About

I'm Abhishek Sarda, currently a Co-Founder of a startup in stealth mode. My career has been defined by the 'zero-to-one journey,' having led the development of payment and credit products at Creditail and worked on the product team at Ola Electric. I hold a Dual Degree from IIT Kharagpur, where I developed a love for playing with numbers and solving complex problems through data. I'm deeply passionate about product growth, user experience, and the evolving Indian consumer AI landscape. I love interacting with different cultures and people, and I'm always happy to share my experiences in fintech, EVs, and scaling early-stage operations. I'm currently looking to connect with anyone exploring consumer AI trends in India or building innovative products from the ground up.
