Hey! I'm Vivan
I'm an Inventor and an Athlete aspiring to build a profitable technology-driven business in the upcoming times.
I firmly believe in the idea that says, 'You Need to Put in 10,000 Hours to be an Expert at Something'.
​
From the start, I knew that hard work and dedication to my craft would help me become the person I wanted to be. But I never dreamed of having just one identity; instead, I wanted to be a little more.
​
That's why I've been running marathons, taking part in other track and field events, playing music, performing on stage, jotting down ideas and pushing them to execution with all that I can.
​
Now, the next big thing on my list is to build a technology-driven business and scale it to profitability to bring real change in people's lives.
Tournament Edition
Ideation to Getting the Company Incorporated
During the pandemic, the time spent on video games shot up by 39%, and the whole industry observed a massive shift. One specific format, PVP (Player Versus Player), emerged as one of the significant contributors to this number.
​
But the PVP format's problem is that you have to play with strangers or manually set up a game schedule among your friends, which can be very tricky sometimes.
​
While looking for solutions, I came up with the idea of Tournament Edition.
​
From the ideation of the bracket-based tournament system to filing patents, helping with the code, doing market research and competitive analysis, I've actively helped to get the application up and running.

Earphone Designed For Athletes By An Athlete
As an athlete who encapsulates music's power to focus and carries a pair of headphones around wherever he goes, I still need to identify the perfect headset for my use case, as most of the products in the market are made for general-purpose use and not focused towards the need of an athlete.
​
I need something that can help me focus while being easy on the ears, even for a long duration, is durable and comes with excellent sound quality with noise cancellation enabled.
​
Now, quoting the words of the Greek philosopher Plato, "our need will be the real creator" or 'Necessity is the Mother of Invention', a modified version of the same statement, I too got eager to design something that could solve this one particular problem.
​
I started by researching the science behind noise cancellation technologies. Then I ventured into engineering the design of headphones that solves the issues I face as an athlete.
​
Moreover, the design was focused on making low-cost water-resistant headphones specifically engineered to withstand athletic conditions.
​
You can read about my design concept in my published research paper.
Varsity Captain and a Award Winning Athlete
For most people, running is a cardiovascular activity that helps them remain fit, but for me, it's more than that.
​
For a kid who has been running all his life practically, there's not a day when I skip my training. My love for the game has made me hit the track every day since I was in Grade 6th.
​
As a result of all the hard work I've put in, I've been selected as the Varsity Captain and received the Varsity Sportsmanship Award.
Additionally, I have been working towards strengthening the athlete community by initiating the tradition and leading the inaugural 20.33-mile Turkey Trot with the Cross-Country team.
​
Moreover, working towards self-improvement, I've achieved my goal for the year 2022 by reducing the 5k time by 27% compared to the first year.
​
I have a long way to go, and I'm not stopping anytime soon.
