People who haven’t shipped anything in their life don’t know that 10pm is actually early! It takes much more than that - an incredible amount of work to make, build & launch something people want. Best engineers never look at the clock, they are in it for the pure fun & joy of…
It’s 10pm and the entire office is alive. No one told them to stay. Blessed to be working with a team of owners. We are looking for great people to join us!
Doing it to build.
Were you doing it to build, or were you building to get the trappings of success? To be the cool kid at parties? For the likes? Reorient. You get to build. You can build whatever you want. Show your love for the world through the problems you solve and the product you make.
Congrats @lkeshre and the entire team at @_groww for an incredible IPO 🎉 From the early Eduflix days in 2012 and seeing you up close when we were 20-year-old founders building @HackerEarth, to bumping along the journey of @codingal and seeing how grounded you always are - you…
Had the dreaded “Got a sec?” moment recently. Always heart wrenching! But I also look at these moments to learn deeply about a specific business function, and then upgrade the team with new hire.
We spend $2000 (~1.6 Lakh) per month on @codingal’s office rent in Bangalore. It’s scrappy and stripped to essentials - just what’s needed to build. Visitors are often shocked when they see how much we’ve scaled from such a humble setup. But we like to keep it that way. I…
Building a startup is the most humbling experience one can have, over and over again, in their life.
Turns out viral content doesn’t make up for poor product or bad PMF. Many of us saw live demonstration of it in 2025 - good that there was a closure on this topic before the year ended.
There is no killer marketer than a founder, especially in early stages. In this case, hire a great engineer, cut down your coding time from 80% to 30% and spend the time saved on distribution and sales.
You’re a solo founder. You can only hire one: – Killer marketer – Rockstar engineer Who gets the job?
Last 2 months of 2025. Time to push, more than ever before. Entire team at @codingal is in sprint mode. One of the things I am doing and asking leadership to also do is try all past ideas (failed or experimental) again with an open mind. Never know what will stick again at this…
Belief. Patience. Persistence. World champions @BCCIWomen 🎉 #WomensWorldCup2025
Our annual revenue at @codingal has grown to 2x the total capital we have raised so far. Building sustainably, one step at a time.
My biggest learning in last 5 years has been that nothing prepares you for the job of a CEO. Not previous startup experience, not writing hundreds of thousands of lines of code, not doing sales, not leading, managing, or reading books. Nothing. For ex, today I was writing code…
The privilege to do what I love doing, while @codingal keeps growing. Profitable. Building in founder mode.
Takes like these are just cringe at this point. Every programmer/engineer knows better.
SaaS companies from pre-2021 or so that are >not< founder-led I see really struggling right now You have to find the AI-native company in you That's often a full reboot of how and what you build ... along with keeping your existing 1000s of customers happy Not easy Especially…
Sometimes you don’t raise money and your startup dies Sometimes you raise too much money and your startup dies It’s just one more way to die. There are 1001 ways. It’s not the most important question. The most important question is: did you make something people want?
🚀 Just got a DM from the @hackunited_ student crew behind United Hacks V5 and we’re buzzing! The 48-hour, worldwide, virtual hack fest is LIVE right now (12–13 July 2025) and they still have open seats.
