About Me

A generalist who is thrilled about solving problems, helping and inspiring others.

Nandagopal

I've always been that curious kid who asked way too many questions. Nothing excites me more than diving into the unknown. I loved solving puzzles, imagining futuristic tech (even before Iron Man made it cool), and getting lost in magical stories and alternate worlds.

Though I once dreamed of becoming a scientist, I figured being an entrepreneur was an even better gig — I could build cool stuff and hire scientists!

After studying Computer Science, I discovered programming was just another form of problem-solving — and I was hooked. I started building apps, experimenting, failing, and learning.

My entrepreneurial journey hasn't been a straight line. I've launched ventures with zero experience, taken on debt, made mistakes, pivoted, freelanced to survive, and spotted real gaps in the market. Eventually, I built a tech company from scratch, grew it into a full-service consultancy, and expanded into a global venture studio.

Now, I help startups design, build, and scale impactful tech — and I'm also building a few product companies of my own.

It hasn't been easy — and that's the point. Every failure taught me something school never could. And I wouldn't trade that for anything.
