About

In the era of abundance in content, code and commerce - leveraging taste in all that you do is what sets you apart. Taste and trust is scarce, but not perishable. Hi, I'm Vedant - I like to make and break things in 0 to 1. Having worked at large scale consumer tech ventures of India, it amazes me how you can solve for and influence user experience merely by changing pixels around. Contrary to the build fast, ship fast narrative - I like to take time, truth-seek and solve elegantly, because good things take time to compound. In my free time, I find myself tinkering with AI, host curated events, experiment with niche consumer markets, play poker and study laws, principles, and frameworks which govern the world as we know it. Pattern observation, recognition and application is where I spend most time mentally and chat with friends and strangers for their perspective on the same. If you're curious and agentic, hmu and maybe we jam on something meaningful that adds value to each other and hopefully to the world.
