Mayura Rao — Co-Founder
I build products in spaces where kids are underserved by tools designed for adults. Right now I'm building OMore — a create-and-discover platform for Gen Alpha. Kids 8+ go from idea to plan to expression, with an AI sidekick that prompts their thinking, not replaces it. Before OMore, I spent 12 months working directly with kids to understand how they think and create and what stops them. The biggest insight: kids don't lack imagination. They lack support getting started. Before kidtech, I ran Mayura Analytical, my father's analytical instrumentation business — scaled it 4x over 9 years competing against US and EU imports, and sold it in 2025. In parallel, I co-founded Ausum, a D2C wellness brand scaled to $200k ARR. Before that: Booz & Company and Sony in London. I pick hard, unglamorous problems and stay with them. That's the thread. What comes up on the second chai: → Moved back from London to Bangalore overland — 15 weeks, one flight (Bangkok to BLR, turns out there's no passenger ship), the Trans-Siberian, 14 days solo in Mongolia. Never taking indoor plumbing for granted. → Studio potter, working on my first mixed-media art collection. → Co-led Women in Business at LBS — most well-funded club on campus. → Picked up golf in 2025. Chasing an under-28 handicap. I write here about product, GTM, and what building for kids teaches you about building anything.
