"I build things from scratch and figure them out as I go."
I started as a UI designer, freelancing for about a year before getting pulled deeply into financial markets. I’ve studied price action and market structure since 2021, and today I trade Indian equities while trading forex through prop capital firms like Funding Pips.
In 2023, I founded XTICH (xtich.in), a modern apparel brand. I designed and attempted to launch several initial product lines with real capital investment. Most didn't work out. I ended up making a custom hoodie for myself that never sold a single unit — and that failure taught me far more about supply chains, manufacturing, and pricing than any easy success ever could.
That hard-earned perspective led directly to developing Versity as XTICH’s flagship campus-wear series. Instead of accepting outdated, uncomfortable uniform standards, Versity re-engineers hoodies, polos, jackets, and track pants specifically for Indian schools and PU colleges.
I made hundreds of cold calls across Davanagere, booked in-person meetings, and closed institutional confirmations. After realizing my true alignment lay in real-world business and brand building, I made the clear decision to drop out of my B.Tech in Computer Science and focus on building XTICH full-time.

Why Early Failures Built the Foundation for Versity
"In 2023 I founded XTICH as a direct-to-consumer clothing brand. I designed and tried to launch a few product lines with real investment — most didn’t work. I ended up making a hoodie for myself that never sold, and that failure taught me more about the uniform/apparel supply chain than any success would have. That lesson turned into Versity, XTICH’s flagship series."
Focusing Full-Time on Business & XTICH
"Left my B.Tech in Computer Science in the first semester after identifying a stronger fit with real-world business and entrepreneurship. That decision led directly to building XTICH and launching Versity full-time."
