I start with problems I’ve lived, and build things that make them feel simpler.

About

I’m Aditya Raj. I founded Axiom Creative Media Agency, a content and media studio that builds brand storytelling, social content and digital presence for founders and businesses.



Running the agency revealed a broader problem: teams, their work, and AI conversations were scattered across disconnected tools. That firsthand experience led me to build Cursus, a workspace for teams and agents to work together.

I read, question, and build from zero. I like being around people who challenge how I think.

What People say

Perspectives from friends and people I build with.

Portrait of Yash Maderna

Yash Maderna

Best friend & co-founder

Aditya questions everything and isn’t afraid to build from zero. He’s one of the most fun people to work with, but he brings real intensity when it’s time to build. And when it matters, he shows up. That’s the best friend I know.

VP of Operations

Aditya keeps coming back to one question: what’s actually getting in the way? He’s willing to rethink the plan, not just defend it. Working with him means honest conversations and turning big ideas into the next practical step.

Independent Developer

Aditya brings a clear sense of why something should exist, but he’s open to being challenged on how it should work. The interesting part is the back-and-forth—questioning assumptions, trying things, and making the idea more concrete.
