Founder · Ycotes · Jaipur
Building the next generation of AI and edtech out of Jaipur — real-time avatars, voice agents and the automation underneath them for clients worldwide, and the training that turns students into the people who build what comes after.

How it happened
None of this was a business plan. Every step was somebody saying “this is useful, can you do it for us too?”
Before any of it
Long before there was a company, there was a boy in Jaipur who could not leave a working machine alone. Not the polished version of that story either — the version with the broken remote, the reassembled PC and the argument about it afterwards. Technology was never a career plan. It was the thing that was interesting.
The turn
When modern AI arrived properly, most people saw a novelty. He saw the thing he had been waiting for — a field moving fast enough that being early mattered more than being credentialled. So he went and got credentialled anyway: Harvard's CS50 and CS50 AI, a gold medal in Artificial Intelligence from IIT Madras, NVIDIA's Jetson AI certification. Curiosity first, paperwork second, but both.
First year of college
Every student needed the same four things — good notes, assignment solutions, previous-year papers, and somewhere to actually find them. What existed instead was a mess of Drive links dying in WhatsApp groups, PDFs renamed six times, and a senior who might reply. The material existed. Access to it did not.
The first version
Ycotes started as a simple platform holding the notes he had written for his own first-year batch. No plan, no company, no landing page. His friends used it, and then they told him to open it up, because it was too useful to keep in one group chat.
The first expansion
So it opened to every year of the university, not just his own. That is the moment it stopped being a favour and started being a product — because serving four years at once means structure, naming, and someone maintaining it. He maintained it.
The second expansion
The same demand was sitting untouched at every other campus in the state. He went and got them. Six universities, 176 subject pages and 700+ files later, Ycotes was the thing students sent each other instead of a Drive link.
All along
The AI and tech work did not start after Ycotes — it started before it. School, then college, taking on builds for people who needed them and getting paid for it. Both things grew at the same time, and each one funded the other.
The professional turn
The easy version of this story ends with a freelancer taking jobs off a marketplace. He went the other way and built the full service line instead — AI, automation and the software underneath it, scoped, documented and delivered to a professional standard rather than quoted over chat. The clients stopped being local and started being worldwide.
Teaching, worldwide
The teaching moved online, and once it was online it stopped being a Jaipur thing. Students in the United States, across India and in other countries — more than ten thousand of them — learning AI and code from someone who is still building with it every day.
The office
Demand from students and clients outgrew what one person could run from a laptop. So the savings and the money the client work had already earned went into an office in Mansarovar. No investor, no loan — the work paid for the room it now runs in.
Now
Today that means training for the youth of India and beyond, and next-generation AI, workflows, avatars and services for clients — including creators with more than a million subscribers. The thing that was only an idea in a first-year room is the thing that exists, and it is still expanding.
What holds it up
The one-shot lectures, the notes and the flashcards were written by someone who has taught the material — not assembled out of whatever PDFs were lying around.
Reaching another campus needs people on it who will vouch for you. That is relationships, and relationships are built rather than deployed.
Notes, past papers, flashcards, quizzes, courses and events — six things a student actually needs, not one page with a download button.
Students hand over their semester to whoever they believe. Credibility compounds, and it is the one thing that cannot be bought.
What Ycotes builds
Avatars that hold a conversation, and exact digital clones of a real presenter.
Content production for creators — including a channel with over a million subscribers.
Client sites, applications and the software underneath them.
The unglamorous work that removes a salary line from an operations budget.
Social and performance work, run by the same team that builds the product.
Five years and counting of teaching AI and programming — in universities, online, and to students outside India.
Stages and wins

Years teaching AI & tech
In universities, online and worldwide
Mansarovar, Jaipur
The office is the workshop where the next generation of AI products gets built, and the classroom where the next generation of people who will build them gets trained. Those are not two businesses that happen to share a lease — the teaching is what keeps the building honest, and the building is what keeps the teaching current.
You're already hired. If you have the passion for building the next generation of AI and edtech, that is the whole requirement — reach out, show us the skill and the appetite for it, and you're in.

What's next
Every delivered project is bringing the next one in. Growth is coming from work that already shipped, not from a marketing budget.
Investor conversations are live, and we are preparing for a seed round. If you build with founders this early, this is the window.
Talk to the founderHiring people who ship, and paying interns who do real work rather than collecting an attendance certificate.
