Hello / Namaste

I’m Prakhar Shivam, a self-taught designer and writer currently based in India.

I grew up in a small town called Jaunpur which is situated in Uttar Pradesh, India. While growing up as a teen, I consumed content around pop culture and tech on the internet which opened up a world of possibilities beyond my immediate surrounding.

When I joined college, I started losing interest because of the archaic teaching methods. The disappointment pushed me to discover more about myself, and that is when I got exposed to personality psychology and a little bit of philosophy.

At the time, I got my first taste of startups when I participated in the Startup Weekend, a three-day program organised by Techstars in New Delhi to form a team, ideate and pitch an idea around a theme.

In 2017, I eventually dropped out of college and started learning about product design, tech and entrepreneurship.
