A girl from Kozhikode built a tech company without knowing tech. Soorya Parambath had zero development experience. But when clients needed solutions, she didn't say "not my field." She studied customer requirements deeply. Drew visualizations and diagrams on Figma. Got hands-deep into CRM customization. Her mentor, Thomman, Thomas George from Lead College, believed in her. Started her company in a tiny room with a balcony. Right opposite her college in Palakkad. Convenient for meeting co-founding members. Hired first employees through mutual references. All local talents from Palakkad. Then COVID hit. Right after launch. She faced challenges everywhere: → to balance what customers paid with staff salaries → to write a proper business proposal (she had no clue) → to afford travel costs for client meetings → to cover basic expenses like rent and electricity The lifeline? Her work bringing 180 admissions to Lead College. Thomman offered her a lump sum for this service. But the genius part - he converted it to monthly payments. That steady income became her financial buffer during the struggle. Today, OHO SOLUTIONS is Kerala's only Zoho Premium Partner. Her advice: "Always set a financial buffer before starting." Without it, basic expenses can drain resources and create unnecessary struggles. Sometimes you need someone who believes in you before you believe in yourself. And sometimes "I'll figure it out" beats "I already know it all." Stay tuned to know the final part of the story… !

The halwa that impressed @amangupta0303 He tasted it. He loved it. Now he’s backing Fulva. Excited to welcome @amangupta0303 as an investor.

This guy went from writing code in his college dorm to co-founding Entri .app - and now they're serving 10 MILLION+ learners across India. But here's the kicker - he's not your typical "move fast and break things" founder. Rahul Ramesh actually thinks before he codes. What blew my mind wasn't just the scale they've hit, but HOW they got there. While most edtech startups are busy chasing English-speaking urban markets, these guys said "hold my chai" and went deep into vernacular learning. Smart? Absolutely. The conversation we had about outcome vs output? Pure gold Most CTOs I know are drowning in metrics that look good on paper but mean nothing to users. Rahul flipped that script entirely. He's obsessed with what actually moves the needle,not what makes pretty charts. And don't get me started on his take on hiring "high-agency people." The man basically cracked the code on finding team members who don't need constant direction. (Trust me, every founder needs to hear this part!) Bottom line: If you're building anything in tech, managing teams, or just want to see what focused execution looks like this episode is packed with insights. Sometimes the best stories come from the people who aren't trying to be the loudest voice in the room. Rahul's one of those rare builders who lets his work do the talking.

Rumour is that there’s a chartered flight from Kerala to Bangalore for this event:)

“I built my first startup right out of college. We served more than 80 customers in just 2.5 years.” That’s how Jofin Joseph’s founder journey began. In the latest episode of KPH House, I sat down with Jofin to talk about what it actually takes to build companies across different phases early startups, scale-ups, venture capital, and now building AI products. From co-founding Profoundis (acq by FullContact) and going through an acquisition… to scaling operations at FullContact… to starting Totto Learning… to spending time as a VC at Pienza… and now building Needletail AI to solve real healthcare workflow problems using AI. What stood out to me in this conversation was not just the journey, but the clarity on how building has changed in the AI era. If you are building something, planning to start up, or trying to understand how modern AI startups are being built, this episode will give you perspective.

RT @Felix_Josemon: “Stop asking WHY AI. Start asking HOW AI.” For the past 3 - 4 years, we’ve all been hearing the same thing. AI is comin…

Kerala Product Hunt (KPH) Meetup : Kochi, 2026 Hosted at KeyValue Software Systems, SmartCity, Kakkanad Around 50–60 founders and builders came together, all focused on creating practical impact. 8–10 demos showcased products ranging from early experiments to solutions already driving measurable results. The room was alive with curiosity, problem-solving, and actionable discussions. Key Highlights Savio Martin - SimpleClaw At just 18, Savio is building one of Kerala’s newest YC-backed startups, and one of its youngest founders to reach that milestone. SimpleClaw came to life from a clear obsession: speed and simplicity. Deploying OpenClaw in under a minute without technical friction demonstrated his focus on execution over noise. Recognition on Product Hunt and selection into Y Combinator are impressive, but what stood out more was the clarity of thinking. Attendees asked thoughtful questions throughout his session, and Savio handled them with composure beyond his years. A strong signal of where Kerala’s next generation of builders is headed. Akhil Krishna T Akhil presented practical ways AI enhances daily operations. His talk showed how technology can streamline workflows without adding complexity making him one of the most engaging voices of the evening. Tarak Ram - DeleMate Tarak demonstrated a traveler-powered delivery network solving real-world logistics challenges. His approach sparked meaningful conversations around practical, community-driven solutions. Mridhul Jose Pax - SlashLLM SlashLLM provides monitoring, governance, and compliance for AI systems. Mridhul emphasized scalable, secure AI operations - proving responsible AI infrastructure doesn’t have to sacrifice usability. ClawSwitch A self-managed AI proxy that reduces costs, ensures privacy, and optimizes model usage - designed for serious AI workflows. Dona AI A minimalist productivity tool focused on clarity and user experience, showing that thoughtful design and functionality can go hand-in-hand. Beyond these presentations, every demo contributed to the energy in the room. Attendees exchanged feedback, challenged assumptions, and explored collaborations. No fluff. No theatrics. Just builders focused on tangible solutions. Kerala’s product ecosystem is evolving, collaborative, focused, and ready to deliver meaningful impact.
