Astrology has always been a fascinating subject for people worldwide. With the advent of technology, numerous astrology apps are available on smartphones that allow people to access personalized horoscopes, birth charts, and astrological insights right at their fingertips.
Melooha, an innovative AI astrology app, emerges as a hyper-personalized SaaS platform designed to transcend the constraints of language and time zones, providing real-time, precise & credible guidance.
Navigating Diverse Roles in Entrepreneurship and Leadership
Vikram Labhe (Founder & CEO of Melooha) sets the vision for the company and spearheads it by wearing multiple hats.. He takes on responsibilities encompassing Product, GTM, Analytics, PR, and more. He is the bridge between diverse facets, ensuring a seamless blend of vision and execution.
Being a serial entrepreneur, Vikram has a strong career background. Before starting Melooha, he held a pivotal leadership role in the scale-up of Fivetran, a data pipeline startup that now boasts 5000+ global customers and a valuation of $5.6 billion. Prior to that, he had profitably built & sold another startup.
Vikram started his career at PMC Sierra, a semiconductor product company in Vancouver, Canada. In 2005, he moved back to Bangalore, India, as the first employee tasked with establishing PMC’s India R&D center. Over the next decade, Vikram transformed that into the world’s largest center, with a workforce of ~1000, spread across Bangalore & Hyderabad.
Vikram holds a BE from Nagpur University, an MS from Simon Fraser University (Canada), and is also an alumnus of IIM Bangalore. His achievements also include a US patent and numerous technical publications.
The First Step towards Living Dreams
Vikram’s mother introduced him to the ancient practice of Astrology in his childhood, and he has been intrigued by this field ever since. Access to talented astrologers helped him to extend the outcomes of the “peaks” while minimizing the impact of the “valleys” in his life-journeys. As a result, astrology evolved into a guiding force in his life, offering direction on crucial choices and enhancing his self-awareness.
However, it is hard to find talented & credible astrologers with a consistent and accessible presence. According to Vikram, “Astrology is not something that students who only pass a rigorous testing methodology are capable of absorbing and applying knowledge – Like the prestigious IITs or IIMs or IAS. You don’t know if your astrologer has had the capability and capacity to learn Astrology from a scientific perspective.” This realization sparked the idea in Vikram’s mind to break down astrology into a series of specific mathematical algorithms, supported by accurate planetary information available today, including from NASA.
By using the latest available deep tech (AI), he decided to solve the issues with the unregulated nature of astrology, including quality, credibility, time zones, and accessibility.
