Our Story
Akash Shinde
Founder
Foundora.in came into existence in July 2025 with a single aim very clear to its founders: to help the voices of early-stage founders be heard, whose stories are usually overlooked. Coming from Janephal, a remote village in Maharashtra, the conventional path was clearly defined around stable careers rather than entrepreneurship. However, the dream was different — to build a platform that highlights real startup journeys, especially from small towns and less-advantaged regions. The obstacle was significant: everything had to be built from the ground up — website creation, design, and content strategy — without a team or external funding. What kept the journey moving forward was the unwavering support of my younger brother Gaurav, whose trust and encouragement became a strong foundation during moments of doubt. Today, Foundora has evolved into a dedicated platform focused on connecting founders, sharing real experiences, and giving visibility to innovation emerging from across India — especially from regions that traditional media has long neglected.
