Here is an introduction from Satragni himself:
My name is Satragni Sarkar and I am from India. Satragni is quite a unique name mostly because people in India can’t pronounce it properly although it’s an Indian name.The name 'Satragni' comes from Sanskrit where SATRA means sacred and AGNI is fire. The world of technology fascinates me. Any new technology be it a phone or nifty gadget has an effect quite similar to that of chocolate or a toy on a small child. I love designing and innovation, and also photography. My eyes constantly wander around to looking for something beautiful, worthy of being captured.
