Hi, I'm Rinkesh.

I build things. Usually products, sometimes communities, occasionally experiments I'm too excited about to leave alone.

I've spent the last several years building software products from scratch, starting with real problems, working with real users, and figuring things out as I go.

Most of my work has been early-stage: when the brief is vague, the team is small, and the only way forward is to get your hands dirty. That's the part I like most.

I tend to prefer doing over planning. Not always the wisest approach, but it keeps things honest.

Most of my time right now goes into building things.

Two live: KnowYourPay and Product Sense Lab. Both started as questions I kept running into and couldn't find good answers to. So I built them.

I also spend time on AI, less around the hype and more around where it actually saves real time in real work. The kind people don't make YouTube tutorials about.

Savior Founder · 2017–2020 Acquired by Zocdoc

Hospitals don't need more software. They need software that fits how they actually work.

I spent months inside hospitals before writing a single line of a spec. Not observing from the outside, but actually inside on the floor learning how care runs versus how it reads on paper. That gap became the product.

I owned the product from discovery to adoption, building operations and preventive-care software that hospital teams used daily. After three years of robust growth, the company was acquired by Zocdoc in 2020.

Career Leap Founder · 2020–2023 Shut down

The skills that actually shape your career aren't taught anywhere.

We built a community-first learning platform to fix that. It started as a WhatsApp group and quickly grew to 10,000 users in six months. We launched a mobile learning app that hit 100k+ watch hours and scaled the core community to over 3,500 active members.

After talking to users, we pivoted to live cohorts. We maintained a 40% completion rate (the industry average is 5-10%) by adding gamification that lifted session times by 50% and doubled retention. We ran this tight ship with just a 3-person team, producing ₹15L in revenue while testing a B2B model alongside 2 companies.

We shut it down in 2023 when the unit economics didn't work at scale.
