How I Think

01Learn on the go
+

The best way to master a new technology is to build something real with it.

02Best things come out of iteration
+

Ship early, gather feedback, and continuously refine. Perfect is the enemy of done.

03Taste is acquired over time
+

Exposing yourself to great design and architecture builds the intuition needed to create them.

04Writing makes you a better designer
+

Clear communication translates to clearer thinking and a better overall product experience.

05Everything is figureoutable
+

No bug is too deep and no problem is too complex when broken down into manageable pieces.

06Systems over surfaces
+

Well-designed underlying systems multiply effort, allowing small teams to create massive value.

Asrith Behala

AI/ML engineering student by degree, product builder by obsession. As the founder of SikshaNext, I've launched platforms like GradBuzz, StrideAI, and BellaUI. I am also the founder and lead organizer of the HackYatra circuit. Currently at Saukhyam Foundation, where I grew from documentation into leading the Heal AI chatbot, managing the technical lifecycle for hundreds of real-world users.

Every pixel and line of code on this site was handcrafted by me. If you're building something ambitious, I'm always ready to talk.

Founder

SikshaNext

Building my startup SikshaNext. Launched GradBuzz (AI-built content platform), StrideAI (resume diagnostics SaaS), and BellaUI (WebGL component library). All built solo with AI as a force multiplier.

01

HackYatra~

The Reality of Tier-3 Hackathons: Misaligned judging, superficial evaluations, and poor infrastructure. I launched HackYatra to fix this by building a massive, student-led hackathon circuit spanning 30 cities across India. A true zero-to-one ecosystem driven entirely by hustle, community, and AI-assisted execution.

The Vision & Core Differentiator+

Students spend weeks building machine learning models, only for judges without domain expertise to rush through evaluations. HackYatra flips the script.

  • Expert Judging: Judges must have verified expertise in the specific problem statements. Transparent score pages eliminate bias.
  • Beyond the Prize Money: It doesn't just end on stage. Winners receive 25% in cash, while the remaining 75% goes toward funding a real-world pilot run of their solution.
  • Massive Scale: Expanding to 30 cities across 28 states, unifying Tier 1, 2, and 3 colleges.
Technical Execution (Solo + AI)+

I validated the idea in March 2026 and began building the entire digital infrastructure solo. I designed the typography, color palette, logo, and coded the complete platform.

The Tech Stack: Built on Next.js, with Supabase for robust database and authentication. Engineered the payment integration using Razorpay with custom webhooks, and implemented Zod for strict data validation and bot prevention.

The Hustle: Venues & Govt+

Tech is only half the battle. I personally pitched to colleges and sponsors. After facing rejections due to exorbitant venue fees, I successfully closed an official venue partnership with NSRIT.

The GVMC Collaboration: I spent 23 intense hours in a single week collaborating with 15 officials from the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) to design civic problem statements. This secured a ₹1,50,000 budget approval for 3 teams to run real-world pilots.

GradBuzz~

Information for students is heavily scattered. There was no dedicated platform revealing real interview experiences, real tools, and real opportunities directly from employees and founders. I built GradBuzz to fix this broken flow of knowledge.

The Judge's Verdict

Product Thinking9.5/10

Addressed a real problem - student advice platforms are noisy. GradBuzz cures noise by strictly vetting contributors.

Execution Velocity10/10

Leveraged AI tools for design, logo creation, and initial code generation - proving a modern developer workflow.

Scale & Security9/10

Clear separation of privileges with solid database-backed roles preventing unauthorized publishes.

The Invite-Only Moat+

Unlike open platforms where anyone can publish noise, GradBuzz is strictly curated. Only vetted industry professionals, startup founders, and successfully placed students can write.

I acquired this initial contributor base through high-volume, personalized cold outreach across email and LinkedIn, successfully onboarding top-tier tech employees.

Invite OnlyCurated
High SignalLow Noise
AI Integration (Gemini 3.5)+

To scale content delivery and maintain high quality, I deeply integrated Google's Gemini 3.5.

It acts as the "brain" of the platform - assisting in writing, structuring complex technical blogs, and keeping the content aggressively up-to-date with the fast-moving tech industry. This automation allows me to operate the entire platform solo.

Technical Challenges & SEO+

The platform is built on a robust, modern stack: Next.js, Supabase, and Razorpay.

The two hardest technical challenges I solved were:

  • Complex Form UI: Designing a seamless, highly intuitive multi-step form for contributors to draft, format, and submit their blogs without friction.
  • Automatic SEO: Engineering a programmatic SEO pipeline that automatically generates dynamic meta tags, structured data, and optimized routes for every single blog post we publish to drive massive organic reach.

StrideAI~

> Executing advanced resume diagnostics engine...
> Bridging gap between generic ATS checkers and hiring heuristics.
> Initializing multi-model AI architecture...

stride-engine.tsx
function applyHiringHeuristics()+

The platform features a clean UI: an intuitive form on the left, and a live output preview on the right. Behind the scenes, it utilizes premium, battle-tested LaTeX templates for the final resume export.

The StrideAI engine is programmed with the specific resume preferences of over 20+ top tech companies. It actively rewrites bullet points to enforce formats like the famous Google XYZ formula, and provides deep ATS scoring and diagnostics.

ai-router.ts
async fallbackChain()+

To guarantee 100% uptime and optimize for complex tasks, I architected a multi-model fallback chain integrating GPT-4.0, Groq, Gemini, and Grok.

  • Task-Based Routing: Paid user requests are dynamically routed to specific models based on what that model specializes in.
  • Resilience: If one API fails or hits a limit, it instantly falls back to the next provider.

The OAuth Battle+

Authentication in modern SSR frameworks is notoriously tricky. I spent 4 intense days fighting to implement Google Auth via Supabase PKCE.

Despite leveraging multiple AI coding assistants, the built-in Supabase flow consistently failed in my specific edge cases. Recognizing the sunk cost, I pivoted and implemented a direct, custom authentication flow to bypass the issue - proving that sometimes raw engineering intuition beats AI tools.

04

BellaUI~

The internet is flooded with the same repeated UI components. I built BellaUI to fix this. It is a modern, copy-pasteable component library designed to bring high-end spatial computing and dynamic physics into standard web interfaces.

Spatial Computing on the Web+

Unlike traditional UI libraries that focus solely on static forms and layouts, BellaUI provides drop-in Three.js and GSAP-driven experiences.

The library features complex physics components like a Liquid 3D Magnetic Button, Gooey WebGL Toggle Switches, Kinetic Typography Black Holes, and Holographic Parallax Cards.

Technical Architecture (React 19)+

Building a 3D library requires strict architectural patterns to prevent it from breaking standard DOM layouts.

  • Isolated Contexts: Three.js components wrap their scenes in `<Canvas>` internally, allowing them to be dropped directly alongside regular HTML.
  • Zero External CSS: Tailwind CSS v4 is used exclusively. No monolithic stylesheets required.
  • No Global Side Effects: Animations and physics are strictly scoped using GSAP's `useGSAP` hook.
React 19Core
Three.jsWebGL
The Developer Experience (DX)+

BellaUI is not a monolithic NPM package. You add only what you need. It supports CLI installation (`npx bellaui@latest add liquid-magnetic-button`) instantly scaffolding the component into your project.

The documentation site runs on a bespoke playground system. It uses Vite's `?raw` import syntax to fetch real-time source code, ensuring the code you copy is the exact code running in the live preview.
