Hi, I'm JI
A software developer and aspiring entrepreneur from Pune, India — building software products, SaaS tools, and open-source projects that solve real problems.
I work full-time as a software developer while building my product portfolio on the side. My goal is to transition to full-time product building — one shipped product at a time.
What I Build
I build software products primarily targeting Indian users and businesses. The Indian market is enormous, underserved by quality software, and offers unique opportunities for developers who understand the local context.
My products solve real problems — Monitoro for uptime monitoring and alerts for indie developers who can't afford enterprise costs, and JI Store for managing invoices and coupons with ease.
Every product I build starts with a genuine problem I or someone close to me has faced. I believe the best products come from deep empathy with the problem, not from market research alone.
Journey
