About this site

I'm Bankim Bhagat. I'm the first person in my family to start a business, so I learned most of what I know by building things and getting them wrong first. Technology is my strongest suit and the tool I use for almost everything. Cars are my other love. Although I don't tinker with them myself, but I could talk about them all day.

What I do - I run an Apple retail store.                                                                                                  - I co-founded a travel company and a business automation company.                        - I'm building a free, open-source point-of-sale system for retail shops, restaurants and salons.                                                                                                                  

These are chapters of the story, not the whole of it.

How I write First person, plain language, and opinionated. If I haven't used it, I won't pretend I have.
