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.

Before ownstreet
What is ownstreet?
ownstreet is an India-first creator platform: link-in-bio page, digital product storefront, and a public creator marketplace for Pro sellers. Creators share links, sell files with UPI, get discovered by buyers browsing presets, ebooks, and courses, collect emails, and add a WhatsApp CTA.
The honest story
I've been a creator in some form my whole life. Footballer, video editor, YouTuber, blogger, digital marketer, instructor. At some point I started designing digital products and selling them online. 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. One page for links and digital products, a marketplace where Pro sellers get found, 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.
Discovery + your store
List on the marketplace like Etsy for browse. Checkout stays on your page with UPI. No platform cut on the sale.
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.
Taught digital marketing before I ever shipped a SaaS product.
Built ownstreet in ~1 month. Sleep is a concept I respect but don't practice.
