Founder, The Curated Knot
Abhinav Jain is the founder of The Curated Knot, an AI-powered wedding planning platform built for Indian weddings. He built it after planning his own wedding — a 500-guest, multi-event celebration that revealed how badly existing tools handle the complexity of Indian shaadis: multiple events, massive guest lists, last-minute changes, and coordination across families spread across cities.
Before founding The Curated Knot, Abhinav worked in product and technology. He writes about practical wedding planning — budgets, timelines, guest management, and how technology is changing how Indian couples plan their celebrations.
