yash mandi.
i'm 24, grew up in pune, maharashtra, but originally from a small town in karnataka. studied cs at a tier-2 college and have been working since 2019. I moved between sales, customer support, marketing, and freelancing before settling on what excites me most: building things.
currently, i serve as the CTO & founding engineer at OneClarity, an AI-based B2B productivity platform for enterprises.
some things about me
- i like to build stuff, and i want to build more.
- i write blogs, mostly about tech, and life sometimes (which i don't publish).
- i like to read & i mostly listen to podcasts.
- i listen to a lot of music.
- i'm a reluctant user of social media and currently only use twitter (sometimes).
some things i believe
- be a generalist, not a specialist. being average at 3 things > being good at 1 thing.
- take on more challenges, in life particularly. there's no point in competing if you don't want to be the best.
- the cure to loneliness is being extremely ambitious.
- hire fast, fire faster.
- anyone can pick any skill and be top 1% in 4 months.
- smaller teams are better. faster decisions, fewer meetings, more fun.
- regrets are for pussies. shit happens, deal with it.
- the work that hurts you less than it hurts others, is the work you're born to do.
- health, wealth & good relationships, pursue them in that order.
- be rich and anonymous, not poor and famous.
- nothing happens, and nothing happens, and then everything happens at once (power of compounding).
- keep building things. 99% of the stuff you build, will fail, but eventually it will compound to a greater level.
i will probably add more to this soon- meanwhile feel free to say hi on my e-mail
