Selected Work
NM Attendance
Student analytics platform that spread organically through WhatsApp. I was tracking my own college attendance because the portal was broken. Built a tool to automate what took an hour every week, shared it with my batch, and watched it spread across Mumbai's college network.
Read more →By morning, every batch in the college was using it. By the following week, students at sister colleges had found it. 57,000+ students across Mumbai's college network now use something I built with GPT-3.5 to solve my own problem. It wasn't planned—just a broken system, a fix, and word of mouth.
Visit NM Attendance →MACRO & micro
Research newsletter on trade policy. Analyzed why India crossed decades of red lines on the EU-India FTA. Most coverage focused on tariff schedules. I wanted to understand why.
Read more →Dug into WTO dysfunction, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, and geopolitical hedging strategies. The conclusion: this deal is strategic insurance against multilateral system collapse, not traditional trade liberalization. 3,000 words trying to find the "why" behind the "what."
Read on Substack →Operational Automation
End-to-end system for Raj Software's 100+ franchise network. Scheduling, Zoom automation, attendance parsing, certificate generation, NLP chatbot for non-technical staff. Saves roughly 8 hours every week.
Read more →The coordinator was managing everything through WhatsApp messages and Excel sheets. Built the whole pipeline, then added a natural language chatbot so she could control everything by simply asking. Handed it off. Still running daily.
The AI Starter Kit
141-page practical AI guide. Written when ChatGPT had just launched and most people were still treating it as a novelty. Self-published on Amazon. Adopted as course material.
Read more →Covered prompting techniques, workflow integration, tools beyond ChatGPT, and an ethical framework. Got the chance to present it to Union Minister Piyush Goyal at the Commerce & Industry Ministry—still can't quite believe that happened.
Final Progress
Gamified productivity system for CA Final prep. Excel VBA, Google Sheets, Apps Script, web dashboard. 25 weeks straight. 2,200+ hours tracked.
Read more →The question was: am I actually studying or just planning to study? Head-to-head competition with a friend, real stakes. The data revealed things about my own patterns I didn't want to hear, which is exactly why it worked.
Early Automation
First articleship at KNAV India. US Tax work with 100+ subsidiary entities. Built script-based automations before GPT existed. When ChatGPT launched, I immediately saw how it could amplify what I was already doing.
Read more →The pattern that started everything: notice inefficiency, build a fix. Complex ownership structures, multi-entity coordination, and a lot of manual work. Kept seeing patterns. Kept building solutions.
