The Round Pencil Logo

Hi There

The Round Pencil is the alter-ego for Unnikrishnan.
When not being a product guy for the organization that pays me to remain "round", I dabble in building apps, doing pro-bono consulting, writing stuff, and binging on science fiction books, series & movies.

What I do well?

Where I do good?

My Startups

BodhianZ

BodhianZ Logo

Co-Founded Bodhianz with the aim of building apps and hardware. Learnt the nuances of starting up to move an idea to its implementation, before having to move on other avenues due to technical challenges.

RaininGifts

Rainingifts Logo

Boot strapped a Indian wedding gifts registry, bringing together e-commerce and family traditions to the new-age. Had to let go of pursing it further, as we could not raise seed capital.
