LOCAL ENGINEER TEACHES SATELLITES TO SEE;
MACHINES REPORTEDLY "DELIGHTED"

Massevale Karishma Taj promoted to SDE-2 at Dhruva Space; sources confirm she debugged it on the first try

HYDERABAD — In a development that has the local software-engineering community abuzz, software engineer M. Karishma Taj has returned to Dhruva Space — the very institution where she once interned — this time as a full Software Development Engineer 2, writing software for actual satellites.

"With great compute comes great responsibility," Taj was reportedly heard saying, gesturing at a terminal full of orbital telemetry. Colleagues describe her as "the teammate who supports every single person on the team" and "suspiciously calm under pressure."

Taj's career reads like a serialized adventure: two campaigns at GalaxEye Space building mission-critical software (May–Dec 2025), an internship at Dhruva Space where she mastered the arcane arts of GMAT, QGIS and OREKIT (Jan–Apr 2025).

Earlier chapters include a Generative AI internship at Bio-Veda Wellness — where she enchanted a camera to correct yoga poses in real time — and research at NITAP Labs detecting faults in power systems before the lights so much as flickered.

She holds a BTech in EEE (Honors) with an ECE minor from NIT Andhra Pradesh
