Hi, I'm Niraj — 26 · Ahmedabad

I build things that move the world a little forward.

Companies, products, electric vehicles, AI tools, brand systems — and Hindi poetry on the side. I started at 10, on a computer I wasn't supposed to touch. I haven't really stopped since.

Today I run three companies, lead 20+ humans, write code, ride bikes, and lift my own bodyweight at sunrise.

Who I am

A kid from a small home
who refused to wait his turn.

My family couldn't afford much. When my father finally bought a computer, it was for my elder brother. I was 10, told to stay away from it. I didn't.

By 12 I was selling bootable Windows DVDs at mobile-repair stalls — my first money. By 13 I stopped taking pocket money from home. At 14 I won the Gujarat Science Fair with a working generator and got my first newspaper page.

I picked Automotive Engineering over CS at 16a car is a moving box of every technology. In college, my team built India's #1 ranked electric vehicle. Founded my first firm at 17. Started writing Hindi poetry at 18, still publishing.

Now I'm 26. Three companies, thirteen brands, twenty-something teammates, and a quiet stack of government recognitions I rarely lead with. Same hands. Same kid.

The arc · 16 years compressed

From 10 years old to three companies.

Each dot is a real moment — not a flex, just the path that compounded.

Real things shipped — full electric vehicles, multi-portal SaaS platforms, RAG products, brand systems, IoT for heavy industry. A snapshot.

What 16 years of compounding looks like.

Not the polished version. The actual numbers — capability spread, sectors served, growth over time, software fluency.

How I think · operating principles

Four mental models
that compound across companies.

Not abstract philosophy — these are how decisions actually get made when there's no playbook for what comes next.

01

Compound surface area

Every skill stacks. CAD informs SaaS architecture, poetry sharpens pitch copy, EVs teach me about latency. Width is a feature, not a distraction.

02

Substrate over surface

Most things break at the layer no one looks at — schemas, contracts, manufacturing tolerances. Make the substrate boring and the surface can be wild.

03

Speed is honesty

Slow output usually means unclear thinking. If I can't ship a v0 in a week, the spec is wrong, not the deadline.

04

Truth before optics

Govt-validated traction matters more than a pretty deck. The numbers I publish are the same ones I show investors. No two-version reality.

Beyond tech

Builder. But not
only of code.

I don't believe in single-track lives. Renaissance was never about scholarship alone — it was about a complete human. Mind, hands, body, art. That's the standard I work toward.

  • Poet — Hindi verses, published since 18.
  • Athlete — calisthenics at sunrise, body and mind sharp together.
  • Rider — bikes are decompression and discipline.
  • Reader — philosophy, business, design, engineering.
