I'm Chitrakannan (CK). Founder of Wisibl. I love to build products that boost efficiency.

Career Highlights
• Helped scale a company from $10M to $28M by driving product, growth and operational clarity.
• Early employee leading key product and growth initiatives that contributed to a $270M acquisition.
• Built 6 0–1 products, with several generating over $1M in revenue.
• Started in QA, which taught me the discipline and detail that still shape how I build.

Products & Experiments
• ShaRead: A matching engine for readers built before micro-communities were cool.
• RentYourBag: A marketplace turning unused luggage space into value.

The best conversations in the ecosystem are never recorded.

They happen in hallways.
They happen over dinner.
When the social filters are off

I’m flying down for the GrowthX® AI Offsite for exactly this reason.

300 founders & operators from all over the country.
3 days. And countless memories.

The hypothesis on ai right now is messy.

Looking forward to see what the best operators are actually shipping. Not the press release version. 

The broken, messy, real version. 

I have discussed Growth, GTM, Product with this group. Now bringing the same insights to AI. 

Can't wait to see how the next 3 days are going to shape my thought process.

Scale and Growth are outputs, not strategies.

Ironically, the best way to grow is not by chasing growth. 

Instead, focus on building systems that let you learn faster than the market.

Learn from every customer interaction, every failed experiment, every market shift.

If you can build tight feedback loops, your growth becomes inevitable.

Most 0–1 failures don’t die because the idea was bad.

They die because the founder tried to be clever before being useful.

0–1 has only one real job:
Turn uncertainty into a repeatable decision.

That means:
• One ICP you can name without a slide
• One problem tied to money, time, or risk
• One behavior change you can observe
• One transaction that proves intent

Anything beyond this is intellectual entertainment.

Vision doesn’t build 0–1.
Constraints do.

If you can’t explain why a stranger paid you in one sentence, you don’t have a product yet. You have a theory.

And theories are cheap. Execution is not.

Great businesses aren’t just about numbers, strategies, or products—they are built on people. And by people, I mean employees and customers. Managing employees well keeps your business running smoothly; managing customers well keeps it growing. At the core, both are about understanding people, building trust, and creating value.

Leadership is managing people inside your business.
Sales is managing people outside your business.
Master both, and success naturally follows.
