+Overview
+==============
+
+Welcome to eSim!
+----------------
+
+**eSim** is an **open-source** Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tool developed by **FOSSEE, IIT Bombay**, with the goal of making circuit design and simulation accessible to students, educators, and professionals across the globe.
+
+This documentation is designed for both users who want to design and simulate circuits with eSim, and for developers interested in contributing to the eSim codebase.
+
+About the Documentation
+------------------------------
+The documentation is divided into two main sections:
+
