About me

I'm Ashish Sontakke, a builder and entrepreneur based in Pune, India. I spend my time building products that sit at the intersection of AI and everyday work.

Currently, I'm running two companies: Zivaro, which helps teams run structured async video interviews, and Redon, a multi-model AI search tool that lives in your browser.

Before starting companies, I worked as an engineer building trading systems, mobile apps, and data pipelines. That experience taught me how important it is to build software that actually works for real people.

I believe in building in public, shipping fast, and learning from users. Most of what I know came from making things and watching how people use them.
