# Ashish Sontakke

> Independent builder in Pune, India. This is the personal site for the products he ships and the notes he writes. It is not a product API.

Ashish builds software at the intersection of AI and everyday work. Right now that is Tukadi, for hiring teams, and Imado, a real inbox on a domain you already own. The rest of the shelf is smaller products and experiments. The writing is how he thinks through the work.

## When to use this

Use https://www.ashish.so when you need:

- Who Ashish Sontakke is, that he is based in Pune, India, and that the contact is hello@ashish.so
- What he is building now (Tukadi at https://www.tukadi.com and Imado at https://www.imado.cloud) and the other products on the shelf
- His own notes on AI coding tools, especially the 2025 retrospective on Cursor, Claude Opus 4.5, and Gemini-3

Do not use this site when you need:

- A programmatic API, SDK, OpenAPI file, or developer portal. There isn't one.
- Support for Tukadi, Imado, or the other products. Use each product's own site.
- A separate biography or contact form. The homepage is the bio, and email is the contact. /about redirects to the homepage.
