During COVID, in a quiet café in Uttarakhand, Gautam wrestled with a question that had been growing inside him for years. He wanted to start a company. He was nearing fifty. An old mentor’s words gave him the conviction: “If you put your heart onto something, you will come out on top of it.”

When he met Gagan, an IIT Mandi graduate described as an exceptional coder, something clicked. Together, they built their first application for the energy sector, and Keval-U was born — named after Gautam’s spiritual master, carrying a simple philosophy: the mentor’s entire focus is the growth of the mentee.
