Mumal K Soni — Co-Founder
I never set out to be a founder. I started with a love for statistics and curiosity about why people make the choices they do—what drives them, what holds them back. That led me through a journey across education, product, HR, and tech. I’ve worked on IoT systems, explored the edges of Web3, built VR products, and now, I find myself building something deeply human in a space shaped by AI. Over the last few years, I’ve interviewed 1,000+ people, hired 50+, and spent countless hours thinking about one thing: why do so many brilliant people get left behind? That question stayed with me. And eventually, it became the reason I started building Parikshak.ai. I’m not here to glorify the hustle. I’ve worn every hat possible—product manager, recruiter, marketer, researcher, designer by necessity. I’ve built with no funding, led teams with no safety net, and still found purpose in building something that helps others unlock what’s already within them. Parikshak.ai is my way of saying: potential shouldn’t go unnoticed just because someone didn’t go to the “right” college or speak the “right” way in an interview. I'm obsessed with solving real-world hiring problems, especially for students, first-gen professionals, and founders struggling to build great teams. I believe products should be simple, human, and useful—and that hiring should be fairer, faster, and far more meaningful. Outside work, I find joy in language (I speak 4 and learning a 5th), messy whiteboards, and conversations that go off-script. If you're building something in hiring, edtech, or early-stage product—and want to exchange ideas, feel free to reach out.
