About Me
Hi! My name is Thejovardhana S. Kote. As my parents were very generous with my name, everyone just calls me Thejo. I grew up in the beautiful city of Mysore , before moving to Bangalore to study and then work on some cool stuff (I like to think so!). I’ve been part of a startup that grew from zero users to many millions and experienced the incredible highs and lows that come with it. It was an experience I will not trade for anything else.
I’m a graduate student at the University of California at Berkeley. At the School of Information, I’m focusing on product design, HCI and in general, a structured approach to building products that people might like and enjoy using. But, being at Berkeley also allows me to indulge in my passion for startups, entrepreneurship and the use of technology for development.
I tend to write about startups, product design, marketing, management, scaling systems to support lots of users etc. In short, anything remotely related to a technology startup. Please feel free to write to me if you think we share interests.
Everything on this blog is my opinion and not that of my current employer.
