Mentioned - British Council Report - 2025
During COVID, I found myself back home in Rajasthan, like everyone else— scrolling, surviving, and questioning my life choices. Along with cooking Instagram recipes, I started teaching at a local government school. That small volunteer effort snowballed into Kalpana Innovation Lab— a space exclusively for girls from the govt. schools with a library, a makerspace, 3D printing, robotics, and a computer lab.
We had girls from marginalized communities learning alongside theater artists, technologist, scientists, and whoever else wandered in (physically or digitally). It was a safe space where kids could dream bigger, build cooler things, and access the tools they needed to break out of systemic limitations. The lab isn’t active anymore, but its spirit is still out there— somewhere, probably building something cool.

Public Disclosure of CCTV system security flaws
Public Disclosure of CCTV system security flaws
National Front Page - Dainik Bhaskar 2014
🚨 Developed after years in Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking
The founder of Curiouswala Studio began his career as a security researcher, specializing in building and detecting computer viruses. In 2012, he published a white paper demonstrating a method to bypass all antivirus systems with just 12 lines of code. This led to the development of Syringe, a tool still used by security researchers worldwide in Kali Linux OS, even after 14 years.
In 2014, he uncovered critical vulnerabilities in CCTV networks, revealing how millions of private cameras could be accessed using a simple tool. Through responsible disclosure, these findings helped improve public security. Over the next five years, he collaborated with companies and government institutions to strengthen cybersecurity infrastructure, eventually contributing to the Government of India’s official guidelines for women’s digital safety.
Beyond research, Curiouswala Studio has worked with multiple companies, organizations, and universities, conducting workshops and training programs. From teaching cybersecurity at institutions across the country to mentoring thousands of students, the team has been dedicated to equipping individuals with the skills to navigate and defend against digital threats. This course brings together years of research, ethical hacking, and advocacy to empower participants with essential cybersecurity knowledge.

Kota, Rajasthan - 2022-23
Mentioned - British Council Report - 2025
During COVID, I found myself back home in Rajasthan, like everyone else— scrolling, surviving, and questioning my life choices. Along with cooking Instagram recipes, I started teaching at a local government school. That small volunteer effort snowballed into Kalpana Innovation Lab— a space exclusively for girls from the govt. schools with a library, a makerspace, 3D printing, robotics, and a computer lab.
We had girls from marginalized communities learning alongside theater artists, technologist, scientists, and whoever else wandered in (physically or digitally). It was a safe space where kids could dream bigger, build cooler things, and access the tools they needed to break out of systemic limitations. The lab isn’t active anymore, but its spirit is still out there— somewhere, probably building something cool.

🚨 Developed after years in Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking
The founder of Curiouswala Studio began his career as a security researcher, specializing in building and detecting computer viruses. In 2012, he published a white paper demonstrating a method to bypass all antivirus systems with just 12 lines of code. This led to the development of Syringe, a tool still used by security researchers worldwide in Kali Linux OS, even after 14 years.
In 2014, he uncovered critical vulnerabilities in CCTV networks, revealing how millions of private cameras could be accessed using a simple tool. Through responsible disclosure, these findings helped improve public security. Over the next five years, he collaborated with companies and government institutions to strengthen cybersecurity infrastructure, eventually contributing to the Government of India’s official guidelines for women’s digital safety.
Beyond research, Curiouswala Studio has worked with multiple companies, organizations, and universities, conducting workshops and training programs. From teaching cybersecurity at institutions across the country to mentoring thousands of students, the team has been dedicated to equipping individuals with the skills to navigate and defend against digital threats. This course brings together years of research, ethical hacking, and advocacy to empower participants with essential cybersecurity knowledge.

Garden of Waste
Month-long studio
SMI Bangalore campus
Students built interactive installations from waste and surplus materials—cardboard, scrap, salvaged parts—so the work stayed cheap to make and impossible to treat like precious gallery furniture. The through-line was art for the 99%: accessible, affordable, and alive in the room. This is their final exhibition; the installation is still up on campus as a permanent piece.

Kota, Rajasthan — government school girls’ innovation lab
During COVID, I found myself back home in Rajasthan, like everyone else—scrolling, surviving, and questioning my life choices. Along with cooking Instagram recipes, I started teaching at a local government school. That small volunteer effort snowballed into Kalpana Innovation Lab—a space exclusively for girls from the govt. schools with a library, a makerspace, 3D printing, robotics, and a computer lab. We had girls from marginalized communities learning alongside theater artists, technologists, scientists, and whoever else wandered in (physically or digitally). It was a safe space where kids could dream bigger, build cooler things, and access the tools they needed to break out of systemic limitations. The lab isn't active anymore, but its spirit is still out there—somewhere, probably building something cool.
