Shaurya Pandya is an American entrepreneur, designer, photographer, writer, and the CEO of Bolden.
Beginning his entrepreneurial exploration at 15, Shaurya Pandya first founded the media company, @overtherock, which was a company based on reporting on politics, tech, and culture in a vocal speaking style, where he wrote over 170 articles (and growing). These articles have been known to be incredibly vocal, and hard hitting on the education system, bigotry, and creators.
In May of 2017, the company launched Midnight, where Shaurya first revealed his interest in design, revealing it as the 'designer blog'. It was initially designed to be a new version of Over there, featuring a bold color scheme, card- based posts, stylized sans-serif fontfaces, and a navbar on top, which took you to the websites assistant. He also introduced #Labs, a pets program for @overtherock.
Midnight was marketed as the first subsidiary of @overtherock, and went on to create 2 more applications, called Composed (a all in one social media platform) and the @overtherock app.
By Summer 2017, operations on the @overtherock and Composed app were unexpectedly dropped. In late August, in his second keynote, Shaurya announced that the company would be pivoting onto a new brand platform.
In the keynote, Shaurya revealed a new website know as Glance, which was initially marketed as an operating system for the web. It was a website that featured a brand new suite of Websites that included the Midnight website, @overtherock, and 5 new websites know as #tag, @ovtrk music, Composed(2.0), Photoshoot, and Writer.
Glance was praised for it's elegant design and powerful features, but was later pivoted to a operating baseline due to the amount of time it took to be able to update and maintain the platform.
As Shaurya's interest in shifting his company to move towards design, rather than media, he came up with an idea for an online workstation, which was codenamed 'Bistro'.
The project was later killed when Shaurya pivoted entirely to designer tech, and would spend the next two months crafting Glance into a brand new website that would be fully automated.
Rather than using a fully closed system, Shaurya turned the site into an internet navigation tool, when he came up with the idea of interface linking.
As the website grew further and further, it's design became a bigger and bigger part. He would rename this site 'Bistro'
Then, on December 9th, 2917, Shaurya Pandya launched it as an upscale way to navigate the web. It's user interface would take minimal effort to use, be incredibly sleek in it's style, and boast features like a browser wide audio enhancing codec and context-navigation.
The site would once again be praised for it's incredible design, as well as it's high immersiveness, loaded features, and simplistic concept.
The site shows no signs of dying, and most likely won't, thanks to fully automated updating on the website.
It can be found on www.thebistrosite.com
However, under the new release, Midnight, Composed, @overtherock app, #labs, #tag, @ovtrkmusic, and #writer will no longer be supported
The parent brand of this website and overtherock would then be known as Bolden.
On the side, Shaurya has published multiple landscape and city photos on platforms such as VSCO, Instagram, and his very own Photoshoot websites.
Shaury's biggest works included being the site designer, ideamaker, and developer behind both Bistro and Glance as well as Midnight, all 3 of which were praised highly for their aesthetics.
He is also the sole operator of @overtherock, where he developed a personality that favored brutal honest, and a philosophy of breaking 'bad rules.'
He has been known to profanely insult the education system he's been under in using both strong vocal language and insulting sentences in one-liner sentences.
His work has consistently been focused on reflecting powerful design, creative expression, rebellion, lifestyle, experience, and depth.
