What I'm Building & Real Traction

I build software that real people use: my developer utility suite (30tools) scaled to 4.3M+ requests and 213K+ monthly active users organically, and I am now building CampusLoop to solve verified student communication across Indian higher education.

1. What I've Shipped & What Happened

I am a product-minded builder who iterates rapidly in public. Here is the trajectory of what I've launched:

  • 30tools: Built a no-login, browser-native utility suite for developers and digital creators. Grew through programmatic SEO and word-of-mouth to 4.3M+ requests, 329k pageviews, and 213k MAU with $0 spent on paid marketing or server compute.
  • Bitotsav Event Infrastructure: Led technical operations and built the live ticketing, QR verification, and real-time event portal handling 5,000+ active participants during the university festival with zero downtime.
  • Debo & IndexFast: Shipped personal AI memory tools and automated indexing servers that developers run inside their everyday workflows.

2. What CampusLoop Is & Why Now

Over 40 million students attend higher education institutions across India, yet campus communication remains fundamentally broken. Group chats on WhatsApp and Telegram are noisy, lack identity verification against external intruders, and offer zero anonymity for sensitive student issues.

CampusLoop is the verified student-only campus network. Every user must authenticate with their official college email (.edu / .ac.in). Once verified, students unlock:

  • An authentic, pseudonymous campus feed for honest discussion
  • A trusted peer-to-peer student marketplace for textbooks, electronics, and sublets
  • Live canteen and campus polls with tamper-proof student votes
  • Encrypted batch time capsules opened upon graduation

3. Current Traction & Real Numbers

Our database directory currently maps institutional domains for 1,350+ Indian colleges.

Verified CampusLoop Metrics:

TODO(shaswat): actual signups / weekly actives / colleges with real activity — a small honest number beats a big ambiguous one.

4. The Team

I build and ship full-stack systems solo from initial conception to production deployment and growth hacking.

TODO(shaswat): co-founder, or solo? Add 2 sentences detailing team makeup or key collaborators.

5. What's Next

We are rolling out CampusLoop across select flagship engineering and central university campuses in India, focusing on density, daily active engagement in campus feeds, and peer marketplace volume.
