Two ongoing commitments.
The longer arc
Since 2007.
For a long time, I treated being early and being misunderstood as badges of honour. Sometimes that led to original work. Sometimes it meant arriving before the market and running out of money, energy or interest while it caught up.
I still want to work ahead of consensus. I no longer confuse distance from the market with progress.
Tushky
India’s first leisure experiences marketplace. 500 Startups, Batch 6. It arrived years before Airbnb Experiences. It shut down.

As Product Head, I led the shift in OYO’s operating model.
Pragmatic Leaders
I returned to education with a product and technology leadership company. YC W21. More than 10,000 professionals trained.
Zopdev and Ostronaut
Cloud software and AI systems get most of my time now. Pragmatic Leaders and Side B continue alongside them.
