Built by a creator,
for every creator.
No VC funding. No big team. Just one guy in Bangalore who got tired of watching Indian creators get rinsed by tools that weren't built for them.

What is OwnStreet?
OwnStreet is an India-first creator platform that combines a link-in-bio page and digital product storefront. Creators use it to share links, sell files, collect emails, add WhatsApp CTA, and improve conversion from social traffic.

The honest story
I've been a creator in some form my whole life. Footballer, video editor, YouTuber, blogger — you name it, I probably tried it. At some point I started designing digital products and selling them on Etsy. That's when the tools started getting annoying.
Etsy takes a cut. Gumroad (a tool many creators use to sell digital files) takes 10%. Linktree (a tool to place all your links on one page) charges in dollars for features that should be simple. Meanwhile I'm in Bangalore wondering why I should pay so much just to run my creator page.
I dropped out of college (yes, willingly, no regrets), went deep on understanding how software actually works — frontend, backend, databases, auth, AI — the full stack. Then I spent a month building the tool I always wished existed.
That tool is ownstreet. In simple terms: one page for your links and digital products, plus WhatsApp and email capture. ₹299/month flat for Pro, with 0% OwnStreet platform fee on product sales. Built for Indian creators, by one.
"I didn't come from money. I didn't have a team. I just had WiFi, curiosity, and a really strong opinion that Indian creators deserve better tools."

Why ownstreet hits different
Draft first. Pay later.
Creators should feel the product workflow before they worry about KYC, checkout, or monthly subscriptions.
Built by someone who was you
I've sold digital products. I've dealt with Gumroad's fees. I built ownstreet because I needed it, not because I spotted a market.
Ships fast, listens hard
No corporate layers. If you DM me a feature request, I'll probably build it before the week ends.
India-first, always
UPI. Rupee billing. Desi template. Built for the way Indian creators actually work and sell.
Random things about me
since you're on the about page and clearly curious 👀
Used to play football seriously. Still blame injuries for why I code now.
College dropout. Best decision I ever made, honestly.
Based in Bangalore. Yes, the traffic is as bad as they say.
Learned to build full-stack apps mostly through AI + stubbornness.
Sold digital products on Etsy. Gumroad's 10% fee personally offended me.
Built ownstreet in ~1 month. Sleep is a concept I respect but don't practice.
