Now
I’m spending time on UXFOSS and planning a few coffee workshops in Bangalore and Kochi. I’m also putting together a 2026 gift for friends and thinking about some end-of-year travel. I’m rearranging my book library, trying a no-buy streak for next 3 months, and catching up on books, ideas, and whatever curiosity throws my way. 01 Oct 2025

I enjoy meeting people who are building, exploring, or figuring things out. If you ever feel like talking through an idea, a project, or a question you’re sitting with, I’m happy to meet either over a relaxed coffee at a café in Bangalore or on a quick call if that’s easier. You can grab a slot at cal.com/hfactor, or just drop me an email. [email protected].
