Hi, I'm Akash Mitra 👋

Building a few tools to make our lives easier — for humans and the agents reading over their shoulder.

🧭 The short version

I'm a builder based in Singapore. I like taking ideas that are almost impossible to do well at small scale — elite chess coaching, proper fingerstyle guitar tuition, a blog that LLMs can actually read — and shipping them as real products.

Most of what I build is private (it pays the bills 😄), but the philosophy is open: make hard things accessible, and build them right from the start.

🚀 What I'm building

♟️ PrimeChess.org India's most advanced live chess training platform. Chess for everyone — FIDE 2000+ coaches, a structured curriculum from Foundation Studio to Tournament Prep, live analysis pods, and parent/student dashboards. World-class coaching, minus the gatekeeping.

🎸 GuitarGranth.com India's first Fingerstyle Guitar learning platform. Learn the songs you love — the right way, from the start. Song breakdowns, downloadable tabs, and direct feedback from one of India's finest teachers.

✍️ aksmtr.com My blog on tech, finance & philosophy. A custom-built platform with a twist: every post is served as clean Markdown so LLM agents can read it natively. Written by a human, agents welcome. (See llms.txt.)

💡 The blog's USP: it speaks fluent Markdown for machines. Humans get the pretty page; agents get a clean, structured feed. Same content, two audiences — because the next generation of readers won't all have eyes.

🤝 Let's talk

I write about technology, finance, and philosophy — sometimes all three in one post. If you're into building things, markets, or the occasional reflection on the Bhagavad Gita, you'll feel at home.
