8 metro cities account for majority of India’s startups That is not a talent problem. That is an access problem. Thousands of ambitious builders in Tier 4, Tier 5, and Tier 6 districts are still building without the capital, mentorship, networks, early customers, and belief that founders in metro cities often take for granted. At Shifu Foundation, we are on a mission to change that. Through the Shifu Fellowship, we are identifying and supporting high-potential founders from underserved districts across India & helping them access funding, mentorship, ecosystem support, and the networks needed to build revenue-generating companies. The next wave of Indian entrepreneurship will not just come only from Bangalore, Delhi, or Mumbai.It will come from Siwan, Gonda, Bokaro, Nellore and every district where ambition exists but opportunity has not yet reached.

Helping startups on the platform implement AI into their products and operations — automating manual workflows, improving product quality, and freeing up teams to focus on core features. Worked closely with 10+ teams to identify where AI actually adds leverage (not just hype), and shipped practical, production-ready use cases that made their products more scalable and better positioned for growth and fundraising.

Led Skynet (no-code AI agent platform) — defined product direction, worked on token design, and supported early fundraising (~$250K raised). Built(aka vibecoded) Klippy AI - video generation on decentralized GPUs, where I worked on optimizing model pipelines to make video generation faster (scaled to 55K+ NFTs minted). Also led the Road to TGE campaign — grew it to 700K+ users from scratch using gamified XP systems and viral loops. I vibe-coded the initial version of the campaign platform myself — it scaled fast and eventually broke under load, which honestly validated the level of demand we were seeing. Across these, I focused on building incentive-driven growth loops (tokens, XP, NFTs) that connected product usage with distribution. Also built developer onboarding funnels through example repos, tooling, and technical videos to make it easier for builders to get started.

About

Built and exited my first company. Learned one thing: every business hits a ceiling where adding more people stops working. AI removes that ceiling. seerum.ai makes companies AI-native — we embed with your team, find what's still manual, and deploy AI that replaces it. Not tools you have to learn. Not a strategy deck that collects dust. Actual systems that run. If your company is growing but your processes aren't keeping up, let's talk. seerum.ai
