Ovi Shekh Email & Phone Number

Hello, I'm Ovi Shekh. I am an Indie App Developer and AI Enthusiast. I first learned about the startup world from a senior at my school, Nahid, in 2018. He was trying to build a community-based app for the school so teachers, students, administrators, and staff could easily communicate with each other. Given my reputation as a programmer, Nahid convinced me to work as a developer on his project. From him, I learned a lot about startup culture, and he told me stories about Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, which fascinated me and fueled my desire to start something of my own.During the time of Covid, my classmate Reduanul Ryad and I, along with a few other young people who lost their jobs due to the pandemic, initiated a service to provide 30-minute delivery of groceries and essential items like medicine and blood platelets. It was a good initiative, but we weren't making any profits, and some of us had other priorities, making it unsustainable for the long term. Consequently, we had to stop providing the service.After that, I heard about the Bangladesh Bank heist, which got me thinking about what I could do to resolve such a problem. I started learning about penetration testing and cybersecurity. In 2022, I began providing cybersecurity services to banks and financial companies as a freelancer.Upon entering university, I chose to study Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), and my understanding of the world expanded. One of my friends, Abir Ahmed, who is a zoology student, insisted I enter the AI industry because he showed me a few metrics indicating that the cost of protein folding had dropped drastically due to AI.There is a chance we can provide personalized healthcare to millions of people with AI. We went through the ideation stage and built a prototype, hoping Startup Bangladesh would help us with regulations and funding. However, it didn’t go as planned, and without the necessary regulations, it was impossible to run it. Nevertheless, we gained the skill to build custom GPT models.On March 10, 2024, we launched ArkLab. We decided to provide AI services to businesses since I have a few connections in the corporate world, so we can gather enough funds to fulfill our vision of providing universal basic healthcare to everyone through ArkLab. So, my journey continues.
