I've always been drawn to the people that tech ignores. The farmer in UP who can't type. The truck driver who doesn't have a credit score. The small-town professional who needs a mentor but has never had one.

I co-founded Bolkar to give India's next 500 million a voice — literally. We scaled to a million users, got nominated by Google for Best App in India, and proved that building from empathy beats building from assumption. Every time.

Today I lead product at WheelsEye, where I'm rethinking how India's truck operators buy, sell, and grow. Same instinct. Bigger canvas.

I Changed One Question and Everything Improved
I stopped asking AI "what do you think?" and started asking "what am I missing?" That small shift turned AI from a note-taker into a genuine challenger.

Everyone talks about price and distribution. But without deep physiological science and validated insights, there's no real value — just a device on a wrist.

What Building for Bharat Actually Taught Me About Product
The next 500 million Indian users won't behave like the first 100 million. Real Bharat-first product thinking starts with a fundamentally different question.
