hello_world

Hey there! I'm Anup.

I'm a B.Tech and MBA from NIT-IIM and a product management professional with over 4 years of experience, who loves building things. I have past experience in crafting digital products like websites, software, and mobile apps. Currently, I'm working as a consultant at Takshashila Consulting, Mumbai. Alongside this, I'm always eager to pick up new product creation and development, programming languages, tech stack and frameworks.

I am adaptable and flexible in nature. I enjoy working with others, helping them along the way, and I am focused on a future where I can launch innovative products that address unmet needs and solve real pain points for people.

Additionally, I have a soft spot for music. Composing songs and sharing them has been a fulfilling journey. On the business side, I've started a tech-focused company and another one that's all about positive social change.

If you're curious about software, music, or the blend of tech and business, reach out and connect. Cheers!
