Founder at Yantraa

## About

Colab is building an autonomous AI creative workforce\. Today, high quality design depends on fragmented tools, freelancers, or expensive agencies\. It is slow, inconsistent, and difficult to scale\. Colab replaces this with an AI system that executes the full creative workflow: strategy → research → concept → design → quality check It behaves like a real creative team, not a tool\. Why this matters: Design is no longer just execution\. It drives growth, positioning, and revenue\. Yet most companies cannot access top tier creative thinking at scale\. Colab changes that\. Why me: I have spent years leading creative teams, shipping real work, and understanding how design actually gets done across brands, agencies, and teams\. Colab is built from that ground reality, not theory\. Early traction: • 100\+ active beta users • 10,000\+ waitlist • 5000\+ Designs published • 90% Positive Feedback from beta users We are building a future where AI does the heavy lifting, and humans focus on direction and taste\. If you are building, investing, or want early access, reach out\.
