World War II trivia: Bhavin Turakhia shows his nerdy side, posts a video of the historic Turing Bombe machine

The Bombe was used by British cryptologists to help decipher secret messages.

By ET Bureau | Updated:
The machine was designed by scientist and mathematician Alan Turing in 1939 and is displayed at the Bletchley Park estate today.
Bhavin Turakhia, co-founder of Zeta, was recently in Britain where he visited the famous Bletchley Park.

While posting a few pictures and a video on his Instagram, Turakhia displayed his nerdy side. “A fully functional Turing Bombe machine cracking away at the cipher,” he wrote, while recording a video of the Bombe machine at work.



The Bombe was used by British cryptologists to help decipher secret encrypted messages being sent by the Germans during World War II. The machine was designed by scientist and mathematician Alan Turing in 1939 and is displayed at the Bletchley Park estate today.


Turakhia also posed in front of the estate’s sprawling mansion in another Instagram post
