§ 01 / Now

In the build, today.

Three products I'm shipping right now. ChargeDisha for honest EV charger data; LLMNarrative + Molt for honest AI evaluation.
Closed alpha · Live

ChargeDisha

// Community-verified EV charging map · India

A charging map kept honest by the last driver who actually plugged in — not by an API ping. Photo-gated check-ins, EXIF + GPS validation, anti-fraud built into the data model. Closed testing on Google Play; public launch imminent.
