818 & Co.

Founder

Founded 818 & Co. to take an idea from a napkin to a working business. Solo at the start, owning product, brand, and execution end to end. A studio for the things I want to build and put my name on.

Who I am

Final-year B.Tech (CSE) at BIT Mesra — but just as at home shipping code, running ops, designing the deck, or starting a company. I'd rather build the thing than only talk about it.

Where I'm headed

Building Nivya and 818 & Co. while staying open to founders, operators, and investors who care about making things that actually matter at the intersection of technology, business, and people.
