Six sides. Roll to meet one.

Hey, I'm Rinkesh.

Welcome to my corner of the internet. I'm a product builder from Bengaluru, and I've spent most of the last decade building products and companies.

My first startup, Savior, helped 85 hospitals across India run their daily operations. We bootstrapped it from day one, got it profitable, and Zocdoc acquired it in 2020. My second, Career Leap, was a live learning platform that grew to 10,000 learners. After three years we realised the product and business weren't going to scale, and I decided to shut it down.

Since then I've been exploring different domains, building products with AI and helping other founders with their product and growth along the way.

Beyond work, my weeks usually revolve around playing board games, exploring new coffee places in Bengaluru, or watching sports with my cat Simba.

What I'm looking for

The earliest stage: a rough problem, no product yet, still figuring out if it's even real. I like being close to users, shipping fast, and being wrong quickly. Founder, founding PM, or a 0→1 lead.

Track record
Savior Acquired 2017–20

I started Savior in college as an appointment-booking tool for patients, but four months in we realised there was a bigger problem: hospitals were still running on paper.

Savior became the software that ran the whole operation, for tier-1 chains like Fortis, Cloudnine and many more. In three years we scaled to 85+ hospitals across India, completely bootstrapped and profitable. In 2020, Zocdoc acquired us.

Career Leap Shut down 2020–23

It started as a passion project. A WhatsApp community of 10k+ learners became Upskill India, a gamified learning app for upskilling from curated resources. In six months we had 5,000 learners on the platform and 100k+ watch hours, but we realised it still wasn't a good business.

Eventually we pivoted to Career Leap: live soft-skills learning for tech professionals. We ran two cohorts, trained 60 professionals and saw real demand, but the model wouldn't scale and the unit economics never worked, so after three and a half years of operations I decided to shut down.
