About

I run companies in India and Mexico. 30 years across Hong Kong, USA, Mexico, and India. I help US and LATAM companies build tech teams across both countries. Same time zones as the US (Mexico). Best engineering talent in the world (India). One person who's lived in both and speaks the language — literally. Started as a tailor in Hong Kong. Built a logistics startup in Mexico (1M+ packages). Now I build AI automation with OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, and WhatsApp, Telegram. I share what I'm learning. The good choices and the poor ones. ashishpunj.com | gpounj.com
