We got tired of watching good work disappear into bad operations.
Rive is an operating workspace for independent professionals and digital service businesses. Open beta, open signup: the client, the delivery, the Agreement, the invoice, the calendar, the import, and the public proof live in one loop. It is built by a small team in the same world—client promises, delivery pressure, and the need to make finished work earn its next opportunity.
THE PREMISE
Every tool was doing its job. We were doing the integration.
A project manager could not see the Agreement. The invoice did not know the milestone. The portfolio started from a blank page after the real work was already complete. Rive began with a simpler question: what if the context moved with the work?
HOW WE BUILD
Truth before theatre.
Real workflows
Features begin with an actual operating moment: a promise changes, a deadline moves, a payment lands, or a project becomes proof.
Deliberate actions
Sending, accepting, publishing, and importing stay explicit. Connected does not mean automatic without consent.
Your data is yours
Your records are not our leverage. Ownership stays with you. Export and portability are next on the roadmap—not a product we can hand you today.
THE TEAM
Three people. One operating problem.
Founder · Product & Engineering · Bengaluru
Arnav Bhattacharya
Arnav builds the product and the systems underneath it. He stays close to the unglamorous edge cases because independent work is only calm when the software is dependable.
Cofounder · Markets, Ops & Community
Agnik Chakravorty
Agnik studies how people and businesses actually operate—the handoffs, vendor decisions, and trust that never fit neatly inside a workflow diagram.
Cofounder · Strategy & Growth
Druhin Basu
Druhin turns market structure into a story people can use. He works across strategy, growth, and the difficult question behind every feature: why should this matter now?
Put the context back in the work.
