About

I’m Chitrakannan (CK). Founder of Wisibl.I build products that make work easier by reducing friction teams have learned to live with.Right now, I’m exploring how AI can help product teams retain context across tools, conversations, and handoffs. Wisibl is my current experiment in solving that problem.Career highlights- Helped scale a company from $10M → $25M by bringing clarity across product, growth, and operations- Early employee at Ondot Systems, leading product and growth initiatives before its acquisition by Fiserv (2021)- Built 5 products from 0→1, several generating $1M+ in revenue- Started my career in QA, which permanently shaped how I think about quality, systems, and edge casesProducts & experiments- ShaRead: A reader-matching engine built before micro-communities became fashionable- RentYourBag: A marketplace that turned unused luggage space into valueIf you want to discuss building, feel free to DM.
