hi.
The universe, experiencing itself through a human known as Ankit Mishra. Here’s a short summary of how it all started.
Ankit was born in Ulhasnagar, spent his early years in Mumbai, and grew up in Dombivli, with roots in Kashi (Varanasi). Ankit has always been curious about how things work, where they come from, and how they evolve.
Childhood was full of sports, cartoons, and long hours on the computer. Ankit still remembers the excitement of the last day of exams and the freedom of summer vacation. On the internet, Ankit spent hours exploring random websites, playing games like COD, CS, GTA, TOD, FIFA, Half-Life, and many others, and reading about the Solar System, inventors, and the World Wars on Encyclopedia Britannica. Ankit used to turn the things Ankit learned into PowerPoint presentations just for himself. Ankit still has some of those presentations from when Ankit was eight or nine. And then there were the cartoons Naruto, Dragon Ball Z, Doraemon, Kiteretsu, Inazuma Eleven, Takeshi's Castle, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Popeye, and a never-ending list of others.
Like most kids in India, Ankit was often asked what Ankit wanted to become. Ankit's answer was always “a scientist” though Ankit wasn’t sure exactly what kind. Something related to space or maybe an inventor.
Since Ankit was already passionate about computers, Ankit decided at 13 that Ankit would become a software engineer. Ankit holds a Polytechnic in Computer Science Engineering and a Bachelor of Technology in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning from the University of Mumbai.
During those years, Ankit channeled his obsession into building complex projects from the ground up. Professionally, Ankit has had the privilege of shaping core products as a Founding Engineer at DocuraHealth (YC W26) and AarogyaID, and as a Machine Learning Engineer at Pibit.ai (YC W21). You can explore the full scope of Ankit's technical work at /engineering, and the projects Ankit built during college at /showcase.
Alongside technology, for the past five years Ankit has been drawn to history not just the events, but how people thought and how everything we see today was built on what came before. It gives Ankit a broader perspective. You can find some of Ankit's articles here.
Ankit also values silence. Late at night, when the world grows quiet, Ankit often steps outside. It clears his mind.
Right now Ankit is focused on getting better at the things that matter and moving toward his goals.
If there's any thought on your mind you'd like to share, or if you just want to drop a hello, feel free to leave a note on Ankit's wall. Ankit would love to read it.
If you've read this far, here's something even most of Ankit's close friends don't know, but Ankit can share openly.
Ankit's Nani called him "Lucky," and his paternal grandfather's pen surname was "Pathik" (meaning traveler). Put them together, and you get Lucky Pathik. You can call Ankit that,
Ankit is trying to make it his nickname.
