This page chronicles my entrepreneurial journey through five innovative startups, each representing different phases of technology evolution and market opportunities:
Boom Labs (2021-2022)#
A London-based blockchain infrastructure company that bridged Web2 and Web3 through innovative MPC wallet technology and multi-chain API solutions. Despite securing $2.5M in pre-product commitments and partnerships with public companies, it provided valuable lessons about timing and market readiness in the blockchain space.
ExpressMOJO (2017-2019)#
A New Delhi-based venture that revolutionized India’s transportation industry through technology. The platform connected fleet owners and transporters, building a network of over 3,000 partners and demonstrating the potential for digital transformation in traditional industries.
Octo.ai (2016-2017)#
A pioneering machine learning platform that democratized AI tools for developers and businesses. Recognized as one of Delhi’s top 10 promising startups, Octo.ai made significant contributions to the open-source community and became an educational resource for universities teaching ML concepts.
Jaja.tv (2010-2012)#
An Austin-based second-screen technology pioneer that transformed TV engagement through platforms like thesofa.tv and jaja.tv. Built with cutting-edge technologies including Node.js and real-time features, it was ahead of its time in predicting the future of interactive media consumption.
Kwippy (2008-2010)#
My first startup, a revolutionary IM-integrated microblogging platform that became one of India’s top 5 micro-blogging sites. Recognized in DataQuest’s Top 25 Indian Web 2.0 Start-ups, Kwippy successfully exited through acquisition by a US firm, marking an early milestone in India’s social media landscape.
Each startup represents not just a business venture, but a story of innovation, learning, and adaptation. While some achieved successful exits and others provided valuable lessons, all contributed to shaping my understanding of technology entrepreneurship and market dynamics.
