Work.
The full version.

Two companies. One acquired, one shut down on purpose. Plus the things that didn't make it.

Currently open to product roles.

Savior
2017 – 2020 Acquired by Zocdoc

Founder & Product

Hospitals don't need more software. They need software that fits how they actually work.

I spent months inside hospitals before writing a single line of spec. Not observing from the outside — actually on the floor, learning how care runs versus how it reads on paper. That gap became the product.

Built operations and preventive-care software used daily across hospital teams. Owned the full lifecycle from discovery to adoption. The hardest part wasn't the technology — it was getting nurses and admin staff to trust software enough to actually use it.

Grew to 85+ hospitals and approximately $1M ARR. Acquired by Zocdoc — a US healthcare marketplace — in 2020.

Career Leap
2020 – 2023 Shut down

Founder & Product

Started as Upskill India, a WhatsApp community of 10K members, before becoming Career Leap.

The skills that actually shape your career aren't taught anywhere.

Started as a WhatsApp group. 10,000 users in six months, mostly word of mouth. Launched a mobile learning app with 100k+ watch hours, grew the community to 3,500 active members, run by a 3-person team.

Pivoted to live cohorts. Maintained a 40% completion rate (industry average: 5–10%). Generated ₹15L in revenue. Shut it down in 2023 when the unit economics didn't work at scale. I learned more from this one than from Savior.

Side Projects

Things I build and ship on the side.

KnowYourPay ↗ Live
The problem Most Indian professionals have no idea if they're being paid fairly. Salary data exists but it's either US-focused, outdated, or buried behind paywalls and recruiter calls.
What it is A free salary benchmarking tool for Indian tech and product roles — by role, city, experience, and company tier. Instant, no signup, no gatekeeping.
Where it is Live and getting traffic. Built and launched in under 2 weeks. Started as a spreadsheet I was maintaining for friends asking "is this offer good?"

Product Sense Lab ↗ Live
The problem Product thinking is a skill you can practice — but there's no good way to do it. Interview prep tools are shallow, courses are passive, and feedback from managers is rare and vague.
What it is One real product problem a day, calibrated to your level. You write your answer. You get specific, layered feedback that names the blind spot — not just what you got right.
Where it is Live with paying users. Built for PMs prepping for interviews, levelling up on the job, or founders who need to think more like product people.

The Graveyard

Things that didn't work. Documented because this is usually the more interesting half.

Hypersync
Dev tool 2024 Never launched

Built a CLI tool to sync env variables across microservices. Spent 3 weeks on it. Third person I showed it to said "I just use Doppler." Killed it before launch.

One honest conversation would have saved three weeks.

MicroMentor
Marketplace 2019 Pricing mismatch

15-minute feedback sessions for designers. 100 sessions booked in month one. Junior designers would pay $15. Senior designers wanted $100/hr. The math never worked.

Traction that can't survive its own pricing isn't real traction.
