## About

Piyush Varanjani sleeps happy when he creates. Currently living in San Francisco, building in AI.

Previously worked on product and growth at Stripe, Wise, and a few other startups. Started coding in a computer lab in a small city in India, made first real money in a tech internship in Israel, and since then been building/scaling startups across Asia (Singapore), San Francisco, and Europe (Estonia, London).

If he were not into tech, he'd be a struggling director or a happily frustrated technocrat.
