[ studio ]
Deswal Sandbox is a one-person software studio in Bengaluru. I build apps, tools, and AI-powered platforms for premium consumers — drawn from problems I and the people around me actually have.
[ where the work happens ]
Beliefs
Premium-built software should be the default, not the exception.
Honesty about state — paused experiments labelled paused — is more premium than performed activity.
A small studio that does many things well beats a large one that does one thing aggressively.
Practice
Every experiment runs through the same six phases: notice, sketch, sandbox, ship, live, decide.
I write about the work as much as I do the work. The Notebook is half of the studio.
Compensation is transparent. Roles are senior. The team is named, never anonymous.
Output
Apps, tools, AI platforms, ops software, embedded experiments — anything I can prototype in a week and live with for two.
A handful of things ship per year. Most things sketch and die. The page tells you which is which.
I keep what I make running well, and retire it honestly when its time is up.
