2. Business & Product Strategy Focus
- Product Direction & Vision: Defining the platform's focus on lightweight, browser-based utilities that solve common document roadblocks without forced logins or expensive subscriptions.
- Feature Ideation: Conceiving and prioritizing new features—from multi-file page extraction and custom watermarks to client-side image converters.
- Identifying User Problems: Studying document workflows in legal, academic, real estate, and business contexts to uncover where traditional online tools introduce unnecessary complexity or upload steps.
- Planning Improvements: Evaluating usability feedback, interface ergonomics, and performance bottlenecks to shape regular product updates.
3. Working with the Development Team
Kushal collaborates closely with co-founder and lead developer Arnab Biswas. In their workflow, Kushal identifies user friction points, designs feature concepts, and outlines user experience requirements. Arnab then evaluates technical feasibility and implements the functionality using client-side JavaScript, HTML5 Canvas, and WebAssembly.
This clear division allows each founder to focus deeply on their core strength: Kushal on product clarity and business direction, and Arnab on technical execution and SEO excellence.
4. Why Merge PDF Exists
Kushal initiated Merge PDF after recognizing that ordinary users, students, and professionals frequently had to upload personal, sensitive documents to third-party web servers just to combine two files or delete a single page.
Believing that straightforward document tasks should not require surrendering file custody to external servers, Kushal set the product directive: Simple PDF tools, without unnecessary uploads.
