I didn't learn this from a course.
I learned it by building.
I'm Nikhiil Siyaal - a serial entrepreneur based in Pune, India. Over nine years I've founded and co-founded five companies and built or advised many more brands - tech, marketing and business simultaneously, from zero. Not from the outside looking in - from inside the room where the decisions actually get made.
These days you'll find me building at The Nine Labs, A Perfect Network, APN Code and Yagy, and partnering with MyStartupValley - work that runs across AI products, mobile apps as a service, and venture infrastructure.
Hunger
“While most are still planning, I'm already building the next one.”
Knowledge
“Nine years in the arena taught me what no classroom could.”
Vision
“One company was the start - a group of them is the plan.”
From schoolyard hustle to a group of companies.
The first hustle
Charging classmates for project files. The instinct to build and sell showed up early.
First lines of code
Turbo C++ animations - long before it was a class. Curiosity over curriculum.
₹8 lakh in year one
First real sales, first real lessons in what people actually pay for.
Co-founder & CMO at Yagy Tech
Built product, marketing and business from zero. No playbook, no safety net - just long nights and the hard lessons of how decisions really get made.
Delight Xpress & Vibrancy
Two more companies, built through the failures, the rebuilds, and the doubt nobody talks about. Vibrancy alone drew a 5,000+ waitlist before launch.
A roster of brands
Mealawe (26k+ signups in month one), Deskdyne, Navmool Organic Farms - and many more built, launched, and advised.
The Nine Labs & APN Code
A growth marketing company and an IT company - the two I always dreamt of building. Through them, I'm creating distribution and building multiple brands on top of it.
A Perfect Network & MyStartupValley
Co-founding A Perfect Network and MyStartupValley - quiet, steady work across mobile apps as a service and a funding operating system to move capital.
The next stage
Not one company, but many - building toward the group I always imagined, with AI products and content-led growth at the core.
What makes me genuinely different.
Not theory. Not courses. Not YouTube. The kind of knowledge you only get by surviving the thing.
9 years of real startup experience - not theory, not courses, not YouTube.
Founded and co-founded five companies - and built or advised many more brands.
Built tech, marketing, and business simultaneously, from zero - across multiple ventures.
A founder's lens on economics, industries, and news - earned by building, not observing.
Five companies in. Just getting started.
If you're building - or thinking about it - I'd like to hear about it.
