🤝 I'm born & brought-up in <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/rya7LzhviYag2SMR9">Agra, India</a>. These days, I am living in <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZzvVgu4VSWL7zjFb7">Bengaluru, India</a>. My value-creation journey started as an entrepreneur during/right after college to contributions towards the success or/and learnings at 3 hyper-growth startups. In my last stint, I was a Product Manager building the inland transportation vertical at <a href="https://cogoport.com/">Cogoport</a>. 

🎯 My approach to work & life: Micro-failures are the driver of compounding growth & pillars of macro-success. Micro-failures increases the surface area of luck. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

🤩 My north star: Increase the per capita value of the internet.

💼 Currently, I am building my website, blog & artifacts portfolio. View my <a href="https://shubhammittalcv.vercel.app/">CV</a>.

14” MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 32GB RAM (2021)

I use it for everything. I have a separate workspace for each of my projects and I use it to keep track of my tasks, notes, and ideas.

5K resolution helps to reduce strain on the eyes and makes it more comfortable to work for long periods of time. Not to mention that it looks great.

I'm not a designer but it allows me to quickly mock up interfaces and play with my ideas. One day I'll learn how to use it properly.
