31. Co-Founder & CEO of Creoglyph. We build websites and AI products. Rooted in tradition, looking forward.
Why this page exists
This is the long version of me. I wrote it because short conversations never tell the full story, and I'd rather you read this than guess.
The short version
I co-founded Creoglyph. We build Webflow sites for B2B SaaS clients globally, and we're building our own AI product, Creobot, on the side. No family business behind me, no backup plan.
I'm not just the "CEO building a company" type. I'll sit and listen to an entire album because the mastering on the second track sounds different and I need to figure out why. I finished my Hindustani Classical junior exam and used to play the harmonium regularly. Don't get as much time for it now, but music still makes my brain shut up in a way nothing else does.
I watch anime and I have strong opinions about it. Pacing, character arcs, all of it. I'll rewatch a Batman film just to catch things I missed. Superhero movies are comfort food. I'm also that person who's tested probably every task management tool that exists because I can't leave a system alone until it works perfectly.
I collect fragrances. Not casually. I study notes, longevity, accords. It started small and now I have a growing collection and a wishlist that's honestly embarrassing. I just like knowing exactly what I'm wearing and why.
I learned Japanese when I was working at Yokogawa. Was always interested in it because of anime, and getting trained in it at work felt like things lining up. Now I can follow most anime without subtitles which was the whole point honestly.
With people I'm the same way. If I care about someone, it shows. I'll remember something you said three weeks ago. I'll show up without being asked. I'll sit through a hard conversation instead of pretending everything's fine.
Where I'm headed
Creoglyph isn't a side project. I'm building it for the long run. It takes focus and long hours, but home still comes first. That balance is something I'm always working on, not something I've fully figured out.
Beyond the resume
What life with me looks like
A quiet morning
Filter coffee. Some music in the background. Sitting together without needing to say anything.
Home-cooked meals
I prefer fresh home food, partly health reasons, partly just how I grew up. Cooking together, tasting, arguing about salt. That's the kind of everyday I want.
A movie night
Anime, a Batman rewatch, or something you've been wanting to show me. I'm easy.
Music at home
I used to play harmonium in the evenings. Don't get the time now, but the plan is to get back to it. Music at home just makes everything feel right.
Weekend temple
Been doing this since I was a kid and never stopped. It grounds me. Would be nice to share it.
Rooted in tradition
I grew up in a home where traditions weren't just for festivals. They were everyday. I want that in my own home too. The small things, the daily ones, those matter most to me.
The hard days
I don't need someone to fix it. Just someone sitting next to me saying "I'm here" is enough.
Family first
I lost my dad recently. Being there for my mom and sister isn't a duty, it's just what I do. The home I'm building has room for the people who raised me and the people I'll choose. Both. Not one squeezing the other.
Talk, don't guess
The relationships that have worked in my life are the ones where people said what they meant. If something's off, I'd rather hear it than wonder.
Respect stays on
Fights happen. How we talk to each other during them matters as much as what we say after. Humor that stings isn't really humor.
Both people give
A home works when both people put in. Effort, care, small things. Not the same way every day, but both of us, over time.
Safe to be real
I'd rather us be honest with each other than look perfect to anyone. No performance. No tiptoeing. Just two people who trust each other enough to be themselves.
Repair, not grudge
We'll both mess up. What matters is owning it, fixing it, and actually moving on. Not keeping a tally.
Warmth isn't optional
A home should feel like somewhere you want to come back to. That means affection, ease, laughter. Not just when things are good.
When I care about someone, I don't do it halfway. I show up. I listen. I remember things that matter to you. I put in effort without keeping a tab of who did what. And if something goes wrong between us, I'd rather sit and work through it than let it rot.
I also overthink, and I get invested faster than most people. Not hiding any of this. It's just who I am, and what I'm still working on.
01 Words matter. Always.
I don't use foul or degrading language with the people I love. Not when I'm angry, not as a joke, not ever. Humor is great, I love it, but there's a line between playful and hurtful. "I was just joking" doesn't undo what was said.
02 Silence is not a strategy.
If I'm upset, I'll tell you. If I need time, I'll say so. That's how I want us to handle things. Not with days of quiet or silence used to punish. I will always talk. I need the same back.
03 My softness is a choice.
I'll apologize first. I'll put the relationship above my ego. But that's not something I owe anyone, it's something I give because I care. I just need that to be valued, not mistaken for a weakness.
What I value
- 01Peaceful. I'd rather have a quiet evening than a chaotic adventure.
- 02Direct. Say what you feel instead of going silent and expecting me to guess.
- 03Emotionally mature. Doesn't need to be perfect, just willing to own their part.
- 04Respects how I live. I'm vegetarian and don't drink, and I'm not asking anyone to change for me. Just openness to the way I do things.
- 05Team player. Both people's happiness matters, not just one.
- 06Values kindness when it's given. Doesn't treat it like something they're owed.
- 07Can disagree without being cruel. No hiding meanness behind "I was just being honest."
- 08Warm. Laughs easily. Shows affection without needing a reason.
If you read this far
Thank you. This is the most honest version of me I know how to put on a page. If something here made you want to know more, I'd like that. Either way, glad you spent the time.
sachin@creoglyph.comBuilt this page myself because I'd rather people know the real version.
