Abhijit Karnik holds a BE [Instrumentation & Control] from Nirma Institute of Technology. He presently works as Project Manager with one of Asia’s leading IT firms in Mumbai. His friends describe him as “hardworking, passionate, straight-forward in appreciation and also criticism — a fervent friend and ‘relentless’ foe.” A literature buff, who grew up reading the works of Enid Blyton and Ernest Hemingway, Karnik is a big fan of Carl Sagan and Isaac Asimov — the “ground swell” for his especial interest in astronomy and robotics. Karnik loves computers, stand-up comedies and English movies, too. He says that he remembers many of my much-loved films, scene-by-scene.”
