Team & Advisors
A small core. A big circle of expertise.
He3Lumina is built like a modern deep-tech program: a lean founding team, supported by a wider network of scientists, engineers, and reviewers who help us move faster without compromising rigor. We keep the core tight, and we bring in world-class input where it matters most.
Core Team
Aditya Singh Godara, Co-Founder & CEO
Founder-operator leading He3Lumina’s mission end-to-end. Builds partnerships, drives execution readiness, and leads a milestone-gated fusion program with high urgency and high standards.
Aditya Rao, Co-Founder
Startup execution experience across build cycles. Supports systems planning, coordination, and turning strategy into shipped work.
Dr. Neeraj Jain, Fusion Scientist (Full-Time)
Leads day-to-day scientific work across plasma/fusion R&D, experiments, and model-driven iteration.
Scientific Collaboration & Partners
Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Official Collaboration
Early-stage collaboration to strengthen simulation-linked development, scientific review, and fusion-relevant modeling capability.
Dr. Animesh Kuley (IISc), Key Collaboration Contributor
Supports research alignment, technical review, and scientific input into our modeling and experimental roadmap.
Beyond the visible team
Fusion requires excellence across many domains: plasma physics, pulsed power, magnets, controls, vacuum, materials, safety, and systems engineering. Many contributors support us through reviews, consulting sprints, and technical discussions.
We don’t list everyone publicly, not because they’re not important, but because some relationships are early-stage or confidentiality-bound. What matters is this: our program is designed to continuously pull in expert input and convert it into internal capability.
How we work: learning organization by design
- Structured reviews at milestone gates
- Documentation-first culture (decisions, results, and assumptions captured)
- Knowledge compounding (each cycle improves the next)
- Clear ownership and clear standards inside the team
Over time, this becomes a durable advantage: a team that gets smarter every month, not just bigger.
Culture
We run He3Lumina with a simple operating philosophy:
