── ABOUT ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
name .......... Prayush Jain
aka ........... jainprayush9, PJ
role .......... Investor & Entrepreneur
also .......... Engineering @ CleverTap
location ...... Mumbai, India (IN)
from .......... Udaipur, Rajasthan
education ..... B.Tech CSE, KIIT University
mission ....... On a mission to make this world a better place.

I'm Prayush — an investor and entrepreneur from Udaipur, Rajasthan, now based in Mumbai. I studied Computer Science at KIIT, and I still ship production software at CleverTap while I build the judgment and the audience that every serious builder needs first.

The most useful things I've learned were never in the documentation. They were the things nobody writes down: how interviews actually go, why releases break, how to think about money before you have any, and what changes after years of doing the work out loud.

So I publish. Essays on engineering, careers, and investing. Videos on Mumbai and what life looks like while you build. Same instinct behind both — think it through in public.

This site is the home base. Labs will hold the NGOs, manufacturing, and companies when they're live and worth opening. Until then: the work, the writing, and the direction.

── CURRENTLY ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
* Building toward long-term investing and entrepreneurship.
* Shipping production software at CleverTap.
* Publishing essays on engineering, careers, and money.
* Filming the life around the work.
* Reading more about markets than is strictly reasonable.
