I’m the founder of ownpath, a platform built on a simple belief: talented people should have access to mentorship, opportunities, and the right environment to do their best work. We’re building an ecosystem that helps professionals develop expertise and helps companies design and build great products. The journey started in 2020 with a program for Gojek’s senior designers, helping them transition into design management. In 2021, we launched the Product Design Fellowship, a mentorship-driven program focused on real projects, craft, and community. Fellows from the program have gone on to companies such as Gojek, Jiva, Obvious, and frog. So far Fellows have unlocked ₹2Cr+ in increased compensation through new opportunities. As the community grew, we started helping companies access this talent. In 2022, we launched ownpath Collective, a vetted network connecting companies with high-quality designers. Designers from the network have worked with organizations such as Hero MotoCorp, MIT CSAIL, and PhonePe. In 2025, we launched ownpath Studios, where we design and build digital products for enterprises and select startups. Our work includes design systems, websites, web and mobile applications, AI agents, and companion apps across healthcare, mobility, fintech, and AI. Clients include VIDA (by Hero MotoCorp), Philips Innovation, and realfast.ai. Along the way we have raised $100K+ in angel investment from design and engineering leaders including Abhinit Tiwari (ex Head of Design at Gojek), Sidu Ponnappa, Rahul Gonsalves (Obvious), and Pallav Nadhani (FusionCharts). At its core, ownpath exists to help professionals and teams develop expertise and unlock opportunities.

- Boxoffice: I led the development of event ticketing software, called Boxoffice, from its inception in Jan 2016 to April 2018. Since 2016, it’s been the primary ticketing system for all of HasGeek’s events. This project is open sourced at https://github.com/hasgeek/boxoffice. - Pricing: I was responsible for crafting and implementing HasGeek’s pricing strategy for conference tickets from April 2016 to April 2018. My work involved understanding budgets and the value proposition for HasGeek’s conference attendees, studying competition, and analyzing previous purchasing patterns in order to arrive at a pricing plan for each conference. - Hasjob: Helping architect and develop a key feature that lets users filter job posts and view the filtered job posts instantly.

About

I write about learning/education, product design and development, mentorship, recruitment and my experiences with building ownpath. My experience includes designing and developing software products (especially new products), organising conferences and communities, learning design, launching programs, managing teams, and running a small-sized business. A question that motivates me to work on my company: With increasing automation and career stagnation, we need a system that helps people grow in their careers throughout their lives. How could this system look like?
