Hi. I'm Aditya @ArtsOfBaniya Agarwal 🤟
Short Bio
I'm an entrepreneur, builder, and hacker, earned my first business income over 19 years ago. Oh and I'm 27 years old. Living in San Francisco and very likely laughing with (or at) friends at this moment.
I love playing Soccer (anytime, anyday, I'm down!). Occasionally, you'll find me going to West Coast Swing dancing classes, surfing or playing volleyball. Back in India, I used to love riding my motorcycle, one day I'll get one here too.
Tambien hablo español basico, aprendi en duo lingo, y me gusta mucho viajar a latinoamerica.
The best investment I ever made is my kindle paperwhite!
Here's a 5-min catchup of my journey so far.
Career
After spending 3 years designing distributed data systems for fastest growing companies in India, I started working on my own ideas.
It's been an interesting journey, starting 3 companies, raising funds 3 times, bootstrapping one to profitability, traveling through 3 continents.
I co-founded JiffyLabs in Jan'23. After it's launch in Apr'23, grew it 28% MoM for the next 8 months. Fully-boostrapped, made it profitable, generating >$600k in cash flow, while remaining a 2-man, only founder team. Couldn't scale any further and hired the next 5 hires, set their roles and established the the OKR framework. We became the leading data platform in the niche domain and got 3 acquistion offers including one from a decacorn. I had more ideas to experiment, to I decided to decline while letting my co-founder take it forward.
My first startup taught me the importance of building for users you can care for, the second one I think of as a mini-sucess, taught me enterprise sales, gtm, product, and initial hiring. Using all these learnigns, I'm now working on my third startup. I have tons of ideas, (they truly are dime a dozen at this point), so if we're talking, you're probably unknowingly helping me with customer discovery.
