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.

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 takes 10%. Linktree charges in dollars for features that should be free. Meanwhile I'm sitting in Bangalore trying to figure out why I'm paying ₹2,000/month to a US company just to show my links.
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 platform. Bio links + digital store + WhatsApp + email capture. ₹299/month flat. 0% commission. 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
0% commission. No cap.
Your sales are yours. We make money from the ₹299/month subscription, not from taking a cut when you succeed.
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.
