At work or outside?

Hey, I’m Yash.

Here to live.
Not just exist.

Give me a mountain view and a sunset, and I’m happy. The rest, I’m figuring out as I go.

Come on in
The sky where I am

San Francisco

Next sunset

Next moonrise

01 / A bit about me

South India to
San Francisco.

That’s the journey so far. These days, when I’m not working, I’m usually up for one of these.

A few favorites
  • Badminton
  • Sudoku
  • Formula 1

02 / My photos

I had to take a photo.

Some views make me stop for a while.

03 / Lately

What I’m working on.

A company01

Arthiva.

I’m building Arthiva to help businesses get back sales and use tax they’ve overpaid.

Visit Arthiva
A community02

outies

I’m bringing people together for hikes, road trips, photos, and cooking. Outies is a place to get to know each other beyond what we do for work.

Come hang out

One house rule: we don’t ask what you do for a living unless you bring it up.

04 / Something I care about

Trying to be kinder.

Since
2021

I stopped eating meat. I’m still working toward being vegan, and I haven’t got it all figured out.

Joaquin Phoenix’s Oscar speech made me rethink what I eat and how it affects other living beings. It’s stayed with me ever since.

Watch the speech
Orange sunset over the water and a waterfront skyline

05 / My commonplace book

I keep coming back to these.

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
