About

I dropped out of engineering college in 2013 and started building software. Since then, I've shipped products across fintech, Web3, EV infrastructure, e-commerce, and developer tools.

My first real venture was Unstudious, an EdTech startup tackling book piracy in India. Matrix Partners and Tracxn noticed. That was enough validation to keep going.

I spent two years at Paytm (seller dashboard backend, then growth engineering), four years at Pei (a payment fintech), and a stint at Flex post-acquisition before going fully independent.

Today I run Droidsize Technologies, a product studio building SaaS and AI tools. I'm also building Chargespot (EV charging infrastructure through Charge23 Labs) and Relaycode (Polkadot developer tooling funded by the Web3 Foundation).

Since late 2025, I've been building almost everything with AI agents. Claude Code changed how I work. I ship faster now than at any point in my career.
