I grew up in Delhi building telescopes, telegraph transmitters, and barometers out of scrap-market parts, mostly on ₹10 a day of pocket money. That same itch to build things is what eventually led me to bootstrap a developer tool, grow it to customers in 49 countries, and sell it.
These days I run Barakah HQ, a community for founders, builders, and IT professionals, and build products for clients, lately a few government projects.
These are the moments that shaped how I work, from building gadgets out of scrap-market parts in Delhi to bootstrapping a product and selling it.
A curious kid who liked taking things apart to see how they worked.
Built a 10x telescope, a telegraph transmitter, a barometer, and plenty more, all on ₹10-a-day pocket money and parts scavenged from local scrap dealers and Chor Bazaar.
Built an IoT road-safety system in school and got to demo it at India Gate and the India Habitat Centre, in front of the Transport Minister, SIAM, and Delhi Police. Honda reached out about funding.
Joined as a partner and tech lead alongside designer Amir Equbal. Eighteen months of building, and an eye for design and international standards I picked up along the way.
Bootstrapped a browser extension for developers and designers, grew it to customers across 49 countries, and sold it.
Started a community where founders, builders, and IT professionals could connect, learn, and look out for one another.
