At the age of 16, with 256 Kbps Internet speed, I started my career as a self-taught graphic designer. 

After landing a few projects, I was hungry to keep learning more, and that's how I landed in web development. 

At the age of 18, while still pursuing my education, I launched my first product around WordPress security, which did wonder. It not only paid for my entire education but helped me become financially independent as a teenager.

However, I exited that project and continued with my college and freelance development. 

At the age of 20, I met my first co-founder Oscar Hernandez (He has been my co-founder ever since in everything that we do), known as Power Up Hosting; I ran the company for over 7-years before exiting. 

At 24, I started India's first PBN Hosting platform, which I later exited in 2017. 

My life changed when I launched my third startup, which failed severely and changed my whole life. 

It taught me some of the most valuable life lessons, including management, team hiring, and more. 

The failure of my third startup gave me the idea of PitchGround (My most successful startup to date, currently valued at $20m as of 2022). PitchGround is a SaaS Marketplace that bridges the gap between early-stage SaaS companies and early adopters, small-medium-sized businesses. 

With over 92% of the SaaS companies failing in the first three years of their business, our mission was to resolve this unresolved market worth over $200 billion. 

During this journey, I met my second co-founder Lukas Liesis, building the company's core foundation. 

Launched PitchGround on the 25th of September 2018, PitchGround has done over $5m in sales as a bootstrapped company, something our entire team is proud of. 

PitchGround has helped hundreds of companies and has seen over 80% of companies succeeding who are launching with us, out of which 15% of the companies can successfully raise capital post launching their SaaS on our platform. 

At PitchGround, we firmly believe in our 3P philosophy for any founder who wants to achieve a product-market fit - Product, People & Pricing (Same format). 

In 2021, I started Angel Investment, and so far, I have invested in 36 startups; I mentor some of them to give back to the community. 

In 2022, I rebuilt my previous failure, known as https://firstsales.io, which is doing $500k ARR in just 5 months.

I have recently started listening to Matt Abrahams podcast Think Fast Talk Smart: The Podcast!

I love the variety of topics on communication that the podcast covers

The best part are the 3 parting questions to all his guests

One of them includes - what is your recipe for effective communication? 

And one thing that comes up in most answers is - clarity

Clarity in your communication is so key! 

What lack of clarity looks like:
→ Rambling explanations
→ Long answers with no takeaway
→ People asking, “So what’s your point?”

What clarity looks like: 
→ Use a simple structure (Point → Reason → Example → Action)
→ Lead with the headline before details
→ Practice summarising ideas in one sentence

So if you are looking at moving ahead in your career in 2026, executive clarity is what you need as a leader

#MondayMotivation Here's a simple yet very useful time management tip - all you need is a paper and a pen! 📝

One of the top things that distract us are other tasks that pop into our heads while we are working. 🤯

In the last minute and a half, I have thought of 2 work related and 2 personal tasks that I need to do. ⏰

Earlier, I'd jump out of the current task, switch tabs or pick up my phone to get some of that done since I've remembered it. 🤦‍♀️

But one simple thing can help steer clear of distractions but also get all those tasks done - Put a pen and a paper next to your laptop 👩‍💻

As soon as something pops in your head, jot it down. And get back to your task at hand. ✍️

Jot down every task that comes to mind - adding something to the grocery list or pay taxes (I have the latter on my list) ✍️

But don't give up on what you are doing at the moment ✅

If I didn't do this, I don't think I'd complete this post after 4 distractive thoughts about work and chores. 🤯

This is highly useful at all times - and especially when you are following the Pomodoro timer - it makes no sense to set 25-minute timers and then jump from task to task

What is your top tip to stay focussed?
