CROSSLINKER is just not a technology platform but a gift to the world.
Aviral grew up watching his father’s dreams gather dust in his warehouse lab. Dr. Tiwari, a brilliant but struggling materials scientist, had spent years perfecting a smart coating that could save millions of human lives; only to hit the same wall again and again: no funding meant no testing or approvals, and no testing meant no investors. The night Aviral found his father slumped over another rejection email, something inside him snapped. During that summer internship in his father’s company, Aviral coded a platform connecting cash-strapped inventors with testing labs willing to work for small funds, and job seekers trading skills for opportunity. He called it CROSSLINKER as it was linking the like-minded people. Through this early platform, his father was able to find labs that could test, validate, and approve his products.
Fast forward two years later, CROSSLINKER has become something far bigger than a son’s gift to his dad. The platform had morphed into a living bridge, one where a retired engineer’s mentorship could ignite a teenager’s fusion reactor design, where a farmer’s $20 investment helped scale biodegradable packaging, where “no” was no longer the last word. The warehouse prototype had long since been outgrown, but its lesson remained: genius was never rare, only underfunded. And sometimes, all it took to change that was a kid who refused to watch his hero give up.
Aviral mentioned to his father, "We didn’t just build a platform. We built a ladder. And now, nobody has to fall like we did."
And in that moment, they realized, their greatest invention wasn’t a technology; It was hope.
