I enjoy conversations with people who are building things. In 2022 I graduated from IIT Delhi and briefly worked as a Product Manager building a merchant banking app for AU Small Finance Bank. After 8 months I left to start a small experiment — a cleaning liquid refill service where a delivery person carries a backpack dispenser and refills detergent bottles at homes to reduce plastic waste. Educating customers for this model was difficult, so the company gradually evolved. Today Clenliv manufactures speciality cleaning chemicals used across homes and businesses — including kitchen cleaners, AC cleaners, bathroom cleaners, automobile chemicals, and formulations for other brands. The company currently generates around ₹1.5Cr ARR. Alongside this I’ve always enjoyed building small projects and prototypes: - AI voice apps - campus social media experiments - a self-teaching piano prototype - currently working on AR glasses Through these projects and the business journey I’ve spent a lot of time interacting with founders, lawyers, accountants, designers, operators, and investors. Few patterns I’ve noticed: - People who are building ambitious things often feel isolated in the process. - Progress is slow. - Feedback is limited. - And most of the work happens quietly. That’s why I like having conversations with other builders. These sessions are not consulting calls. They’re open discussions where we can: • brainstorm ideas • think through systems for work and progress • discuss founder psychology and uncertainty • connect you with useful people in my network (lawyers, accountants, designers, operators etc.) I also enjoy speaking with athletes, creators, and people pursuing long-term goals, because the mindset and challenges are often very similar. If you're building something and just want to exchange ideas, feel free to book a slot.
