Stories I build with my hands.
A maker and entrepreneur exploring the intersection of design, business and social impact.
Curiosity was the spark. Building was the discipline.
Discarded wood became furniture worth keeping. A batch of homemade dog treats became Waggy Impact, a social enterprise now in its sixth year. Between them, I've learned the only way I know how, by making, testing, failing and refining.
This portfolio is more than what I've built. It's how I've come to think.

“Ved is an entrepreneurial material and I admire his guts and tenacity at this young age and he has his heart in the right place. A lot of people have taken advice but only few managed to walk the path. Wishing him all the best.

“Ved combines a genuine love for woodworking with the instinct to look beyond the task in front of him. At Phantom Hands, he approached unfamiliar business challenges with curiosity, initiative and practical thinking, qualities that are remarkably mature for someone still in school.”
Deepak Srinath
Co - Founder Phantom Hands
“We have been clients of Ved’s enterprising efforts for nearly four years now. Right from his well finished wooden platters to Waggy Impact, his dog treat business - we have seen his passion & hard work in practice. Running a business is challenging at any age; more so as a student. Ved however has been consistent with his supply, excellent with his quality of product delivered and extremely professional in his dealings with us."
Lakshmi Rammohan
Long-standing Customer & Supporter
“I order 21 packets of Ved’s healthy dog treats every week, for my own dogs and the street dogs I feed. I’ve been both a supporter and a tough critic, and have watched him listen, improve and grow Waggy Impact from a teenager’s kitchen experiment into the venture it is today. His consistency and genuine commitment are what keep me coming back.”
Divya Rao
Waggy Impact’s longest-standing and largest customer
“I’ve been a Waggy Impact customer since Ved first started experimenting with treats in his kitchen. What has always stood out is the care he puts into what goes into every batch, simple, good-quality ingredients with no artificial preservatives or unnecessary fillers. Years later, that attention to quality hasn’t changed. And ultimately, the best endorsement is my dog’s, he absolutely loves the treats!”
Priti Ganatra
Long-standing Waggy Impact customer
“What struck me first was that Ved was so young when he started Waggy Impact, but there was nothing casual about the way he ran it. From the quality of the treats and thoughtful packaging to clear WhatsApp communication and reliable delivery, he approached every order professionally. What makes the venture even more meaningful is seeing him use the business to support street dogs in the community. It’s rare to see someone his age combine that level of responsibility with a genuine sense of purpose.”
