Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
built in education for a while. helped students get to their dream universities, raised on shark tank, & worked with incredible people. building in consumer now with the foundery. launching sooooon :) drop me an email at [email protected] with anything.
key highlights : - lost to kishore biyani at tt - became a backbencher again - building a very interesting product for young adults - beat nikunj at tt
lived with 10 strangers for a month. everyone else was building in ai & hardware. got to learn a lot & be the dumbest person in the room.
college counselling needed a change. we tried to fix it. reached 1.2 cr arr profitably, raised on shark tank, students got admits to top colleges, & showed consumers that a different approach is possible. fell to co founder conflict. truly believe this is a massive problem that someone should take up, happy to share our learnings with anyone trying to build in this.
built summer programs. 5000+ students from 30 countries enrolled. however, summer programs are not monetisable in india to the level we thought. received a grant from ankur warikoo after which he asked us to explore college counselling. got our first client immediately after.
did college partnerships & built a new feature to help users build proof of work. mostly spreadsheets, and chatgpt work, but I learned a lot about building a startup, from how hiring works to pivoting your product. the team was incredible & changed my life. first big boy salary, shifted to a new city for this job, and got a crash course in adulting.
struggled on canva for the majority of the day.
