About Me

Hi, I am Rushabh.

Here’s what’s been up:

• 2016: Started studying Information Technology at SRM University, Chennai. First time living far from home.
• 2020: Began my career as a Software Engineer (Testing) at Commvault Systems.
• 2022: Moved into DevOps at Hevo Data.
• 2023: Left my job to pursue entrepreneurship full-time at Entrepreneur First.
• 2024: Started VedVaani, scaled it into one of the Top 100 Grossing apps in India, and sold it to Brahmveda Ventures.
• 2024: Started SEOExpert AI, an agency to learn and help founders with SEO and marketing.
• 2025: Joined Antler and started building Comarketer - AI Websites & Ads for founders to launch & market faster.

It hasn’t been easy. I struggle with anxiety and staying disciplined. Maybe it’s the cost of taking risks and being ambitious.

I have serious moments of genius, and when I get to working hard, no one can beat me. I am not being pompous either.

I write infrequently about tech, business, and abstract personal experiences.

Some of the earlier posts are amatuer and cringe. I used to write like AI before it was (un)cool. Newer ones are just plain cringe.

PS: I’ve skipped over a lot of failed attempts and smaller wins that shaped me just as much. Left them out here for brevity.

• Sep 16, 2025 The Secondary Effect of AI: More Entrepreneurs

  Every technological shift has a strange kind of second-order effect. With AI, everyone talks about productivity, cost savings, and automation. But the biggest effect won’t be inside large companies. It will be in how many more people decide to start something on their own.

• Jul 21, 2025 Guide to hire developers as a Founder

  This is the third time I am starting from scratch and looking to hire developers. The first time was in 2020, just out of college myself. Along with a friend, I filtered through a lot of LinkedIn profiles and took a lot of interviews to find a dev who was in the 2nd year of college. His name was Ashutosh, and he was a 10x dev (he got into MotorQ after he graduated). We hired a couple more fellows after that, but they weren’t as good.

• Jul 07, 2023 Time Is Not Linear

  As we move faster, our perception of time tends to slow down. It is important to move fast if we want to create a substantial positive impact through our work. Just moving fast is not enough though.

  As is said in classics, reflecting on the past leads to action in the future. The past year, as always, had exceptional results compared to the efforts I had put in and following are the things that I am most grateful for.

• Aug 26, 2019 Story of a Billion Dreams

  A fortnight ago, I and my friends went on a three-day trip to Bangalore. The Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Bangalore was organising an entrepreneurship summit over the weekend. It was one of those rare occasions when even the most hodophobic person amongst us was excited about the trip. Though I must mention that I and my friends took this trip to savour two different career paths. My friends were excited to visit their dream institute whereas I was keen about interacting with various entrepreneurs there.

• Jun 03, 2017 The Fall of AI

  A Few decades ago when humans recognized the mystery of how the mind of the most intelligent species on the planet evolves, they probably invented something which is dubbed as last human invention needed ever.

• May 07, 2017 There is an implausible set up of the technical education system in our country

  While the capacity of the youth has helped the country to reach new heights, it is constantly being curbed by the prevalent system. For instance, after developing a fair interest in programming a student takes up science stream for his higher secondary education. Now apart for any Indian, the above sentence would seem quite juxtaposed. Why take science stream if you want to study programming? Here lies the unnoticed problem of our education system.
