Major Milestones
2018-2023

Built the physics-to-AI foundation at Waterloo

Studied Mathematical Physics at the University of Waterloo, drawn by theoretical physics, quantum computing, and the startup environment. That technical base became the launchpad for work in applied AI.

2020

Co-founded WOMBO

Helped start WOMBO, an AI entertainment company built around making advanced generative AI feel instant, viral, and usable by normal people.

2021-2022

Scaled WOMBO into a viral consumer AI app

As AI lead, helped solve the scalability problem for a lip-syncing AI app that reached roughly 50 million downloads, added around 500,000 downloads per day, and served 2 to 2.5 million daily active users during its early viral run.

2022

Helped turn Dream by WOMBO into an award-winning AI art app

Dream brought text-to-image generation to a mass consumer audience and was recognized as Google's App of the Year. Apple also featured WOMBO Dream as a developer spotlight.

2022

WOMBO was selected for AI Grant Batch 1

WOMBO was listed in the first AI Grant company batch, the Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross-backed program for AI-native startups, alongside Perplexity, Cursor, Replicate, Chroma, and other early AI companies.

2023

Led AI work on Wombo Me

Helped launch Wombo Me, a single-selfie AI avatar app covered by TechCrunch for its instant avatar generation and longer-term multimodal identity direction.

2024

WOMBO crossed 200M+ downloads and raised new capital

WOMBO announced a $9 million round led by Round13 Digital Asset Fund, with participation from NVIDIA, CoreWeave, SBI, Web3.com, and others. By then WOMBO had surpassed 200 million downloads, with WOMBO and WOMBO Dream both reaching #1 in more than 100 countries.

2025-now

Building OMEGA Labs

Founded OMEGA Labs to work on open-source AGI infrastructure, OMEGA Focus, screen-aware AI, and systems that maximize human agency and reduce suffering.

2026

Turned parshant.com into a public thought archive

Started publishing essays, frameworks, research syntheses, and personal operating-system artifacts directly to the web. The site is meant to keep getting richer as more work, media, and receipts accumulate.
