The Blessing of Not Succeeding (Immediately)

Sometimes, not being successful is the biggest blessing. If my first set of apps had blown up, I might’ve ended up embarrassing myself in front of a lot of people. They simply weren’t ready. They had no traction, and at the time it stung — but in hindsight, that quiet failure gave me something invaluable: time.

Time to experiment.

Time to learn the craft of building apps.

Time to understand what actually matters in personal knowledge management.

Over this long stretch of learning, something unexpected happened. I realised the perfect to-do app for me… had to be built by me.

So here I am on my second attempt — older, wiser, and far more confident. I’ve completely rebuilt my note-taking app from scratch. This time, it’s voice-first. You speak your note; the app automatically transcribes it and files it into the right project and the right bucket.

The buckets are simple and actionable:

Today | This Week | Next Week | This Month | Next Month | Someday

If you’d like to try it, there’s a 7-day free trial. It’s currently a progressive web app, and I’d genuinely appreciate your feedback as I prepare it for the App Store.

I’ll Audit Your GTM Strategy for Free

In the past few weeks, I’ve consulted around 10 startups through an accelerator on their go-to-market strategy. And I’ve realised something: most founders deeply understand their product, but very few have a clear picture of whether their GTM economics actually make sense.

So I built a simple process.

Fill out a short form with details about your channels and costs. Using that, I calculate your LTV:CAC ratio and give you a clear verdict on whether your GTM strategy is healthy or headed toward trouble.

This is a free report, no strings attached.

The only thing I ask is that we get on a quick call afterward — the numbers are useful, but interpreting them is where the real value lies.

I Wrote a Novel in 30 Days

Somewhere between building apps and consulting startups, I did something unexpected: I wrote a novel.

It’s a fast, 270-page fiction piece you can finish in under four hours. I wrote the first draft in 30 days, and it became a story I’m genuinely proud of.

The book follows a Mumbai billionaire and his daughter, who carries a secret burden: occult knowledge that shapes — and complicates — her privileged life. It’s a story about power, privilege, and the hidden costs of knowing too much.

I’ve made it free to read and download:

And if you want to support my writing, you can also purchase the print edition.

Want to Write a Book? I Can Help.

Finishing and publishing my novel in 30 days — and releasing it worldwide — gave me a strange kind of confidence: I now know I can write a book in just 10 days.

Yes, it’s AI-enabled. Yes, it’s AI-supported. But the system works. And you can use it too.

If you’ve always wanted to write a book, or if you already have an idea, I’d be happy to show you exactly how I did it. And if you want me to ghostwrite your book, I can help with that as well.
