Sid07 Designs

Siddharth Gupta is Season 1's most technically trained and most harshly treated founder — a 28-year-old mechanical engineer from Jammu who was rejected by IIT at 17, earned a full scholarship to RWTH Aachen University in Germany (one of Europe's most prestigious technical universities), returned to India committed to solving everyday problems through product design, built 11 inventions with 3 granted patents before age 28, and walked into Shark Tank India's most openly hostile panel reaction of Season 1 with the same calm that characterised his entire pitch. "I was always intrigued to create things, to invent them right from my childhood. That is why I wanted to become an engineer. When I was 17, I was rejected from my dream IIT college, but that day I committed to myself that I will not let a name of a college determine my future." Siddarth Gupta is the Founder, CEO and Chief Engineer of SID07 Designs. He did his B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering and MS from RWTH Aachen University.

Sid07 Designs is a product design and innovation company — building a portfolio of patented everyday-life improvement products across multiple categories, with the flagship product being the Drill Duster (a dust-collecting drill attachment that protects eyes and lungs during drilling operations), alongside desk organisers, portable cups, domestic hydraulic tools, and power tool accessories — all designed to be indispensably useful, completely sustainable, and globally accessible. The Drill Duster addresses a universal and genuinely unsolved problem for anyone who has ever drilled into a wall: the shower of plaster, concrete, or brick dust that falls into the eyes, nose, and mouth. Professional drill attachments for dust collection exist in industrial contexts but are large, expensive, and impractical for household use. The Drill Duster is a compact, affordable, consumer-grade sleeve that attaches to standard drill bits and collects dust before it disperses.
