Making coaching accessible
for everyone.

Vishal VermaCo-Founder & CTO

Vishal studied robotics, physics, and systems design at IIT Delhi — a combination that taught him to move comfortably between hardware-level thinking and distributed systems architecture. After college, he built MVPs for early-stage startups and ran his own ventures, learning the hard way what it takes to ship from zero to one. Where most engineers pursue an MBA to broaden their thinking, Vishal chose to prepare for the Indian Civil Services — widely regarded as one of the toughest managerial selections in the world. Three years of studying economics, ethics, governance, history, and public policy — with physics as his optional — gave him a systems-level understanding of how institutions, incentives, and human behavior actually work.

Health challenges eventually redirected his path, but they also crystallized something: the systems that were supposed to help people grow — in government, in corporations, everywhere — were fundamentally broken. When he and Amit connected, the conviction was immediate and mutual. Today, Vishal is responsible for Dehurdle’s entire technology stack — the zero-payload privacy engine, the behavioral intelligence pipeline, the real-time voice simulation infrastructure, and the agentic coaching layer. When he’s not building, he’s usually reading research papers in developmental psychology, computational neuroscience, or AI alignment — and occasionally writing opinion pieces about them. He also plays competitive chess, which probably explains the obsession with long-term positional thinking.
