Take the first step, then add another, and another, and watch your progress multiply! This simple yet powerful principle has guided us at 1app over the past 6 months, and the results are astonishing . We started with a single step, a small action towards our goal. Then, we added another, and another, and another. Before we knew it, our progress began to snowball, gaining momentum and speed. In just 6 short months, we've achieved remarkable milestones. We've: - Completed numerous projects - Built new relationships - Developed new skills - Overcome challenges - Celebrated successes - Launched another new product. And it all began with that first step some years back with our products launched successfully. By consistently adding one step to another, we've created a powerful momentum that has propelled us forward. So, remember, every small step counts, and every additional effort builds upon the previous one. Keep taking steps, and watch your progress multiply! Happy New Month To You. hashtag #FinTech #Tech #1app #NewMonth #July

Excited to share I’ve joined Credal.ai. My career so far (2 years post-grad) has been pretty non-linear: I went from management consulting at EY-Parthenon to consumer fintech at Bloom, a sub-10 person startup where I did a bit of everything. And now - I’ve started a new role at Credal.ai, working on growth in AI b2b SaaS. Every decision had its reason. Consulting gave me perspective across industries and bought me time to explore. But I quickly realized I wanted more ownership and deeper product alignment. At Bloom, I learned how to tackle any problem and scale processes in a fast-paced, scrappy environment. But I realized I wanted to work on challenges with the potential to shape industries on a larger scale, while gaining a deep understanding of how businesses make decisions. Now, at Credal, I’m working on a problem that hasn’t yet been solved: building a single, horizontal AI enterprise platform that (actually) works like magic across an organization. Throughout my career, I've regularly asked myself: Is this the place where I’m growing the fastest? Am I moving in not just any direction, but the right direction? Am I living true to my values? While I won't ever ~truly~ know, here’s what I’ve learned: 1. Life is not linear, but it definitely compounds. I would not be here if not for my prior experiences. 2. Growth comes from pursuing things before you feel ready. 3. Who you’re surrounded by is a game-changer. Surround yourself with people who share the same values, and support you not because of what you can do for them, but because they genuinely want to see you succeed. Thank you to Asian Founders Club, Ravin Thambapillai, Jack Fischer, and many others for that. I’m excited to start this new chapter at Credal. If you’re working in AI, interested in our product, or want to join, I’d love to connect and chat :) 

I spent most of last week in SF at TechCrunch Disrupt. I met some great people and learned a lot at the fantastic panels. My biggest takeaway was a lesson that is crucial for all founders - remember why you are building and who you are building for. Your goal in creating software is to make people's lives easier, not introduce complexity. Ideally, your solution should be doing one or more of the following: 1) Making people money 2) Saving people money 3) Saving people time 4) Saving people effort If what you're building doesn't check one of those boxes, it might be time for a pivot.
