About Me

Ashmika Agarwal

Engineering futures through research, strategy & systems

As of October 28, 2025, I bring 17+ years of experience spanning advanced materials research, engineering strategy, and systems innovation. Currently, I serve as a PhD Scholar at CSIR-AMPRI focusing on Fiber Metal Laminates, while simultaneously founding and leading VoidPrakash — a research consultancy at the intersection of advanced materials, AI, sustainability, and strategic foresight.

My journey has taken me from being the youngest TS Internal Auditor at Cummins to pioneering research in self-healing materials and ballistic impact analysis. I believe in creating solutions that span generations, with a 200-year vision for industrial transformation.
