Modernizing 30 year old enterprise tech

About

I spent a decade buying enterprise software. Most of it didn't survive contact with how teams actually work. Before that also, I built it, a dozen products in twenty months. Then Head of Digital Transformation at Prism Johnson and Orient Cement, sitting on a $5 Mn (₹35cr tech budget), watching good software go unused. Adoption doesn't fail on features. It fails because every tool assumes a maintainer someone who grooms the board and chases status. A ten-person team doesn't have that person. So the board goes stale and work moves back to WhatsApp. WorkElate is an AI-native office suite for teams of 5–50. Tasks, mail, chat, docs, sheets, calendar one data model, so an instruction in chat becomes an owned task that follows itself up.

Hi PH building WorkElate and learning from fellow makers

Hi everyone, I m Chitransh founder of bootstrapped startup WorkElate.

I m building WorkElate, an AI-native workplace and productivity product. My work sits at the intersection of product strategy, GTM, and AI workflows for teams.

I joined Product Hunt because I enjoy seeing how other makers validate ideas, find early users, and turn feedback into a better product. I m especially keen to learn from founders who have launched productivity, B2B SaaS, or AI products here.

One question I m curious about: what was the most useful feedback you received before or during your first Product Hunt launch and how did it change the product or launch?

What’s the most expensive “invisible work” your team does every week?

I keep noticing that a surprising amount of work isn t the work itself it s the coordination around it:

  • Chasing status updates across chats, docs, meetings, and task tools

  • Re-explaining decisions because context is scattered

  • Turning strategy into execution plans manually

  • Realizing a project is blocked only after a deadline slips

  • Following up on owners, dependencies, and next steps

We ve been thinking about this deeply while building WorkElate, an AI-native workspace designed to help teams connect strategy, planning, execution, and context in one place.

But I m more interested in how other teams experience it:

Should every founder become a content creator?

Founders are expected to do more than just build a product today :

Build in public.

Post on LinkedIn.

Make videos.
