Shashwat Murarka, CEO of doorstep.ai, charts a remarkable journey characterized by diligence and adaptability. Prior to founding doorstep, he successfully launched an independent e-commerce venture during the pandemic. From the venture’s inception, Shashwat single-handedly orchestrated the development of the website, growth strategies, and payment systems.

Notably, Shashwat’s commitment to intimately understanding business problems led him to work as a delivery driver, gaining firsthand experience and insights into the challenges faced by the industry. Under his leadership, doorstep.ai has garnered recognition in the prestigious Antler Founders Residency in New York City, securing a significant half-million-dollar investment from the venture capital arm. Shashwat’s story reflects resilience, strategic vision, and a commitment to entrepreneurial excellence.
