Founder Profile
Maitreya Kulkarni
Founder of Nexolve AI Solutions LLP. Pune-based software studio building MVPs, custom SaaS, and AI-powered automation for startups and growing businesses worldwide.
About
Maitreya founded Nexolve AI Solutions LLP in 2021 to fix a specific gap in the Indian software services market: most agencies optimise for headcount-billed hours, not for shipping the right product. Nexolve's positioning — “engineering built for depth, not headcount” — reflects that founding intent.
Over the past five years he and the Nexolve team have shipped production software for startups across India, the US, the UK, Europe, and Asia — from agentic AutoML platforms and zero-knowledge enterprise AI agents to vertical e-commerce marketplaces and government supply-chain forecasting systems. Detailed engineering teardowns of these projects live in the Engineering Teardowns blog category.
Maitreya writes regularly on MVP development, custom software decisions, AI agents, and SaaS engineering at the Nexolve blog. He works directly with every founder Nexolve takes on as a client, leading scoping engagements and remaining accountable for delivery throughout the build.
