What I've built

Why I built it

I was tired of copy-pasting my own company into every grant and accelerator application.

What it does

A live catalog of 300+ funding sources across 35+ countries, an AI agent that drafts answers from your profile, and a Chrome extension that fills funder forms — all tracked in one pipeline. You review every answer before it's sent.

Who it's for

Founders, researchers and non-profits raising any kind of funding — grants, fellowships, accelerators, scholarships or VCs. It's live and generating revenue.

Why I built it

I kept finishing essays I couldn't actually explain afterwards, so I built it for myself first.

What it does

You read something short, the text disappears, and you explain it out loud from memory. It checks your clarity, structure and depth.

Who it's for

People who read to learn, not just to finish. Still early, still testing.

Why I built it

At Acharya Ventures I watched founders juggle research, documents, CRM and marketing across separate apps.

What it does

One internal system tied them together, with an AI layer that worked off the company's own data. I built it solo in about four months.

Who it's for

The founders inside the studio — and it's where I learned I like building software around how a business actually runs.

Work experience

I work with Monoxor's founder on whatever the business needs — lenders, refinancing, sales, agents, ads and internal systems. We've raised around $70–80k for the real-estate side so far.

Most of the work turned into software — EERA, fundraising workflows, research systems. It's also where I taught myself to build, so I'd stop needing someone else to test an idea.

ERDC

Research Intern · 2023

Grassroots entrepreneurship research across several Indian states. My first look at how unevenly resources reach founders outside the big cities.

Volunteering

The Global Shapers Community is the World Economic Forum's network of young people working on local problems. What I care about here is simple: more young people in Himachal getting the chance to build, earn on their own terms, and fix things around them. Two of those efforts are mine.

Skillshala

A skills programme where you finish with something you built, not a certificate. A year in Kangra — building with AI, selling, and solving real problems for local businesses.

Saaf Bir

Bir's waste problem is also an information problem. Saaf Bir builds one shared picture — geotagged reports, hotspots, field checks and cleanup. A prototype exists; the test is whether people actually use it.

AIESEC

AIESEC

Chandigarh, India · 2022 – 2023

I volunteered with AIESEC on youth leadership and development programmes.

About

I'm from Himachal Pradesh and studied Economics at Panjab University. I learned to code because I wanted to build my own ideas. Most things I've learned since have happened for similar reasons.
