Krishikesh Khairnar — Co-Founder
Building kwiqreply.io - An AI first WhatsApp Business API Suite. kwiqreply.io helps startups and large companies communicate with customers effectively on WhatsApp. We also build omnichannel conversational AI chatbots alongside Voice AI Agents and Video Chatbots. In my journey as a founder, one of the highlights was being selected for the prestigious TAVtech Fellowship in the 2019 batch. TAVtech is a Tel Aviv-based fellowship program that equips the next generation of entrepreneurs with tangible, high-demand, technical skills in data science and cybersecurity. I was the only college dropout in the cohort of 80 student entrepreneurs from universities like Harvard, Stanford,NYU. In this 5 week programme, I got a great exposure of startup ecosystem in Israel and made good connections. I was born and brought up in Malegaon. My dad used to be a technician in BSNL and thus I was introduced to the internet in 8th grade. It was then, in 9th grade, that I, as the founder, embarked on my first venture, BuzzKida.com. I did an internship at WebTeam Pvt Ltd in Malegaon and saw the content part on "m4marathi.com". At WebTeam , I learned about how internet startups work . Post 10th grade I created "Ahirani Jokes " - The first android app in local dialect of Marathi language which created awareness about the endangered language. It got 5000+ installs in just 2 weeks . In 11th standard, I started StudyDuniya - An E-Learning platform to prepare students for competitive exams in India in regional languages. As the founder of StudyDuniya, I aimed to bridge the gap and provide accessible education for aspiring learners. I have also worked at Pune Police Cyber Cell as a visiting lecturer.
