Start Here
A simple way to get to know how I think.
This site is part founder diary, part operating notebook, part personal archive. I write about building companies, learning how people work, taking health seriously, and noticing the odd little things that life keeps teaching if you stay awake long enough.
If you are new here, do not start with the full archive. Start with the path that sounds most like you.
Field Notes
Let the strongest ideas come to you
A more deliberate way to follow the archive by email: one new note, one older idea worth resurfacing, and a short reflection from what I am noticing now.
Who I Am
Read the short version first
IIT Bombay, IIM Bangalore, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Exambazaar, Edzy, swimming, running, books, and the long road of figuring things out.
Best Of
Browse the strongest paths in
A more opinionated tour through the archive, grouped by founder notes, technology, health, and the themes I keep returning to.
Owned Audience
If you prefer signal over volume, start with Field Notes
It is the least chaotic way to keep up: a simple email rhythm built around the best ideas, not every single post.
If You Care About Startups
Read the founder notes
I write about hiring, sales, operations, customer behavior, incentives, endurance, and what building Edzy is teaching me.
If You Care About Systems
Read the technology notes
These pieces are less about gadget worship and more about tools, incentives, design choices, software habits, and how products win.
If You Care About Being Human
Read the health and reflection notes
Swimming, running, recovery, self-awareness, attention, discipline, family, and the small observations that quietly shape a life.
