4x Founder | Solving Cloud Cost & Velocity | Building Tools for Engineers (ZopDev) & Product Teams (Pragmatic Leaders/Ostronaut)
For over 15 years, my work has followed a single pattern: I find systemic friction and build companies to remove it. This journey as a four-time founder has been about creating leverage—first for students and consumers, then for the product and go-to-market teams who build and sell technology, and now for the engineers who run it.
This path started after graduating from IIT Bombay, founding a K-12 edtech venture. It led to building Tushky, an online marketplace backed by 500 Startups, which we scaled to 100+ cities and 5,000 providers.
I later took on senior product leadership roles at high-growth companies like OYO. There, my team led the software side of the critical pivot to an owned-network model, helped launch the Townhouse brand, and scaled our systems across 50,000+ rooms by the end of 2017.
In 2018, I founded Pragmatic Leaders. With backing from Y Combinator, Goodwater Capital, and Harvard Management Company, we grew it into a premier upskilling platform and a community of over 30,000 product managers. I continue to guide the platform and AI strategy there, where our learnings led directly to Ostronaut—an AI-native platform we built to create and scale personalized learning programs, now in use with several large enterprise teams.
This journey now brings me to ZopDev, where I lead the team as CEO. We are tackling the fundamental cloud friction that slows down engineering teams everywhere, from fast-growing startups to groups within the Fortune 500. Our work is centered on two leverage points:
Cost: Our lead product, ZopNight, is a dependency-aware FinOps scheduling tool. It reduces cloud waste on non-production environments without impacting development workflows.
Velocity: ZopDay is our infrastructure orchestration layer that gets teams from a git repo to a production-ready environment in minutes.
My approach is evidence-first. If you're a leader dealing with the trade-offs between cloud cost and velocity, I'm always open to connecting.
