 11, that love took me across the world. And showed me how far this path could go.
Where it all began
2013-2016
The World Robot Olympiad
I was 10 when I built my first robot — and won my first national.
The first time I knew I could. The beginning of who I’d become.
Coming soon: How it all started →
