I'm Aashwin. I've been selling and shipping since I was 12. At 17 I helped win ₹100 Cr (~$12M) in contracts from an infrastructure firm's director's office, while my classmates revised for board exams.

Around then I started Starwin Power, building vertical-axis wind turbines for highways, and took it to $800k. 1st at IIT Roorkee IdeaStorm, validated by the Government of Gujarat at the Vibrant Gujarat Summit. Before that I interned at ISRO, and won ~50 state and national debates by reverse-engineering how judges score.

Since then: Elite HQ to 40+ B2B clients and 50,000+ candidates shortlisted, wound down in Mar 2026 to go do something larger. Clippy, an autonomous macOS agent. And a bot on my professor's lectures that hit 5,000 weekly users and got me invited to speak at Google and Microsoft.

Now I'm all in on Cortex: brain clones for AI agents. It turns one person's judgment into an API that people and AI agents can talk to. Live today: 20 paying customers, 6 of them companies, $5,400 in June revenue, 80% retention.

I won India's first World Model Hackathon. I was VP of the Founders' Club at Masters' Union until Mar 2026, mentoring 100+ startups. I was selected for Y Combinator's Startup School India 2026 and Founders' Inc. Canopy 2026, did Invention Novelty's 30-day founder hacker house, got an offer from Entrepreneur First, and I'm in the NVIDIA Developer Program.

Also an advisory board member at Boardy.
