Serial entrepreneur Aakash Anand, co-founder of Bellavita, has unveiled his latest endeavour, Unikon.ai. This innovative platform aims to revolutionize how individuals connect and share knowledge by allowing users to monetize their time and expertise.
Unikon.ai recently raised $2 million in funding from a distinguished group of investors and entrepreneurs. Notable contributors include Nikhil Kamath (Zerodha), Peyush Bansal (Lenskart), Vishesh Khurana (Shiprocket), Dholakia Ventures, Nitin Jain and Vasant Sridhar (OfBusiness), and Gaurav Khatri (Noise). Additionally, influential personalities such as Tanmay Bhatt, Raj Shamani, Arjun Vaidya, Sharan Hegde (Finance with Sharan), Ganeshprasad (Thinkschool), Shlok Shrivastava (Techburner), and Rahul Malodia (Business Coach) participated in the round.
Joining Anand at the helm of Unikon.ai are co-founders Palash Arneja, serving as the Chief Operating Officer, and Sumit Jha, the Chief Technology Officer. Arneja, a chartered accountant, brings a wealth of operational expertise, while Jha, the former CTO of Zecpe—acquired by Cashfree in 2023—adds significant technical prowess to the team.
Unikon.ai’s platform is designed to facilitate meaningful connections through practical, relatable, and genuine advice. Users can post queries for professional responses, host events such as webinars or workshops, and share their knowledge for monetary gain. The platform also offers flexible scheduling and pricing for one-on-one sessions via chat, audio, or video calls.
In a landscape where knowledge-sharing platforms are rapidly evolving, Unikon.ai stands out by providing a seamless, user-driven experience. This approach aligns with the growing trend of monetizing personal expertise and the increasing demand for accessible, high-quality advice.
The launch of Unikon.ai follows a similar initiative by former AngelList India CEO Utsav Somani, who introduced the community platform Offline. Somani’s venture also secured $2 million from a diverse group of startup founders, unicorn leaders, micro venture capitals, and influencer investors.
With its robust funding and visionary leadership, Unikon.ai is poised to significantly impact the knowledge-sharing ecosystem, empowering individuals to connect, learn, and earn in unprecedented ways.
