I was a Chemical Engineering student at SSN College. Today I'm building India's digital wellness app. Nobody saw that coming. Not even me. In my 3rd year, I tracked my screen time for a week. 7.4 hours a day. Every day. The worst part? I knew it was a problem. But every app that was supposed to help me just made it worse. Block this. Restrict that. Set a timer. None of it worked. Because willpower isn't the problem. Behavior is. That's when the idea hit me: what if instead of making your phone your enemy, you made it a game you could actually win? I spent the next year building ScrollKurai. Not because it was the smart career move. But because I was living the problem — and I couldn't find a solution that didn't feel like punishment. That's the only reason worth building anything. What made you start your current project? Drop it in the comments — I genuinely want to know.
