Digital creator & Story teller

My Story

I am Manoj Nayak—a published author, vibe-coder, and communication specialist driven by a passion for a better world for humanity.

My journey has been anything but linear. I inherited my father’s manufacturing business and ran it into the ground over fourteen years. But engineers can do anything, right? So I pivoted: organizing salsa dance parties, teaming up with a friend for jazz & poetry events, launching hyperlocal newspapers, and building online communities. I did that for twelve years. Can you believe it?

Happiness is the Purpose of Life

I long for connections and bliss. Where have those beautiful connections of our childhood disappeared? There’s a word for it in Hindi that has no English equivalent: Apnapan—that sense of unconditional belonging.

In my personal life, I want to discover if there is a God, and then get some powers. Just for fun. Reading and writing are my great sources of happiness now, as more rigorous activities like sports and sex are out of reach. 🥱 Yeah, the hard facts about getting old.

I Am a Bad Polymath in My Work

Apparently, I’m a “strategic builder and digital innovator operating at the intersection of technology and storytelling.” That’s what the fancy bio says, anyway. In reality, I run GTM Labs where I use data-driven probabilistic modeling to help businesses figure out their Go-to-Market strategies (translation: I try to remove the guesswork). With UWC Digital, I translate big visionary ideas into stories people actually want to read. And now with Vibe Built Tech, I’m building digital products that—fingers crossed—people will actually enjoy using.

Basically, I architect ideas, forecast market success, and occasionally get things right. But I’m terribly addicted to vibe-coding, so please check out the apps I’ve built in the Apps section of my portfolio.

Papa is a Rolling Stone

The nomad bug has hit me hard. I’m on the road with just two sets of kurta and pyjama, three underwear, one pair of shorts and a T-shirt, one jacket, and my sleeping bed sheets. Since January 2025, I’ve been to Mahakumbh for two months, Benaras and Rishikesh for two months, Jaipur for another two months, and I’m currently stationed in Udupi for God knows how many days or months.

I think I’m running away from technology to explore the world. I don’t want more technology in my life—I want to meet as many people as possible and have conversations rather than sit in front of my devices.

Revitalized by AI

The world of AI has given me a second wind in my career. When I thought I had nothing left to work on, AI came to the rescue.

My Portfolio

This portfolio is a window into my world of creation.

Start with my book—it’s free to read and download at thebbc.shop. I poured my heart into it, and I’d love for you to experience it.

Check out my app section too. Try the Hanuman Chalisa translation app—I believe the Hanuman Chalisa is the most beautiful Indian literature ever written. My note-taking app is a bestseller, and my essay-writing app is as sexy as writing apps can get (with a lot of bugs 🙄). My newsletters are full of me, but if you want to indulge, go ahead and subscribe. My Medium articles are a mixed bag, but my Scroll Stack long-form stories are also worth exploring—check out “Sadhu Laxmandas” from my Rishikesh experience.

And feel free to drop a line anytime!
