About
Hi, I'm Mayank. I run EPYC, I build things without writing much code, and I teach leaders how to actually use AI.
The internet knows me as @nocodeguy. Here's my short version:
The foundation is electrical and robotics engineering. Then design took over — DesignBoat, then PeopleWho.Design. Communities are where I learned fastest.
2020: started EPYC and co-founded PeopleWho.Build, India's first no-code school. 1,000+ students. Acquired by GrowthSchool within a year. Kept teaching — 12,000+ people so far.
Built Magic to $175K ARR, profitable. Shut it down anyway — vitamin, not painkiller. Kept the lesson.
EPYC today: 70+ organisations across India, the US and the UK. Polygon, Accel, upGrad, GoKwik, Plum. Run with Keshav and Prateek.

What I'm working on these days.
None of this is a pivot. Engineering taught me machines. No-code taught me access. Design taught me people. What's on the bench needs all three.
Saathi, at Access Labs. A voice-first AI companion for elderly Indians. Local inference, Hindi first, no screen. A retro radio in brass and khadi. Prototype v1 is on the bench.
Making leaders AI-native. Teams pay a hidden context tax — re-explaining the company to every tool, every time. I teach the systems that kill it: Inc42's AI Workshop, the GTM Playbook, the Masters' Union bootcamp.
After hours. The Nagpal Workshop — photography, writing, electronics. And SaaSBoomi volunteering, since the Accel days. Avinash wrote about it.
