👋🏼 Hi, I’m Srijan,
a Creative Technologist based in India.
After all these years of trying to fit what I do in a box, I’m finally trying to embrace all the different things I like to do, so for now, Creative Technologist is possibly the best way to describe it.
In a nutshell though, I love making things.
I’m currently working on Attis, a preventive healthcare system for everything related to your health outside of a clinical setting.
In the recent past, I spent time building Pause, a Mental Health Platform & Project Mynt, an agency that builds technology enabled learning products, primarily in the Public Health Sector.
The first 15 years of my adult life were spent as a musician, playing drums at thousands of concerts around the world with bands like Parikrama, Shubha Mudgal, Half Step Down, Cyanide & FuzzCulture. I also ran a music studio in Delhi & Bombay called Studio Fuzz & made music for various films & commercials, including MCream.
In my free time, I like making photographs, riding motorcycles & petting animals of all kinds (my favourites are dogs, pigs & elephants tho).
I try to write about things that I’m curious about as often as I can. You can sign up using the button below or read some of my posts first.

Music 🥁
In case you’d like to dive a little deeper into my journey as a musician, you can continue reading here. If you just want to see some photographs from my years as a musician, I’ve added them below. They might give you an interesting glimpse into tour life & the Indian Indie scene when it was just coming up. Here you go.
Photographs 📸
In 2016, I wanted to learn how to make better photographs. So I gave myself the challenge of posting 1 photo a day on Instagram & Facebook, which forced me to go out & shoot every day. Here are some of my favourite photographs from the few years I spent learning how to make images that meant something to me.
If you’d like prints of any images, please send me an email & I’d be happy to send them to you.

I love meeting interesting people who’re building interesting things. If there’s anything I can do for you, I’d be happy to help.
