About

I’m a builder at heart - of tech, teams, and companies. Over the past 14+ years, I’ve founded six startups, built and shipped 20+ products (including a free tool used in 190+ countries), and seen two successful exits - Dextro (acquired by Axon, a public US company) and ZoyoAI (acquired by MagicLane). I’ve raised half a million as a solo founder and built MVPs that have helped other founders secure tens of millions in follow-on funding. Currently, I lead HCode Technologies - a 50+ engineer development studio trusted by global startups - and serve as CTO & Co-founder at PayTunes, India’s fastest-growing digital audio advertising platform. I also actively back founders as a Founding Investor & hands-on Advisor, helping them launch and scale during the critical zero-to-one phase - with ventures like Pollen Studios, Leap10x, and others. I also do pure advisory on product and tech. Seven years ago, despite outward success, I was restless and burning out. Daily Vipassanā and deep study of the Gita transformed my life and work. Spirituality is now my core compass - I’ve even created an 18-episode Gita series to share these timeless insights. I now focus on building Rasa (rasaapp.com) - a purpose-driven app for micro-resets that bring clarity, calm, and intention into daily life. Beyond work, I’m a dad to two amazing kids and an unapologetic gamer - RTS, tycoons, FPS, you name it. I love board game nights and have a soft spot for wandering off to new countries whenever I can (a dozen countries and counting!).
