About me
LATEST: Preetam and I are on a mission to build the best customer support software for ecommerce. We call it DelightChat
Hello there 👋 I am Sankalp.
I started my career as a software developer for a startup where I was the first employee and since then I fell in love with building products.
I built SuperLemon, a WhatsApp communication tool for Shopify stores, together with my friend Preetam Nath.
Fun fact: SuperLemon recently crossed $30k MRR :)
In my spare time I like to build open source projects that solve small but recurring problems we face during software development such as this one
I recently started a series called Learn Django where I post specific guides about some concepts that helped me in my journey of building Django applications for the past 6 years.
I also run a newsletter called Wholesome Django 🥰 💻. Do subscribe to be notified of new posts
A bit about my history
I worked as a back-end software developer at GreedyGame where I learnt how to scale an application to serve ads to millions of users a day. It was during my time with GreedyGame when I had the opportunity to speak at redisconf 2019 where I talked about how we achieved this level of scale.
What I do now
July 2025
In the pursuit of broadening my skillset from just being a good CTO, I have been trying my hand at product design and distribution using SEO. To that end I launched a website that helps African American people find a good home church. I call this project Black Churches.
To build this project, I did extensive research on the problem statement that is being solved that lead me to discover many interesting things about black culture and how music is an important aspect of it.
For the first time in many years, I really enjoyed building something while learning something new which is seemingly irrelevant but hey, you don't need permission from anyone to follow your curiousity.
At the same time, my cofounder Preetam has had a journey from the other end. He began with product design and SEO, and last year, he finally achieved his goal of learning to code. It’s been fulfilling to watch his growth, support him along the way, and even learn something new myself as we built a Ruby on Rails app together. Preetam has since launched his own project called Petshot Pro, an AI Pet Portrait Generator.
2019 - 2025
After a dream run with SuperLemon which grew beyond our wildest imagination, I am now working on a new venture which will focus on customer support software for e-commerce merchants built around simplicity and real time collaboration.
