#AskDushyant Reflections on Technology, Memoir & Thoughtful Living
Most people write on platforms. I built mine. NextStruggle is a self-developed thinking ecosystem where ideas don’t just get published—they evolve. It combines technology, experience, and structured expression into a compounding system of knowledge. Owning both the platform and the thinking layer allows me to move beyond content into creation of intelligence itself. As a founder, I’m transforming this into the AskDushyant AI persona—where human experience meets machine scalability. “I don’t publish thoughts—I build systems that think and evolve.”

I have done many adventurous things in life, but nothing matched the adrenaline rush of riding a Harley Davidson on open roads. That belief changed completely when I decided to learn horse riding in April 2025 at Uma Public School, Greater Noida. The horse riding school had some of the finest and most powerful horses I had ever seen. To start with i want to make statement with old saying that if you can ride a horse, you can control the state, and I experienced it firsthand. On my first day, I made the classic beginner mistake of leaning forward…
My professional life is deeply shaped by startup experiences in Gurgaon’s booming startup culture. Although I worked with several traditional corporate offices, my heart always leaned toward my first startups Desiya Online Travel. While passing out of college, I dreamed of working at companies born in basements or garages like Apple, Google etc. That dream became reality at my very first company, Desiya Online Travel Pvt. Ltd., Gurgaon. We truly worked at a basement startup, operating from founder Amit Taneja’s DLF Phase 2 bungalow. Desiya was transforming the travel and hospitality industry, especially hotel bookings, long before it became mainstream…
In December 2012, I found an innovative way to break the monotony of office life and boost my team’s creativity at PeopleStrong HR Tech, sector 34 gurgaon office. As a leader, I firmly believe that regular motivation at workplace is crucial for employee retention—far more impactful than monetary rewards or occasional outings. To inspire creativity, innovation and out-of-the-box thinking, I personally organized a Rubik’s Cube challenge for my tech team.The premise was simple: solve the Rubik’s Cube, and the winner gets a hearty lunch treat on me. To make it inclusive, I offered smaller rewards for solving single or multiple…

Every enterprise wants an AI agent that can read the contract, touch the customer database, and make a decision — and almost every enterprise is terrified to let it. That…
Walk into any boardroom in 2026 and you’ll hear it within the first ten minutes: “We need a frontier AI model strategy.” Nobody stops to define it. Everybody nods anyway….
A director at a mid-sized software company recently told me her team went from eleven direct reports to four in few months — and shipped more. Not because she cut…
A year ago, “AI agent” was a buzzword teams used in slide decks. Today, it’s a colleague. It opens pull requests, triages bugs overnight, and writes the first draft of…

I’m Dushyant Gadewal—#AskDushyant, a small-town dreamer turned tech entrepreneur and advisor. From chasing cricket dreams and Indian Army SSB interviews to riding solo across India, my journey has been fueled by passion, curiosity, and a relentless drive to explore the unconventional.
My professional foundation was laid at NIT Rourkela, where I graduated in Computer Science & Engineering in 2006—an experience that shaped my problem-solving mindset and long-term view of technology.
Over the last two decades, I’ve lived and worked through the Gurgaon–NCR startup ecosystem, experiencing it across multiple cycles—early-stage experimentation, rapid scale-ups, and acquisitions. My journey spans hands-on roles at Travelguru (Desiya), Vriti Infocom, and Nagarro, where I operated in fast-moving environments that demanded product-first thinking and execution at speed.
In 2010, I joined PeopleStrong as an early member of the core technology team, where I played a hands-on role in shaping the platform’s foundational product architecture. Over nearly a decade, I had the opportunity to see the organisation scale into one of India’s leading HR technology companies. Importantly, this journey gave me perspective not only as a technologist, but also as a shareholder—including exit participation in its April 2025—Goldman Sachs–led transaction—and, therefore, a front-row view of how disciplined long-term technology and product decisions compound into sustainable enterprise value.
These experiences ultimately came together in the founding of ArcTop Labs, my own venture recognized under the #StartupIndia DIPP7405 initiative. Here, I apply everything learned from the startup trenches—building scalable, resilient technology platforms designed for real-world business impact, not just launch-day success.
In 2022, after two decades in the industry, I stepped away from full-time employment #RetireAt40 to pursue work rooted in freedom, creativity, and long-term impact. Now, I guide students, startups, and businesses as a tech advisor—helping them align technology with vision, growth, and strategic clarity.
Through my blog, NextStruggle, I share personal memoirs, tech insights, and social reflections drawn from a life of experiments, risks, and reinvention.
Let’s connect if you’re building, transforming, or simply seeking clarity in your tech journey.
