About me
A bit about who I am.
10 years ago, a kid was roaming around the streets in a remote village in India and today he is exactly where he told himself he would be at 18. That kid is me.
Basic words like Burger and Coffee were only exposed to me in pictures and books, not in real life. Started from nothing. I figured everything out myself. What I did was far beyond hard work. It was self torture.
Professionally, an Entrepreneur. AI Engineer. AI Researcher.
But personally, I am a kid who loves to explore this world, who lives life like a movie.
I have been mostly alone in my life, which gave me a habit of observing people. When and how people react, the human psychology and behavior.
Apart from tech and AI, I love sales and building businesses.
At 18, I told myself I was going to break out of the cage and build myself from scratch.
At 19, secured a position at Microsoft. Left it at 20. At 21, started a business and took it to five figures in 17 months.
Heineken. Airbnb. Publicis. AWS. Malaysia, Netherlands, US, Germany. Boardrooms, workshops, stages. Countless founders and small business owners across industries.
I have failed many times and every single time I chose to get up and build the bridge for me.
I have been to the places most people spend their whole career trying to get into. I walked away from those places when they stopped feeling real.
Founders and small business owners. That is where I found my kick. I love turning a slow business into something that outperforms giants with the power of AI.
Turning 26 soon. Still young, full of hunger and fire. I think it all just started.
I want to work with amazing people like you, write a book, laugh with my kids, travel the world, and do something different. Something that matters in the world.
I do not want to be like someone else. I just want to be like me.

How I operate
What I stand on, and what I refuse.
Three principles.
- 01
Never settle for even 99%.
Anything under 100% isn't done. I don't call something shipped until I'd use it myself.
- 02
Client first, always.
My client sits at the front of every decision. That's how I build trust and ship the systems their business actually needs.
- 03
Be responsible for your tasks.
I own every task I take on. The work moves because I make it move.
Three things I never do.
- 01
Abandon anything unfinished.
I deliver on time and finish what I start. Half-shipped work isn't work.
- 02
Leave a client stuck.
I find a way. I hold firm on scope and price, but you'll never hear a flat “can't be done.”
- 03
Stop upgrading.
Learning is non-negotiable. The tech moves fast, and I move with it.
Right now
Where I am right now.
I run Octify from India with Lakshay. Two engineers, no agency layer. We ship into the US, EU, and MENA.
When I'm not building, I write three times a week on LinkedIn about AI for small businesses. Same voice as here.
Write to me
If this sounds like you, write to me.
If you paid for a PDF when you wanted a system, you're the person I built Octify for.
Email is best. Send one paragraph about your business and what AI could fix. I reply within two business days, directly from me.
