Early 2021 ยท CTO & Co-Founder

STANDARDE โ€” democratising retail placement

In early 2021 I co-founded STANDARDE as CTO โ€” building India's Retail 4.0 company with the world's first AI-powered retail search engine. We created a direct-to-retail channel so brands could discover, target, and win placement in kirana and grocery stores that had never been reachable through data before.

We were among the first movers in offline retail intelligence โ€” and we remain one of the only teams that tried to democratise placement spots in this industry: opening shelf visibility, store partnerships, and in-store discovery to brands beyond legacy distributor networks.

Slackly โ€” democratising enterprise support

In 2025 I founded Slackly as Founder & CTO โ€” turning the Slack workspace your team opens every morning into a full customer support hub. Live chat, file sharing, ticket ownership, and AI insights โ€” all in-channel, without standing up another helpdesk inbox.

Slackly democratises enterprise-grade support for startups, young brands, and service companies: the workflows big companies use, without per-seat SaaS lock-in or a duplicate command centre. Support happens where your clients already collaborate.
