About

Vineet Rawat

Founder & CTO

Self-taught full-stack engineer with 4+ years building production systems. Backend and architecture focus: Python, Django, TypeScript, React. Built CapturePro solo to 34,000+ installs. Now running Rawat Innovations as a bootstrapped, solo studio in Uttarakhand.

Rawat Innovations Pvt. Ltd. was incorporated in May 2025 in Uttarakhand, India. It is a solo, bootstrapped studio. No outside funding, no team yet.

The focus is on building software that is simple to use and accessible to everyone. Accessibility is not treated as a checkbox — it is part of the design from the start. That matters here because a meaningful share of India's population navigates the web with assistive technology, and because usable software should be usable by all.

NearbyConnect is the current primary build. LocalBizLabs and contract work fund the studio while NearbyConnect moves through alpha.
