About

Founder of QuizzR — building competitive quiz experiences for India šŸ‡®šŸ‡³ I've spent the last decade optimizing digital products for scale, scaling gaming platforms to 1.1L DAU, and strategizing AI use-cases that drove $15M+ in ARR impact. But I realized the best learning happens when you build something yourself. So I built QuizzR — a mobile quiz app where speed, skill, and real competition actually matter. Daily leaderboards reset every midnight. Challenge rooms are live. Your rank gets wiped clean every day. Passionate about: → Building products people can't put down → Competitive mechanics that drive engagement → India's tech ecosystem → GenAI + Product strategy IIM Calcutta | IIEST Shibpur Always happy to chat product, strategy, or gaming mechanics.

What was the hardest thing you've experienced in business?

Everyone perceives entrepreneurship completely differently, and the weight of certain challenges varies from case to case. You always see things differently depending on the stage of life and business you're in, because your position is different each time.

  • When I was a teenager my biggest problem was "What will people think of me when I will start doing this?"

  • In my early twenties my biggest problem was "What if I can't figure out accounting, taxes, legal stuff?"

  • Now I have a different problem how do I scale something?

SpaceX acquires Cursor for $60B — biggest startup exit ever in just 4 years?

Just saw reports that SpaceX acquired Cursor in an all-stock deal valued at $60 billion.

This is one of the most insane startup outcomes we've ever seen:

  • Cursor was founded only ~4 years ago.

  • The reported price tag would make it one of the largest startup acquisitions in history.

  • It went from "just a VS Code wrapper" jokes to becoming the default AI coding tool for a huge number of developers.

  • SpaceX/xAI would instantly gain access to one of the most valuable datasets in AI: how millions of developers actually write, edit, debug, and ship code.

What's the messiest folder on your computer right now?

For me, it's usually Downloads.

Thousands of screenshots, random PDFs, ZIP files, invoices, images, and files named things like:
