About
AVR. The longer story.
The bio
I'm 25, based in Chennai, and I'm building Donum because every services business I know loses a week every month to writing the same monthly client report. I also run Realm by Rook, a service company that keeps me close to the kind of problems Donum has to solve.
On the side I host two podcasts: Startup Stories and Sports29. The conversations I needed when I started weren't being recorded. I run a small foundation called the Aravindh Initiative in Chennai. I shoot a recurve bow on weekends.
If you're building something hard, get in touch. The best conversations start with “I need a second opinion on…”
What I'm building
One product. One service company.
Donum
Reporting that writes itself.
A reporting SaaS for MSPs, IT services firms, and agencies. Pulls from monitoring, ticketing, and time tracking. Drafts in your voice. Ran inside Realm for 60 days. 16x faster.

Also
The Aravindh Initiative.
I run a small foundation in Chennai focused on blood donation drives, animal rescue, and community work. It started in 2019. It stays small on purpose. I keep it separate from the companies because the goals are different and that's the right way to run both.
