Proficient across all parts of the stack, he's a true swiss army knife, excellent with AI coding workflows, and can grind! Would highly recommend working with Rohit." — Ares, Founder & COO, Rime ($24M Series A) "If you're on the lookout for a sound engineer who embodies the true startup spirit, Rohit is your go-to person! I've known him since he was in highschool working for an internet startup, and his journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, gaining valuable experience as both a startup founder and a key engineer in several successful ventures. I've know Rohit from before he knew how to code, and it's incredible seeing him become a top engineer at VC-funded companies. Rohit's ability to grasp and contribute to both technical and non-technical facets of product development is truly exceptional, making him an invaluable asset to any team he collaborates with." — Anand Chowdhary, Head of Product & Founding Team @ Sycamore ($65M seed) · Previously built & sold FirstQuadrant (Y Combinator S21) "Rohit was the first mobile engineer we hired to build our mobile SDKs, he developed our React Native SDKs and then wrote wrappers on it to make Android and iOS and Flutter SDK. It was a highly technical undertaking, building a WebRTC SDK is a hard enough task and add on top of that going under the hood of React Native internals, understanding iOS / Android build systems and packaging, reverse engineering systems to deliver a single codebase that spits out 4 different SDKs. If you have a complex technical project and want some magic, hire Rohit." — Palash Golecha, Director Engineering @ Cloudflare, prev co-founder Dyte "I still remember when i was building my first startup in the Internet space when Rohit reached out to me to work with us. It's been more than 12 years after that & the only thing i can say is i have seen him grow from just a kid to someone who has a great grasp on things & technology that he talks about. An excellent resource/leader that one can have in the team." — Veer Mishra, Senior Vice President @ Paytm · Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia 2021 "While building StartUp with Rohit, I've had the opportunity to work and grow with him. Rohit is a goal-oriented person. During our college days, he built his StartUp and left no stone unturned in achieving it. Be it reaching out to industry experts for mentorship, research across skill-set, and implementing the same, he has done it all. After college, he had set up a clear goal of building his expertise in FrontEnd technology. Over the years he has delivered on his goals. I've seen him closely, as a friend, while he helped multiple StartUps to build products from scratch, always going out of the box to add extra value to these teams. It is no surprise that he has been at the lead of multiple StartUps that were eventually backed by YC, or a similar accredited VC. I see Rohit as a dedicated, goal-oriented, and committed individual. To top it all, he is an outreaching individual. He has amazing conversation skills and he is very empathic in nature. All of this makes him a very good leader and a success factor for any team." — Himanshu Shankar, Founder · Ex-Director of Engineering @ CERTA · Built for BCG, Bain & McKinsey · IEEE Senior Member "Rohit is excellent at working with clients at LD Talent. He does a phenomenal job. I would never have been as able and patient as Rohit in such several situations he managed!" — Gobi Dasu, Future of Work · Human-AI · Startups · Stanford · Northwestern "Rohit has been an invaluable asset to my software agency, serving as both a trusted mentor and friend. His profound understanding of technology and human behaviour has been instrumental in providing guidance and direction to our team. I am incredibly grateful for his ongoing support and expertise, which have undoubtedly contributed to the success of our organization. Beyond his professional contributions, Rohit is a truly exceptional human being, and I consider myself fortunate to have him in my network. Thank you, Rohit, for your unwavering commitment to excellence and your steadfast friendship." — Aanand Madhav, Building in the age of AI — design, code, ship, scale · Product & UX "Rohit is a one of those sound tech developers who first understand the requirement, articulate it and then, move to action plan. He demonstrates a mix of engineering and entrepreneurial skills.
