Zonko

The best products were never planned to be legendary.

Instagram was a check-in app. Slack came out of a failed game. YouTube started as video dating. None of those founders woke up saying "I'm going to build a billion-user thing." They shipped, watched real people, and iterated until the world couldn't look away.

That's still how great things happen.

The gap between idea and "holy shit this is everywhere" has never been smaller. Intelligence is on tap, infra is cheap, distribution is instant. A team of ten can now reach a billion screens — if the product is undeniably great.

And the world is still waiting for the first truly global, daily-use, everyone-opens-it product born in India.

Zonko is a frontier AI lab building exactly that.

That's the bar we're playing for. Not "nice AI startup".

tbh, we're not pretending to know the answer on day one. We're shipping fast, watching what spreads, and compounding taste until something breaks through. Every experiment sharpens intuition that can't be copied.

Over the past few weeks, we have worked on ai native canva and are currently nerding out on assistants and ai native social network. Next up on the list is learning and education.

For world-class builders who want to work on cutting edge problems and unbounded upside — this is the place to ship.

For people who get goosebumps thinking about seeing their creation in the hands of billions — this is the journey to watch.

This is Zonko.

We build until something breaks through.

We're 3 people today. Looking to grow the team to 6 by March.

Backed by Accel and the best AI founders in India.
