Beyond the screen
A glimpse, not a diary.
HOME
Home
Deadlines move. Bedtime does not.
FITNESS
Fitness freak
The gym is not a hobby, it is the maintenance schedule. Body first, then the build.
Illustrated from photographs — not the photographs themselves.
The things that keep the tank full
The boys, first
Time with my two sons is the one thing that does not get rescheduled. Everything else moves around it.
Cooking
Not a hobby. It is where the creativity goes when the screen is off — and honestly, part of what keeps me going.
Sufi music
Long nights, sufi on repeat. Nothing else clears the head the same way.
Long drives
The road, no destination, and whatever is playing. Best thinking happens somewhere on a highway.
Shiva and Krishna
I try to walk that path — Shiva’s stillness and Krishna’s playfulness. Two ways of holding the same life.
Marvel, as a family
We are a house full of Marvel fans — and in this house, all hail Iron Man.
Single malt
Malts, neat. Monkey Shoulder is one of the best to have — it blends with my taste.
Portfolio
What I build
Ventures of my own, and client work alongside. Every client project runs on a live progress portal.
FlagshipThe two products the company is built around.

Founder & Managing Director
Teatalz is a social network built for positivity instead of outrage. It is AI-native from the ground up: every post is checked before anyone sees it. Adda is the feed, where posts fade after seven days and there is no downvote. Inside the network, each person also gets a private space with a companion called Ru.

Questions
Straight answers
The things people actually ask before we start.
What is CodeUpVik?
CodeUpVik is the web, app and AI development practice of Vikram Bhargava. It covers websites, mobile apps, AI automation, social media, startup consulting and investor documentation — strategy through launch, run by one person rather than an agency.
Who is Vikram Bhargava?
Vikram Bhargava is the founder of CodeUpVik and Managing Director of Teatalz. Fifteen years across hospitality, edtech, industrial sales and product — he has raised money for his own company and still writes the code himself.
Do you work alone or with a team?
Alone, and that is the point. You talk to the person who does the work — no account manager in between, nothing lost in a handover. For bigger builds I bring in people I have worked with before, and I stay responsible for all of it.
What does a website or app cost?
It depends on what you actually need, so I do not publish a price list. After a thirty-minute call you get one number and what it covers — not a range that moves later. If your budget and the work do not meet, I will say so on that call rather than after.
How long does it take?
It depends on scope, and you get a date on the discovery call — not a guess afterwards. A simple site is fast; an app with accounts and payments is not. Whatever the answer is, you see progress in your client portal from the first week.
Can you handle the marketing too, or only the build?
Both. Most developers build and stop; most marketers cannot build. I do positioning, launch strategy and social media as well as the product itself — which is why the thing that ships is the thing people actually find.
What if I only need part of the work?
That is fine. I take the whole thing or step into the part you are stuck on — a broken site, a deck that is not landing, an automation nobody has time to build. You are not obliged to hand over everything.
What happens on the discovery call?
Thirty minutes, no charge, no pitch deck. You tell me what you are building or trying to grow, and I tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it and what it would take. If I am not, I will say that too.
Can I see the work while it is happening?
Yes. Every client gets a private portal with progress, milestones, files, daily updates and payments in one place. You sign in with a link sent to your email — there is no password to remember.
