Summary

Founder & fintech product lead: Gaurav co‑founded Spenny in 2019 and led its product and engineering work. The company was accepted to Y Combinator (W20) and later was acqui‑hired by CRED in June 2023, demonstrating experience taking a consumer fintech product from experimentation to accelerator backing and an exit. spenny+3
Hands‑on full‑stack engineering background: Public freelancer/Upwork presence positions him as a full‑stack engineer who builds end‑to‑end product and shipping systems — a profile consistent with founders who also operate as early engineering leads. upwork
Early‑stage builder with accelerator experience: involvement with Entrepreneur First and Y Combinator (W20) shows repeated participation in top startup programs and a focus on building and iterating early product experiments into investor‑backed startups. joinef+1
