About

Curious, independent and still learning.

This is the person behind Plert Ankush. I'm interested in AI, technology and business, and I learn by building things and seeing what happens.

Where the name comes from

Plerti was one of the names on a list of startup ideas I had collected. When I wanted an online identity that was more distinctive than a common real name, I went back to that list and picked Plerti. I shortened it to Plert and put it together with Ankush.

The long-term goal is to turn Plert Ankush into a recognisable personal brand with an audience around the world. That is something I'm working towards, not something I've already achieved.

What interests me

  • AI and technology.
  • Business and entrepreneurship, which connects most of the rest.
  • Building ambitious and interesting things.
  • Solving unusual problems with software and SaaS.
  • Understanding products, strategy and how businesses work.

Before this I spent time on content creation, and I've also explored cryptocurrency trading. I don't present either as a credential.

How I learn

I learn by doing and by studying real examples. I read case studies of successful people and businesses, try ideas in small experiments and keep what works.

Right now I'm working on English communication, marketing strategy, business, entrepreneurship, problem-solving and AI technology. The Areas page has the full list.

How I judge ideas

When I look at a product or an idea, I ask four things:

  • What problem does it solve?
  • How much time or money can it save?
  • Can it reduce complexity?
  • Does it give practical value?

The principles I try to hold myself to are honesty, quality and clear thinking. I also treat privacy as a personal principle.

How AI fits in

I use AI to help with research, strategy, writing, coding and implementation. I can read and edit code with AI assistance, and I don't present AI-assisted work as if I did it alone.

What I bring is direction, experiments, decisions and checking the results. On each project I say what AI did.

Where I'm headed

These are goals, not results:

  • Become a strategic founder.
  • Build one or two stable projects that earn revenue.
  • Grow a recognisable personal brand.

I'm still early. The work and the learning are ongoing.
