About Puvio
Puvio helps you get in the room and stay impossible to forget: Hunter (job search), Grower (wins + brag docs), Mirror (your story, once).
Cold outreach that actually got replies. Then a hard lesson: a tool that only helps you land a job dies the day you succeed. So we rebuilt for the full arc.
July 2025 private beta · researched LinkedIn outreach · vs ~6% industry average
July 2025
The first version of Puvio went out quietly in July 2025 — friends, a handful of professionals, no launch post. Just a link.
230 people used it. Researched LinkedIn outreach was hitting about a 34% reply rate. Cold outreach industry average sits around 6%.
Then the useful part: talking to those users, reading job-search burnout threads, and mapping how people actually manage a career across years — not just one desperate application season.
The product had a structural bug. Every win — a job, an internship, a reply that turned into a loop — ended with the person leaving. Success and churn were the same event.
We had optimized a leaky bucket.
“People don’t respond to information. They respond to feeling understood.”
Architecture
So we stopped answering “how do I help someone get hired faster?” and started answering “what does someone need across the whole career arc — search, employed years, and the next move?”
That became three modes on one ledger. Mirror holds a living profile. Hunter runs researched job search on a board. Grower logs wins and exports brag docs before review season. Useful whether you’re hunting or already inside.
What we ship
Today
V2 shipped. Hunter, Grower, and Mirror are live.
The problem is still real. The approach is still different from trackers and resume scanners. People who used the early build kept saying it changed how they thought about their own career — that’s enough signal to keep shipping.
Belief
The job market doesn’t mainly filter for talent. It filters for visibility, timing, and whether you can put your value in front of the person who actually owns the seat.
Most tools optimize spray-and-pray or keyword games. Puvio is built for the other path: know the role, know who hires, send a note that proves you did the homework — and keep a record of your work so promotions aren’t a scramble from memory.
Your work deserves to be seen. Your career deserves a system that remembers what you’ve built.
Founding
In my second year of college, I was applying for internships the way everyone does. Mass applications, generic emails, LinkedIn connection requests that disappeared into the void. Automated rejection emails if I was lucky. Usually nothing.
I got frustrated enough to test a theory.
Instead of applying through portals, I started reaching founders and CXOs directly on LinkedIn — but with messages built entirely around them. Their recent posts, their company’s current challenges, a specific observation about something they’d publicly shared. No template. No pitch. Just genuine research compressed into a single, relevant message.
People started replying. Not just politely — actually engaging. I got interviews I had no business getting based on my college name alone.
I became obsessed with understanding why this worked when everything else didn’t.
The answer was obvious once I saw it: people don’t respond to information. They respond to feeling understood. Every generic message signals that you didn’t care enough to look. A researched message signals the opposite — before you’ve said anything about yourself.
The problem was that building one of these messages properly took me around 34 minutes. Research, synthesis, drafting, editing. 34 minutes per message, for a process that still might not work.
So I built a tool that does it in under 90 seconds.
I’m Deepam. I started Puvio in Jaipur. The product is the point of this page; this is just who shipped the early versions.
