Bio

Co-founder at 8infinity Game Ed

Designing a simulation game called The Founder where you can start & scale your startup from a prototype to an IPO

My process
(Unlearn + Rethink) Repeat

My timeline
At 25
Finished my MBA in marketing, started working and to my surprise I realised I didn't know much. So I quit

At 26
Started a consulting firm with a friend, it was a good way to get paid while I learnt Behavioural Economics, Neuroscience & Philosophy

At 28
Co-founded 8 startups. Was accountable for setting vision, systems and culture of these companies.

At 31
Figured I loved helping grow founders and startups but my time was limited so I couldn't scale beyond 8 startups.

At 32
Shut down consulting and co-founding to work on a product which I hope would inspire Indians to build more startups and solve problems at scale. Raised ₹1 Crore. A few months later the pandemic hit.

Now
Slowly realising that funding was the easy part.
Building, designing, delegating everyday, little by little, is underrated but that's the only way to do it.
Making a game is harder than you think and now after 1 and a half years the beta version of the game is about to be launched. The game is a simulation of what a person might experience if he chooses to start up.
