The Honest Code races through the life of Dr. Aravind Rao, a creator who never meant to start a revolution. His idea is simple: build an app that helps people understand their health and protect themselves. But the moment it launches, everything explodes. Downloads skyrocket. Investors swarm. Promises multiply faster than he can keep track.
Then the cracks appear.
A small tweak here, a hidden algorithm there—features he never approved begin shaping user behaviour. What was meant to guide now starts to push. What was meant to protect begins to manipulate. Aravind watches his creation twist into something unrecognizable, something dangerous.
When he demands answers, he’s met with a wall of money, power, and denial. The message is clear: stay quiet and enjoy the success… or walk away and lose everything.
Aravind refuses.
With his daughters at his side, he makes a break for honesty, rebuilding a cleaner, truthful version of the app from scratch. But the forces profiting from the corrupted version won’t let go easily. They move fast—faster than he expected.The Honest Code is a breathless chase between truth and greed, a story of a father fighting the system before the system swallows everyone.

Dr. Akshay Gupta
Dr. Akshay Gupta is a practising dentist in Katni, Madhya Pradesh, with over 15 years of clinical experience. Alongside his dental practice, he has ventured into healthcare innovation by developing Intellident, an AI-based application designed for the common man. The app enables users to simply click images using their mobile phones and receive intelligent, preliminary insights—making dental awareness and early guidance more accessible than ever.
The Honest Code emerges from this conviction. Drawing from real interactions in small clinics
and from the evolving world of digital health, Akshay explores how simple ideas can transform
communities when guided by integrity. His writing blends the precision of a clinician with the reflection of a storyteller, examining the delicate balance between innovation and ethics.
Through the journey of Arvind, Mira, and Tara, he brings authenticity to the themes of trust,
conscience, and the human cost of compromise.
When not in his clinic or writing, Akshay remains committed to developing meaningful digital tools that promote early health awareness. His dedication to ethical, people-centred care
continues to shape both his practice and his stories.
