About

Co-founder & CTO at Scale.jobs – where 70% of our users land jobs so fast, we refund them. We deploy human assistants + AI Agents to apply to 100+ jobs per user with custom resumes. From building Pulsejet engines in college to coding full-stack apps, I've always been a builder at heart. My journey started on the riverbanks of Southern India, where I dreamt of building India's next big hyperlocal app. With zero technical skills but boundless ambition, I learned that execution trumps ideas. This reality check set everything in motion. The path? WordPress freelancing → profitable tailoring startup → scaling a newsletter platform to 50K users as a solo developer → leading tech as CTO at a Quick Commerce startup. Each venture taught me to embrace the art of hacking things into working while building for scale. Today at Scale.jobs (Techstars '24), we're solving one of the most frustrating problems professionals face. We've built a platform where human assistants apply to jobs on your behalf with custom resumes and cover letters, reducing average job search time from 5 months to just 1-3 months. The result? That 70% success rate I mentioned. A solid 4.8 on Trustpilot. Our solution is straightforward. No AI auto-apply shortcuts that get instantly rejected. Real humans who understand context, tailor every application, and get past both automated screening systems and human reviewers. We serve recent graduates entering competitive markets, international students racing against visa deadlines, laid-off professionals who need to move fast, and career switchers breaking into new industries. Anyone who values their time at more than $3 per hour benefits from our service. Need help with your job search? DM me for a free consultation with us.
