TechnoBabu is a technology learning platform built for Indian users. The idea is simple: most tech tutorials on the internet are written for American readers with American budgets, American internet plans and American hardware availability. We write the guides we wished existed when we started — with real ₹ prices, real Indian ISP quirks, and hardware you can actually order here.
Who runs this site
My name is Anurag Sinha. I’m a technology enthusiast based in New Delhi, India, who has spent years building websites, running home servers on everything from a Raspberry Pi to retired office desktops, configuring VPNs, and automating whatever can be automated. Everything published on TechnoBabu is something I have set up and run myself before writing about it. If a command appears in an article, it has been executed on real hardware. If a price appears, it was checked against Indian sellers at the time of writing.
Why you can trust these guides
There’s a lot of copy-pasted, never-actually-tested tech content online, and it wastes your time and sometimes breaks your hardware. TechnoBabu is the opposite by design:
- Hands-on, not rewritten. Every guide is built from a real setup on real hardware — not paraphrased from someone else’s blog.
- Honest about limits. When something is risky, fiddly, or didn’t work for us, the article says so instead of papering over it.
- Kept current. When software changes or a reader reports an error, we update the guide and add a dated note. Our editorial policy spells out exactly how testing, sourcing and corrections work.
- Independent. No vendor pays to be recommended or to remove criticism. Ads are served by Google and kept entirely separate from what we write.
What we cover
- Website building — domains, hosting, WordPress, and getting your first site online without overspending.
- Home labs — self-hosting on Raspberry Pi, old laptops and mini PCs, designed around Indian power and internet realities.
- VPNs and privacy — how the technology actually works, what Indian regulations mean for you, and building your own.
- Servers and hosting — VPS basics, Nginx, Linux server security, and choosing providers from India.
- Ad blockers — DNS-level filtering, browser extensions, and how blocking technology works under the hood.
- Automation — n8n, Home Assistant, PowerShell and scripts that do the boring work for you.
How we make money
TechnoBabu is free to read and always will be. The site is supported by advertising. We do not sell courses, we do not paywall articles, and we clearly mark anything sponsored (so far: nothing). Our editorial policy explains how we keep advertising and content separate.
