Summary
Sanskar, a solo founder from Bangalore, explains how a portfolio of small software products crossed $1 million in total revenue over six years. Of more than 30 products built, eight generated revenue, with no employees and roughly a thousand monthly paying customers. This Starter Story interview, hosted by Gus, breaks down the system behind them.
His biggest product, MagicSlides, converts documents, PDFs, and YouTube videos into editable presentations. Others include Ask Video and Talking PDF, which let users chat with video and documents, a Chrome extension called Blur Web App that hides sensitive information, Sheet AI for Google Sheets, and Magic Form for Google Forms. Many are built as Chrome extensions or Google Workspace add-ons.
The conversation covers how Sanskar finds ideas, including browsing revenue-sharing platforms like TrustMRR, following the right people on Twitter, solving problems people will pay for, and placing a buy button before building the product. He also describes the early years with little revenue, AppSumo deals worth over $85,000, and the steps he would follow to launch a new product from scratch today.
