Born and brought up in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad), Maharashtra, India – and these days, you’ll find me hopping between Miraj and Chh. Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad). Both are small, vibrant towns tucked away in Maharashtra, the largest state in India. I work remotely, so I get to call both of them home (at least for now).

If you’re reading this, you’re probably the curious type – just like I was (and still am).

Welcome. You’ve found the page where I rewind my journey – right from the first day I used the internet, all the way to today.

This isn’t any usual About page. I’ve tried to keep it concise, but sometimes stories need a little extra room to breathe. And yes, every word here is written by me personally (refined by ai).

So, pull up a chair (maybe grab a chai or coffee), and let’s start at the very beginning…

From Curiosity to Creation: The Start of It All (2016)

I wasn’t exactly the “topper of the class” kind of kid. I was more the type to take things apart – just to see how they worked – even if I couldn’t always put them back together. But while grades didn’t excite me much, numbers did. They started making sense to me before school did – probably because my grandparents taught me that math could be fun. Looking back, it was that quiet curiosity – not the report cards – that truly set me on the path toward technology.

The spark grew only stronger in 2016, when everything changed. I was in 9th grade when India suddenly got access to super-fast, affordable internet,  thanks to Jio. For a kid already obsessed with tech, it felt like the world had just opened up. What came next was obvious to me-I launched a YouTube channel. I made videos about gadgets, how-tos, reviews, and anything remotely tech-related. By the time school wrapped up, I’d uploaded over 100 videos. Looking back, they weren’t perfect (not even close!), But they were mine. That was the first time I realised what it felt like to make something and put it out there

2018: My shift to WordPress

After high school, I began a diploma course and kept up with YouTube, but I was eager to earn something for myself. As much as I loved making videos, YouTube didn’t pay much at that stage-so I began looking for more reliable ways to create and grow. That’s when I discovered blogging and began turning my video ideas into written articles using Blogger.

The blog didn’t take off overnight, but it gave me something even better-exposure to what was possible. Pretty soon, I started running into Blogger’s limitations. A friend introduced me to WordPress around that time, and looking back, it was a turning point.

From the moment I started using WordPress in 2018, I was hooked. It quickly became my favourite tool-not just for blogging, but for building things. I didn’t know it then, but it eventually would become the foundation of my entire business. And I still love how easy and flexible it is to build websites with WordPress. Once I got the hang of it, I started freelancing – building websites, helping small businesses get online. It started small. Just a few clients, a few late nights. Building a full website in just 7 days for a client was one of my first real tests. It pushed me to my limits-but also proved what I could do when I gave it everything.

2019: WebiSharp Begins –  And So Do the Big Leaps

After pulling off that intense 7-day website project, things started clicking. The idea for building an agency (Which is WebiSharp today) began to take shape. I was still juggling my diploma classes, but I had also started leading a small group of freelancers like me-we each had our gigs, but teamed up when needed. Our mission was simple: build useful websites that actually helped clients.

2020: The Pandemic, New Skills, and Making WebiSharp Official

When the pandemic hit in 2020, I was in my second year of my diploma, stuck at home like everyone else. But instead of letting the year slip by, I decided to make a big move: on April 4, I officially launched WebiSharp.I was young, clueless about finding clients or making sales – but absolutely determined to learn it all.

The major highlight of that year was getting to work with Anmol Jaiswal, better known as Indian Backpacker, a well-known YouTuber. I helped set up his online store, Gamesouk.in, where he sold custom-built PCs. It was a huge step up from anything I’d done before. I wasn’t just building website anymore – I was learning how to keep it running under real traffic.

That same year, I joined a 6-month internship with Digital Deepak, which turned out to be a game-changer. It taught me more than just web design – things like business tools, networking, webinars, and the mindset behind running something of your own. Inspired, I even started a YouTube series, Learn WordPress with Me, to share what I knew.

Between classes, client work, and late-night learning, I grew fast. I started to understand the bigger picture – marketing, planning, finance, daily operations, even legal stuff. Looking back, 2020 wasn’t just the year WebiSharp went official-it was the year I truly stepped into entrepreneurship.

2021-2022: Finishing School, Growing WebiSharp, and Official Steps

2021 and 2022 brought some big milestones. I wrapped up my diploma, jumped straight into a B.Tech, and poured all my energy into growing WebiSharp – putting YouTube on pause for a while. In those two years, we worked with 15+ clients from all kinds of industries, each project teaching me something new about how different businesses tick.

The biggest leap came in August 2021, when I officially registered WebiSharp as a business – completed with GST registration and all the legal steps. Filing my first income tax return was oddly thrilling-it was the moment WebiSharp stopped feeling like a side hustle and started feeling like a real business.

2023: Almost a Career Change

By 2023, my interest in money had grown into something bigger. Between running WebiSharp and my Bachelor’s studies, I found myself diving deep into investing – mutual funds, stocks, even a bit of trading. The more I learned, the more I wondered if finance should be my full-time path. I even looked into taking the CFA exam. But after countless conversations with people in the field, I realised I enjoyed managing my own and my family’s investments more than making it my career. WebiSharp stayed my main focus, with finance as a passion I could call my own.

2024: From Graduation to Product Management

I wrapped up my Bachelor’s in Technology in June 2024, ready to give WebiSharp my full attention. But somewhere along the way, I discovered a new fascination – product management, especially in the software space. I figured the best way to learn it was to jump right in at a company already building amazing products. So, I set my sights on landing a Product Manager role. By October, I’d joined Brainstorm Force – a big name in the WordPress world, known for products like Astra and Spectra that power millions of sites. Now, weekdays are for shaping products at Brainstorm Force, and weekends are for running WebiSharp, leading my team, and building digital tools for clients.

2025: Giving Back and Going Global

2025 kicked off with something special – finally giving back to the WordPress community that’s given me so much. I spoke at WordCamp Kolhapur, then jumped right into contributing to the WordPress project itself – contrbuting in the core 6.8 release, the Photos directory, and even translations.

This year also brought a huge first for me: my first-ever international trip. WordCamp Asia took me to the Philippines, and thanks to a layover, I even got to wander around Vietnam for a bit.

Meanwhile, at Brainstorm Force, the product I work on – OttoKit – had a big year. We rolled out AI Agents, Human-in-the-Loop processes, and MCP servers, plus pulled off a full rebrand from SureTriggers to OttoKit. Being part of that growth (and chaos) has been incredibly exciting.

My Golden Rule: Do What’s Right

One thing my parents drilled into me from the start was simple – do things the right way. Ethically. Legally. Transparently. Whether I’m making YouTube videos, running WebiSharp, investing, or working at my job today, that’s always been my compass. The goal isn’t just to make more money – it’s to build something I can be proud of.

And that’s my story… so far. If you ever want to talk ai, automation, tech, product, personal finance, or the capital market, head over to my contact page and book a call. I’m always up for a good conversation (bonus points if you bring coffee, haha kidding).

I keep this page fresh, so drop by again in a few months to see what’s new. You can also check out my perosnal blog ↗, where I post something new every now and then.

भेटूया पुन्हा! (“See you again” in Marathi, the language I grew up speaking.) And if you made it this far, thanks for reading my little corner of the internet – you’ve officially earned a virtual high-five. ✋
