Work.
The full version.
Two companies. One acquired, one shut down on purpose. Plus the things that didn't make it.
Companies
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 in 2020.
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.
Consulting
Since 2023, working independently with early-stage startups on product strategy, growth, and go-to-market. Small number of engagements at a time.
The work varies — sometimes it's helping a founder think through their first hire, sometimes it's a sprint on retention or pricing. I take on a small number of engagements at a time so I can actually be useful, not just present.
If you're building something and feeling stuck, I'm happy to talk.
Side Projects
Things I build and ship on the side. Both started as questions I couldn't find a good answer to anywhere.
The Graveyard
Things that didn't work. Documented because this is usually the more interesting half.
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.
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.
