Who am I and what do I do? I'm building Vexo, a freight marketplace cutting brokers out of road logistics in India, and along the way I've picked up a lot about sales, partnerships, and getting people to trust something new.

Why do I work the way I do? Because building Vexo isn't about getting it right the first time, it's about moving fast, listening hard, and adjusting constantly. Here's how that plays out.

01
Talk to people first
Before building anything, I go talk to the people actually living the problem. Vexo only makes sense because I sat with shippers and carriers before writing a single feature.

02
Build fast, test faster
I'd rather ship something imperfect and learn from real usage than wait for a version that's never coming. The MVP went live early on purpose.

03
Let the data decide
Customer discovery isn't a one-time step for me, it's ongoing. I track what shippers and carriers actually do, not just what they say, and let that shape what gets built next.

04
Say it plainly
No jargon, no overexplaining. If I can't explain what Vexo does in one sentence to someone outside the industry, I haven't understood the problem well enough yet.

What have I actually completed? A handful of UCL Innovation & Enterprise certifications, all picked up while building Vexo, not for credit, just because I needed the skills.
