About

I’ve spent the last few years obsessed with one question - why does online shopping still feel so disconnected from who we are? At Flickd, we’re building the AI fashion layer of the internet - where anyone can see themselves in any outfit instantly, discover their vibe, and shop in a way that finally feels personal. Before this, Flickd was a video-led fashion discovery app that validated a core insight: people don’t shop by category anymore - they shop by style and vibe. The product gained early traction with creators and brands, giving us strong signals that led to Flickd’s evolution. I’ve previously built NICE IAS Academy to ₹1 Cr ARR, scaled ForFurs to profitability within 50 days, and spent five years as a professional chess player - learning to think in systems, pattern recognition, and long-term execution. My journey spans education, growth, AI, and design - but the mission has always been the same: build products people fall in love with.
