What I write about
The practical side of building in India: pricing and getting paid, validating ideas cheaply, finding collaborators, and running events outside the metro tech hubs. I write from building KAIOS BUILD and from client work. Wherever a guide relies on a tax rate, a fee or a rule, it links to the source, and it says plainly where you need a chartered accountant or a lawyer instead.
How guides are written, checked and corrected: editorial policy.
