The person behind the notebook

Hey, I'm Aditya.

I build products and businesses. And I keep coming back to the same question: how can technology make things work better?

A little background.

My work sits at the intersection of product, engineering, business, and growth. Over the last 14 years, I've built systems for real-time communication, media streaming, code compilation, and social networks.

I co-founded an EdTech company that grew to $2 million in annual recurring revenue without external funding. Systems I designed and scaled have served more than 20 million unique users.

Those experiences shape how I think about technology: what it makes possible, where it falls short, and what it takes for people to actually benefit from it.

What I'm building.

I run OLN Labs, where we use AI to solve business problems and grow revenue. We bring business, product, technology, and go-to-market thinking together, and take ownership of building, running, and improving the solution.

What I write about.

This notebook has two ongoing series. AI_First_World looks at how AI changes the way we work, build, and live. Ideas for India explores how technology can help India solve real-life problems and move forward.

You can also find me in conversations about building products, technology, and the work behind them.
