I don’t take risks. I take experiences.

Born on 24 April 1991 (35 years old), I was a school topper until eighth standard, and my teachers called me “the computer” for calculation and mathematics. Then I lost interest in academics entirely. I felt no purpose in it, and left in 2009 after twelfth. After exploring different programs, I finally joined an IT company on 1 May 2010. In 2011, at 19 years old, I started my entrepreneurship journey with a website development company, and have been building since. Companies across AI, ecosystem development, education, capital, real estate and global delivery, and more than ₹250 crore (about $26 million) raised to fund them.

I design from a blank page and stay through execution. The rest of the time I teach and mentor: ten thousand students on our platform, three thousand institutions in the conversation, and a hundred-odd conclaves making the same argument, that a region should produce companies of its own, not only talent.

I’m on a mission to make Kerala a Silicon Valley.

Silicon Valley was orchards before it was Silicon Valley. What turned it was groundwork, and groundwork follows a formula: infrastructure, then talent, then innovation, in that order.

The ground
Infrastructure

Places to build, close enough to walk to. A region cannot produce founders if the nearest room with a plug and a mentor is a district away.

The people
Talent

Technical ability found early and taught in the language the student already thinks in, not filtered by who could afford to move to a metro at eighteen.

The output
Innovation

Ventures started here and kept here, so that the value they create compounds locally instead of leaving with the founder.
