Pioneered the live production studio — multi-source video, live streaming and broadcast controls for event organizers.
Engineering Lead · Zuddl
Hi, I'm Yugantar.
I build real-time
systems & the companies around them.
Engineer by trade, founder by instinct, traveler by habit. Today I lead engineering at Zuddl; before that I founded and co-founded three startups — from a crypto exchange to a rental marketplace. On the side I run Court Crafted, a padel & pickleball bag brand, build ScoreThis, and film my own games as yug.courtside. The rest of the time I'm chasing new places and a good padel rally.
01 / Work
Building the engine behind live events
At Zuddl I've grown from engineer to engineering lead, owning systems for streaming, networking and engagement at scale — after a founder's start across three startups.
Smart Networking
Designed a recommendation engine that matches attendees to connect with, from system design to matching algorithm to full-stack delivery.
Networking & Feedback
Built the Networking and Feedback modules end-to-end — the connective tissue that keeps attendees engaged through an event.
Building on the side
Court Crafted & ScoreThis
Two padel & pickleball ventures outside the day job — a D2C bag brand I run, and a tournament app I build. Both exist because I love the sport enough to fix what's missing around it.

03 / Life
Off the clock
These days that mostly means a padel court, the Goa coastline, and figuring out what's worth building next.
Padel
My current obsession — I build ScoreThis for it, run Court Crafted around it, and film my own games as yug.courtside. Always up for a game.
Living in Goa
Traded the desert for the coast. Beaches, slower mornings, and a great base to work from.
Tinkering
Side projects, new tools, and the occasional rabbit hole. Curiosity is the hobby.
