Bengaluruopen to 0→1 roles

hey, i'm rinkesh 👋

i build products, usually from scratch, these days mostly with AI. my first company Savior started as software for one hospital's front desk and grew to 85+ hospitals before Zocdoc bought it. then i spent two years at Accel backing pre-seed founders.

i like the early, figure-it-out part the most: finding the wedge, shipping fast, seeing what actually sticks. right now i'm building again, in the open, and looking for the next 0→1.

building something 0→1? i'd genuinely like to hear about it.

// track record

Savior2017–20 · exit

the healthcare-ops company i started in college and grew into an acquisition by Zocdoc.

found the wedge by sitting inside hospitals — the gap between how care is meant to run and how it actually does
sold it and onboarded the first 30 clients myself
ran a team of 8, end to end

edtech for career switchers — strong engagement, but the unit economics never held.

10k users in six months, almost entirely word of mouth
40% completion against a 5–10% category norm — built for the last lesson, not the first signup
made the call to shut it down myself rather than limp along

ran Accel India's pre-seed program for 0→1 founders, end to end.

chose the founders and shaped the program across 4 cohorts and 2 tracks (AI, LeapTech)
sat with each team through the messiest part of zero-to-one — rough idea to fundable
two years on the investor side of the table, after two as a founder
