Meet Our Founder – A Journey of Grit & Growth

The Beginning: Just Me and My Laptop

It all started in my classroom room during second year B.Tech. While my friends were preparing for semester, I was obsessed with an idea – could AI help people create better resumes? That's how my first CV analyser project was born, coded between classes and late-night study sessions.

The Turning Point

When I presented my project at a college fest, something magical happened. People actually wanted to use it! That's when I realised – maybe I could build solutions people need. But as a first-generation entrepreneur, I had no entrepreneurial role models to follow. Every "you're too young" or "focus on getting a job" made me doubt myself.

Building Zeai Soft: Our First Office Was a Café

I'll never forget those early days – meeting my co-founder at our "office" (a café near campus), arguing over code, celebrating our first paying client (who paid us ₹5,000!). We reinvested every rupee – from that first project to developing custom AI tools for local businesses.

The Game Changer

Our big break came when we got selected for Microsoft's startup program. Suddenly, people who wouldn't take meetings were returning our calls. The Amazon partnership followed – validating that our small but mighty team could compete with established players.

Why I Keep Going

Today, when I walk into our office and see my team – especially the young women engineers – I remember my 20-year-old self who almost gave up. Zeai Soft isn't just about AI solutions; it's proof that background doesn't determine your future.

To Every Young Dreamer Reading This

Your first project might seem small today, but it could be the seed of something extraordinary. The late nights, the rejections, the moments of self-doubt – they're all part of the journey. Keep building.
