I am Siddharth Talesara, aka Sid Talesara. I am currently working as Fullstack developer in Supatest.Ai, an AI based startup that automates e2e ui testing. Along with this, I run a freelance design & development agency, Markals.

I love creating things. From an early age, I created some robotics projects during my school years. Then, as YouTube was on the rise, I self-taught myself how to shoot videos and create content, and ran a YouTube channel for a few months, all this in the pre-Jio era. Fast forward to 2020, after my 12th grade ended and the COVID outbreak happened, I had a lot of time. So, I started learning about digital marketing and content marketing. Again in 2020, I started another YouTube channel [Threeplants] focusing on gardening and home decor. The editing skills I learned helped me land my first internship at Fampay.

In late 2020, I was admitted to college to pursue my degree. I've been active in college activities, from joining the student council to being part of the alumni society of the college. I also explored some untouched fields of interest like acting, yoga, and cinematography.

In late 2021, I got a chance to go on a trip as an active member of the Charammangal group to Bangalore, where we met with Mr. Chenraj Roychand, the chairman of Jain University. I learned a lot in those 3-4 days of journey from the people out there and from world-class mentors like Pragbhaji.

I continued tinkering with small ideas here and there. This time, I started following startups very closely and started writing about them on Twitter threads. Then, I eventually got a chance to attend a seminar by Mr. Rishabh Jain, founder of Labour Law Advisor. There, I attended the talk show and wrote about it in my thread. Rishabh liked my content and dropped a message regarding an opportunity to work with him. Fast forward to April 2023, I worked in LLA for almost 11 months, met really amazing people (Andy, Mandeep, Garima, Ashish, , Prince, Vedangi, Rohan). I started working as a web developer then was promoted to work as a product intern. I also got a chance to work on LLA’s offline product called Jagruk Journal. It was a roller coaster ride. I even conducted interviews in LLA. I had a great time in LLA.

Recently, I created and launched a product on Product Hunt called Mindmelo. This productivity booster web app, with its mesmerizing song library and the power to create your own serene environments, sets it apart.

Apart from work, I particularly enjoy filming, writing, designing, capturing moments, painting, gardening, traveling places, and spending time with my family & friends. I am not that socially active, I live in my own little world sometimes.

I am solely focused on creating something, tinkering with ideas, and making them a reality. I believe everything happens for a reason. My favorite quote is from Steve Jobs, "The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do". I don’t know if I will change the world or not, but I will definitely create products that help me and people out there. It's for the love of the craft of creating things.
