"Hey there, I’m Dr. Preet Sandhu! Welcome to My Digital Living Room. Pull up a virtual chair and let’s get real for a moment. If you wandered onto this website in search of innovation, impact, or maybe just a friendly (if slightly geeky) face, you’re in the right place. I get equally excited about both new gadgets and heartfelt conversations— especially when they both happen at the same time.
I truly believe that innovation isn’t about trendy headlines or overhyped launches— it’s about real people. If a new idea doesn’t make someone’s life better, what’s the point? My mission is simple: bridging the gap between creative ideas and the people who need them most with a little humor (and lots of coffee) along the way."

I started out knee-deep in physics, but somewhere between formulas, I found myself getting hooked on business and big ideas. So, I swapped my lab coat for an MBA and, just for fun, wrapped it up with a doctorate from a Swiss university. Those twists shaped how I see the world—and gave me the itch to solve real problems, not just equations.
AVPL International is where I geek out about tech that truly helps people-think drones and fresh ideas! As a versatile soul, I’m not just a drone entrepreneur but also deeply connected to the spiritual field, creating soulful music that heals and inspires. At Startup Stairs, I work shoulder-to-shoulder with young entrepreneurs, cheering them on, swapping stories, and turning “maybe” into “heck yes!” Balancing innovation with inner harmony, I bring both technology and spirituality together in a way that uplifts lives.
If I had a trophy shelf (and it was big enough), here’s what you’d find—every milestone a story, every achievement proof that with a bit of courage, you can spark real change.
Back in 2016, I took a wild leap and started AVPL International with a simple purpose: empower people—not just with inspiration, but with actual skills, knowledge, and tech that opens new doors. Fast forward, and we’ve trained more than 130,000 students (big families have nothing on us). Next up? Turning 1,50,000 dreamers into Village Level Entrepreneurs and shaking up lives in 12 states. Rural India, get ready: this is just the beginning.
I’m extra-proud to be the first woman entrepreneur collaborating with legends like IIT Kanpur, HSDM, and NSDC International. It means our mission for innovation is getting louder, prouder, and more people are joining the party.
Startup Stairs is my playground for wild ideas, entrepreneurial energy, and occasional happy chaos. Helping early-stage startups in drones, agri-tech, AI, robotics, and EVs take off? That’s my kind of fun. There’s nothing better than cheering on visionaries as they turn wild “what ifs” into “look what we did!”
No matter how high we fly, rural development keeps me grounded. Whether it’s through projects like WISH and GISH or getting drones buzzing over farms, we’re not just improving yields—we’re sparking new dreams for the next generation.
