Rishikesh Ranjan

About

I run growth and product — and I write the code behind it. At ngram (AI video for product & marketing teams) I took the company from $0 to $150K ARR in three months. Before that I led growth at StreamAlive — 3× signups, +40% acquisition, and AI search as the 3rd-largest signup source. Earlier I scaled Spaceonova (team of 20, 2× revenue), grew CloutFlow's creator marketplace, and launched Airbook to #1 on Product Hunt.

The growth work is backed by real engineering — I ship open-source systems and developer tools like taketomarket, a marketing OS shipped as 40+ Claude Code & Codex skills.

This is where I write, ship tools, and keep my work in one place.
