I’m Hemant R Joshi. I build products & write stories. But mostly, I daydream and scheme ideas.
Over the last decade, I’ve helped launch products that have been used by millions of people. I love the thrill of using technology to bring a smile to peoples’ faces. Especially when the products are new. I thrive in zero-to-one spaces, where the ambiguity is high and conviction matters.
I’ve also written 2 books, made an award-winning short film, more than 10 short stories, and written countless first drafts. I hope to make a feature film some day.
Between these two – guess who is me?
🚀 For the Product People
If you’re here because you’re a fellow or aspiring product leader, here’s the short version:
- 9 years building products in fast-moving tech environments.
- Led products from 0 to 1 stages to millions of users
- Data-driven with a huge bias for customer empathy
- Built teams, shaped strategies, did sales, did marketing… basically, anything that is required for “getting the job done.”

📚🎥 For readers and story lovers
The world around us is changing so rapidly with technology. My stories are at the intersection of technology and society – how technological changes affect society at large.
My books – The Advisory Board & Digital Nervous Breakdown are both centered around these changes. You can read more about them here.
You can read some of my short stories here.
ðŸ’Essays and ideas
Like I said, I daydream. That occassionally leads to some thoughts and some experiments. Like running an anonymous blog on the side, or making videos using AI, and more.
I post about them on my blog. I write detailed posts about my experiments, so recommend subscribing to receive new posts.
Promise, it’ll be worth reading. And if not, I insist that you drink a sip of water before you unsubscribe. At least you’ll be well hydrated.
