Hey, nice to meet you! I am Sanket. I'm a product builder at heart who loves to create tools that empower developers and designers. I co-founded GeekyAnts and served as CEO for over a decade, helping scale it into a global design and development powerhouse. Today, my co-founder Pratik leads as CEO while I continue to support the team as a board member and evangelist.
Currently, I'm building RapidNative at my new company Shaper Studio Inc — a prototyping tool for mobile apps, designed for builders, founders, product managers, and UX designers.
Whether it's building companies, speaking at events, or designing systems, I love solving high-leverage problems that make teams faster and products better.
