A solo founder who reaches the $1M mark has to deal with the hit-by-a-bus problem sooner or later. For me, that point came in 2020. I reached out to Bireswar Singh, my childhood classmate, friend and mentor, and took his advice to add more co-founders. 🤝
In 2022, I brought on my two closest buddies from my Engineering days and formed a new management team. The idea was to put in a couple of years, get Scribie past the $5M mark, and then exit. However, the old adage that the best way to lose friends is to get into business with them turned out to be true. Things went south, and we split up in August 2023. It was devastating for me personally. 😔
Thankfully, Yukti Yatish, my spouse and biggest supporter, stepped in. She took over as the interim CEO and worked tirelessly. Bireswar has now taken over as the full-time CEO, and he has an exciting new vision and roadmap for Scribie. 🌟
I have seen the transcription industry transform from a fully human process to a majority automated one over the last decade. Gen AI unlocks even more use cases and opportunities for innovation in the industry. Scribie, with its new management team and a new roadmap, is well-positioned to leverage these advancements and deliver cutting-edge solutions. 🚀
I couldn't be more excited about this new chapter of Scribie. I have put in my life's best years in it, and it feels so satisfying to see it grow without me at the helm. Startups are hard, but moments like these make it all worth it. 😊
Here's to new beginnings and the bright future ahead for Scribie as we navigate the exciting world of GenAI-powered transcription! 🎉

We are thrilled to share a significant milestone in Scribie's journey!
Bireswar Singh is set to take the helm as our new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
Bringing over 22 years of experience, Bireswar has held leadership positions at major firms, including Teleperformance and IBM. His strategic mindset and industry insights position him as the ideal leader to guide Scribie toward new heights.
In this transition, we extend our deepest gratitude to our outgoing interim CEO, Yukti Yatish, whose dynamic leadership has played a pivotal role in Scribie's success. Yukti will now take on the role of Chief Operating Officer (COO), ensuring a seamless transition and continued excellence.
This change isn't just a passing of the torch; it's a strategic alignment of leaders committed to excellence. Bireswar's fresh perspectives and innovative strategies align perfectly with Scribie's commitment to innovation and growth.
