I build consumer apps. Ten years, three startups, one exit. Made a few things that went viral.

Things I've made

  • Kept — an app that organizes screenshots on your phone and resurfaces the good things you save | built with Devesh

  • iknowaspot — an illustrated guide to Lodhi Garden | built with Srijan

  • Muzify — a product where you are shazam. played ~5 million times

  • [unnamed] — Currently building an AI project that lets others talk to your git and linkedin

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

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

more experiments → (Turf, Vouch, tldrmail, Reko, Stak, and others)

Before that

  • Bantr (2021–22) — spent two years and 12+ iterations building a social app for football fans with Rishabh. Learned how to design for social graphs and network effects the hard way. Shut it down when we ran out of runway.

  • CEO, Resolver India (2017–19) — built and ran Resolver's India consumer product. 0 to 170k users in a year, three enterprise customers, a team of ten.

  • Expertily (2014–17) — a tool to hire lawyers in India. Took it to six-figure revenue with a team of four. Acquired by Resolver (UK). Started it in my last year of law school.

A few things about me

Born and based in India. Ex-founder with product chops. I like consumer tech and apps that bring people together. Once built a tool for lawyers that got recognised by — and got API access from — the Supreme Court of India.
