The Proof of Work Guy

I’m Swapnil. I’m building a world where skill outranks pedigree.

I run 🌵 Cactro - India’s fairest technical test. Over 1,000 developers have landed jobs because their proof of work spoke louder than their résumé.

Before this, I worked at Amazon (Software Developer) and Meesho (Product Manager, YC S16).

How I can Help YOU?

My Playbook for Doing Great Work

3. Track progress → what you measure improves
4. Stretch beyond comfort → that’s where growth lies
