## About

Founder of Maachis \(maachis\.art\) — India's first premium matchbox art brand, and the fullest expression of everything I do\. From a single overlooked object, I've built a brand, a product line, a supply chain, and a 50K\+ community with zero paid marketing\. Before Maachis, I led design and strategy for Spindle by Synapsica \(YC Backed\), an AI tool reducing turnaround time for radiologists\. Before that, I owned product and growth end to end at FlashPrep — the levers, the channels, the conversion, the retention\. I started nine years ago as a Graphic Designer at Hike, moved into brand and community at MPL, then consulted for brands and startups before FlashPrep\. Design taught me how things look\. Brand taught me why they matter\. Product taught me how they work\. Maachis is where all three finally meet\.
