Work History

Co-Founder

Calling Station
01.2018 - 01.2024
  • I co-founded Calling Station, a pioneering poker start-up. We introduced the 'Instant Withdrawal' feature, which revolutionized the gaming industry in India, where withdrawals were typically processed only once every 24 hours. This innovation helped us scale the business with an initial investment of just ₹20 lakh, ultimately leading to its successful acquisition by OneVerse Technologies in 2024.

Co-Founder

Utter.ai
01.2019 - 01.2023
  • I co-founded Utter.ai, a sports analytics platform, which we had to shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic due to financial constraints. Despite this, I gained valuable insights into product development and the importance of agility in challenging times.

Founder

Theory of Elections
01.2016 - 01.2018
  • I founded Theory of Elections, a start-up that created a platform to help political candidates manage their campaigns from end-to-end. We worked with several candidates, including those from the Indian National Congress, during the Karnataka Elections. Unfortunately, we had to discontinue the project due to payment-related challenges with the candidates & political party.

Product & Project Manager

Brighter India Foundation
01.2009 - 01.2015
  • A political startup working with the Indian National Congress, I served as the product & project manager. I led various initiatives, including:
  • Managing an online membership drive, overseeing 3 crore members across India.
  • Developing an internal elections app for the Indian Youth Congress & the National Students Union of India (NSUI).
  • Building 'Khidkee', a social networking platform for Congress.
  • Streamlining processes among stakeholders within the organization.
  • Some of these products continue to be in use.

Co-Founder

LetsHead.to
01.2007 - 01.2009
  • I co-founded LetsHead.to, an innovative start-up offering customized meals through an online platform. Customers could purchase meals from partner restaurants at discounted prices. After making a payment online, they received a unique code via SMS (at a time when smartphones were not widespread). This code was verified at the restaurant, enabling the customer to enjoy the meal.
