About

A team that wanted to keep building.

PUFOUNDERBANGALORE · EST 2026

Upraun is a small product studio based in Bangalore — engineers, designers and partners who build and run consumer + B2B products together.

We're led by Piyush Kumar Upadhyay— 12+ years across Accenture, CGI and Intuit before going full-time on Upraun. Named after his son Raunak. The studio started because the things we wanted to use didn't exist yet — a real private theatre booking site in Bangalore, a way for the auntie three doors up to sell tiffin to the neighbour who needs it. So we started building.

Why we work this way

The work is the receipts.

Most product-building advice is theatre — frameworks for talking about what you'd build, with very little of the actual building. Upraun is the opposite of that. Six ventures, three live, all running on the same stack we'd set up for you.

When we take on a partner build, you get the same team that'd be running it if it were ours. Same care, same on-call, same insistence that the slot template is right.
