After 5 yrs, sad to be moving out of our beautiful home. Sharing for our lovely landlords. It’s 3000+ sq ft, airy & sunlit. Overlooks acres of green cover at Madras Sappers, Wheeler Rd. Available early May. A true, hidden gem in central BLR. DM if interested. No brokers pls

Yesterday Mark Cuban reposted my work, DM'd me, and told me to keep telling my story. So here it is. I'm a Master Electrician. IBEW Local 369. 15 years pulling wire in Kentucky. Zero coding background. I didn't go to Stanford. I went to trade school. Every week I'd show up to a home where someone just bought a Tesla or a Rivian. And every time, someone had already told them they needed a $3,000-$5,000 panel upgrade to install a charger. 70% of the time? They didn't need it. The math is in the NEC — Section 220.82. Load calculations. But nobody was doing them for homeowners. Electricians upsell. Dealers don't know. And the homeowner just pays. I got angry enough to build something about it. I found @claudeai. No coding experience. I just started talking to it like I'd explain a job to an apprentice. "Here's how load calcs work. Here's the NEC code. Now help me build a tool that does this." 6 months later — @ChargeRight is live. Real software. Stripe payments. PDF reports. NEC 220.82 calculations automated. $12.99 instead of a $500 truck roll. I'm still pulling wire. I still take service calls. I wake up at 5:05 AM for work. But something shifted. Yesterday @vivilinsv published my story as Claude Builder Spotlight #1. Mark Cuban saw it. The Claude community showed up. And for the first time, I felt like this thing I built in my kitchen might actually matter. I'm not a tech founder. I'm a dad who wants to coach little league and be home for dinner. I just happened to build something that helps people. If you're in the trades and thinking about using AI — do it. The barrier isn't technical skill. It's believing you're allowed to try. EVchargeright.com

We raised ₹1.91 crore. Two months ago, if someone had told us we could raise money for our startup from X, we wouldn’t have believed it. So we needed about ₹80 lakh, so I posted a tweet. What happened next was unexpected. From that single tweet, we had over ₹2 crore in confirmed cheques. I never imagined the consumers we sell to would want to become our investors. What surprised me the most was the sheer number of people who wanted to back us. In the end, we raised ₹1.90 crore. ₹1 crore from our angel network and approximately ₹90 lakhs from X. We were careful about who we accepted money from. We only brought in investors who could add an edge, open strategic doors, and were aligned with our long-term vision. Deeply humbled and grateful for the support. Someday down the line, I’ll share a detailed post about the process, the steps we followed, and the lessons I learned along the way.

We are launching a new segment, the first in this space, something no brand has ever explored. This is very close to my heart, carrying a huge responsibility not just as a founder, but as a father too. Introducing Salties : our new kid hydration range. This product took six months of development, incorporating feedback from parents and children and was formulated with guidance from a top paediatrician in Mumbai. So, how did we arrive at this? We noticed a very common pattern in every child: - Many kids don’t drink enough water. - Active kids who do drink water still lose electrolytes like sodium. The market has ORS-like products, but they’re high in sodium and sugar and meant only for illness, not for everyday hydration. We designed Salties for kids who need healthy hydration for their active day. It provides essential electrolytes for regular consumption with no sugar, keeping in mind that kids already consume a lot of sugar. Salties is a clean formulation, third-party lab tested and safe for everyday use. To make it fun and appealing for kids, it comes in Mango, Peach, Mixed Berries, and Fruit Punch flavors.
