My name is Arvind Maram, I am passionate about everything related to products and systems. Here’s a summary of my journey so far..

I started my career in the year 2000 as a Project Engineer at the National Aerospace Labs (NAL) in Bangalore. Since then, I have consistently been involved in Systems and Products development through various roles and across domains. My work has taken me to different countries, including Canada, the USA, and China.

Even after twenty years, I feel the same zeal I felt when I first started at NAL.
Throughout my career, I have gained valuable exposure to diverse perspectives on product development and Systems Engineering. I also like spending time mentoring newer generation of engineers and encouraging them to challenge the status quo.
