About

I have been very lucky to start my journey early - I have been in tech since I was 12 and have been fortunate to work on a lot of things from side projects to serious startups. I got my first job at 16 and started my first company when I was 17. After high school, I decided not to go to college so I can build things I love full-time.

I now spend most of my time working on Induced with some of my best friends. We are a small and ambitious team with amazing backers. If you are a young ambitious hacker, you should consider joining us!

I currently fly between Mumbai, Bangalore and San Francisco. Best way to reach me is twitter DMs or hey [at] ayush [dot] sh. I go by @ayshptk on most places online.
