Based out of India, I have been a founder leading and building products for ~10 years. Have exited a startup. Built three.

Most recently — at Asset, an early stage startup. Shipped a product which went a little viral and was used by ~1 million people.

Recent experiments:

  • [unnamed] — a product that creates an interactive profile with your github, linkedin, personal websites, and more — so anyone can talk to it

  • Linklee (2024) — a link you can redirect anywhere for free

  • Pager (2023) — find out when someone is free, without texting them

  • Turf (2023) — track football games you play with friends

  • Vouch (2023) — collect recommendations from people who loved working with you

  • tldrmail (2022) — AI summaries of your unread emails (CASA certified)

Over the years

2022

  • Reko — a social app to share recommendations of things with close friends

  • Stak — a chrome extension to create shareable stacks of links you bookmark

—————

Bantr

  • Bantr (last iteration) — back your fav team

  • Bantr reacts — react to every important thing that happens in football

2021

  • Benchtalk — voice rooms to watch matches together

  • Fan Moments — an app for fans to share photos, videos while they are watching their teams play

  • Group stream — a chrome extension to watch things together

  • Factify — a whatsapp bot to check fake news during Covid

2020

2017 — 2019

  • Expertily — an app to hire lawyers in India. Took it to $ six figure revenue with a team of 4. Acquired by Resolver UK.

  • CEO, Resolver India — Built and ran Resolver's consumer product for India. A consumer complaint tool to raise complaints with companies and a SaaS product for companies to learn where they could improve their service.
    > Went from 0 to 170,000 users in 1 year.
    > Signed on 3 enterprise customers
    > Hired a team of 10. Worked with the London team.

2014 - 2017
