The Story
While still in college, Sidharth co-founded ThinkDough with two others. The idea was straightforward: a platform where the three of them could publish their own analysis on industries and markets, covering topics from finance to economics.
The motivation was genuine curiosity, not a class project. Sidharth had been reading about how markets and startups work, and ThinkDough was a way to turn that curiosity into something structured and shareable.
The platform ran for a couple of years. It gave Sidharth an early habit of forming a view on a market, writing it up, and putting it in front of readers, a practice that carried directly into his later research roles.
