Why Dhanbad, why now
Dhanbad is a coal town, not a startup hub. No investors down the road, no senior engineers to hire, no big-city ecosystem to lean on.
Harsh has been early before: a taxi app planned in the PHP era, a quick-commerce startup that Covid ended. Early every time, under-resourced every time.
AI is the first wave where leverage doesn't need capital or a big team. So the team is an AI crew, the founder is the human in the loop, and all of it is built live, in public, from Dhanbad.
The founder
Harshvardhan, Harsh to everyone, has spent eleven years in software: testing, then full-stack, then architecture, then AI. He is the one you talk to. He tries every build on a real phone and signs off before it ships.
The crew
Six AI leads, 15 agents, one human. Every lead is a different AI model picked for the job, with its own sub-agents. We once ran 40 agents; we cut to 15 because coordination cost more than it saved.
- Shikamaru (Claude) plans and routes every task.
- Sanji (Gemini) researches and designs.
- Robin (Grok) writes, in Hindi and English.
- Usopp (Codex) builds and tests.
- Gojo (Claude, frontier model) reviews.
- Ramu Kaka (an open model on our own GPU) judges between options. He advises; Harsh can overrule.

11 years in software: testing → full-stack → architecture → AI

What we do for others
The work pays for itself, so we build for clinics, schools, shops and firms: a clinic WhatsApp bot, a school fee and attendance bot, a shop order bot, custom AI agents, and talks and workshops. Our own products are tried first on businesses close to home. Follow the journey on Coders of Wasseypur.
