There isn't an online platform where people can have video chats that helps overcome isolated viewpoints, discover new perspectives, break language barriers, and combat loneliness, depression, and low self-confidence. Most conversation platforms suffer from toxic behavior.Nool is a video-only social conversation app that has community and personal growth at the center of it. The pure video experience ensures authentic human interaction and genuine relationship building while removing the anonymity that comes with keyboard based communication.

Though I had opportunities to build teams before, here we had the need to also build a foundation for the company to evolve from a highly respected but largely unknown brand, and a delivery led organization to a well recognized and highly trusted problem solver and a thought leader in building sustainable solutions. I learnt and validated theories and processes that worked and weeded out the ones that did not. the organization doubled it's strength from 200 employees to 800+ in the same time. We had the environment to experiment stress-free and ended up generating 6X the demand generation that we initially targeted. I then exited Kanini to build a safe space on the internet for people everywhere to converse, discover fresh perspectives, connect with new individuals, and do so in a safe, non-toxic environment" At this point in my life: If I had the opportunity to meet my 17 year old self, I'd tell him, "your interest in building something that could change the world, could still happen. There are some strong signals for it. Just stay the course, but you're also gonna be a virgin for quite some time, I'm sorry." ...and set better expectations to the poor kid.

Consulted different startups and brands on Growth hacking, sale and marketing strategies, and business development. For this whole year I invested heavily in myself to understand areas I sucked at, and took up projects that forced me to learn those areas better.

As my first company that I had helped found (and internally called myself an entrepreneur for the first time), it was the most exciting rollercoaster ride with high stake risks that made me put everything on the line, very often, based on strangers' words/advice. There's just nothing like it. That also gave me the opportunities to meet and work with some incredible individuals and meaningful causes. As a bootstrapped organization we constantly faced the challenge of having to scale by only using the money you make. We consistently grew y-o-y since our 2nd year. Turns out, to learn how that works, you need to learn how the whole universe works. The physics and the human psychology and all... I'm not kidding. Well, it'll most certainly feel like it.And not surprisingly just building a great product driven by a self sustained growing community is still not enough by itself. While Indian bloggers still publish and share their content on the InsiBlogger website, we stopped operating it as a business in 2018. Had the opportunity to organize over 200 blogger meets around the country, meet the breath and depth of creator talent in India, host product launches, branding events and other content creators growth events. Expanded employment from Bangalore, to spread across Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Delhi NCR with a lean team of no more than 12 to 15 members. Learnt what it is to outlast and outgrow our competitions like Reliance backed BigAdda, in.com by Viacom18, Tothenew backed Blogmint and other blogging networks alike. Organized India's largest ever blogger event 'Blog Now Live Forever (BNLF)' and hosted some of the top 1% of the blogging community in India.

First time I jumped from being a small fish in the ocean to a big fish in a small pond. Funnily enough it was exactly around when the world was diving nose first into the 2008 recession. I learned to be resourceful when you have nothing. Changed lanes from pursuing knowledge in technology to knowledge in Business building. Was responsible for selling Real time Operation Systems to Aerospace and Defence companies like Lockheed Martin and HAL, Test Automation and Security Solutions to businesses in US, EU and India.
