Heylo :) I’m Shiv. I go by ss or ssg depending on which branch of my friends and internet acquaintances you know me by.

I’m an older brother to a dumbass NYU undergrad, a 2x founder building my next, and a man that’s discovering how serendipitous, vast, and beautiful the world is.

I’m based in Chennai where I live with my grandparents; my parents and rest of the fam are in the US. I split my time 80-20 between here and there.

I’ve inadvertently been rather guardful of my influences in life, so haven’t been exposed at all to most of popular media or literature. Slowly opening up (2 movies and 1 book a month) at the moment, so I’m easily spellbound by the magnifique. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to leave your indelible footprint on this lunar surface, so use the 1 recommendation you get with me wisely.

I play competitive city level cricket and badminton, high school level tennis and TT, and world class Fifa.

I routinely travel 1x a quarter but have a goldfish memory, so the reminiscence warrants a revisit in most cases.

All of my self worth I used to place on my looks, which I have now stopped. I now judge myself on the love I have for my friends and family; on if I have become any smarter than I used to be, and on whether I am still a dank ass bastard through all of my softness.

i am building [redacted] (2024 — ). It is the largest opportunity in consumer, and I am honestly only doing it for my ego.
