Hi, I'm Aloke Pillai

I'm a 34-year-old product designer and investor. I love meeting ambitious builders, hearing their motivations and working with them to make products that people truly love.

I call this body of work steward ventures. The name is a reminder to myself that life is fleeting, and that none of what I have is truly mine. Everything belongs to the Creator of the universe. My time, talents, relationships, and resources have been entrusted to me for a little while. I am not here to own them, but to look after them faithfully and use them for His glory.

We are living in interesting times. We are building things we once thought impossible. Our inventions can make us feel as though we are becoming gods. And yet, beneath all our progress, we remain people searching for meaning, chasing our desires, and trying to find life in things that cannot ultimately give it.

I am a follower of Jesus. I believe He is the Son of God, who came into this world, lived a sinless life, died for our sins, and rose again. I believe that our greatest need isn't to become more powerful, successful, or self-sufficient, but to be reconciled to our Creator. If you turn to Jesus and put your trust in Him, He will forgive you and give you new life.

I have a long way to go in living out these convictions. But this is what I want my life and work to be about: faithfully stewarding what I've been given, loving the people around me, and living for the glory of the One to whom it all belongs.
