Codewave

I help businesses maximize intangible value and generate predictable revenue, without having to spend  heavily on design & tech.

Most people get design wrong. They are trying to improve aesthetics, but that is not the problem.

The real problem is lack of human-centricity, clarity and simplicity. 

We've created a new way to designing products and services.

We serve businesses who need help with launching a new product/service or improving existing offerings. We also diagnose process gaps in how businesses go about delivering their services and eliminate the unnecessary.

What makes us different?

1. Our signature process that helps nail need identification.
2. Our people who drive high clarity of thinking, making simplicity a permanent fashion.
3. Our software engineering practice, that runs your business on cloud/edge with high flexibility to change.

How it works? 

1. Foundation: Identify needs & design the solution
2. Construction: Develop the solution, in a way it's flexible to change  
3. Continuous Evolution: Launch the solution, get feedback & improve iteratively

Yesterday was my father-in-law’s 75th bday.

He once led the culture division for the Govt of Karnataka, creating opportunities for artists from diverse backgrounds — sometimes even fighting cases so talent didn’t lose to bias or bribe.

He never claimed credit. He never chased money, fame or power.

Yday, 15 years after his retirement, artists from across the state traveled hundreds of miles to surprise their “Guru,” thanking him for shaping their journeys. (Who cares after you leave?)

And what is an award, if it’s not some heartfelt #gratitude and #love?

He probably never imagined the impact his work had on so many. Watching him receive that outpouring of gratitude with joy and tears was quite a moment.

In a world where fancy rewards trend more than classy elegance, I’m blessed to have an inspiring family that lives values money can’t buy, quietly and firmly.

#Leadership, to me, is a high-principled job.  Showing up for others without chasing credit, titles or rewards, consistently and quietly. And sometimes, you only realise the real impact of your work long after you stop.

Maybe that’s why it’s called “Seva” (Service).

A few years ago, a company expressed interest in acquiring us.. right when our cashflows were getting 𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.

In moments of need, saying yes to money coming from anywhere can feel like “such a relief” and “common sense.”

They prolly expected us to consider it seriously.

Instead, we got curious and asked casually:
“𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺?”

They prolly didn’t see it coming. They spoke about revenue, profit, customers, growth… but none of it really answered the question.

With great regard for their work, we sincerely thanked them and declined.

Some people internally wondered:
“𝘞𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘣𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘪𝘧 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘤𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩?”

But we could see what the acquisition offer meant.
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘯, 𝘣𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 “𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘵𝘩” 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘨𝘰. 𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 “𝘺𝘦𝘴” 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨.

To me, money is a consequence of a business done right. 𝘈𝘯 𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦. 𝘈 𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘦, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘴𝘵. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘣𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦, 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘵.

During COVID, when our revenues doubled but challenged our very purpose (#HumanTransformation) & values, we said “𝘯𝘰” to scaling. We chose to pause, learn our lessons first and fix things at the roots.

Not doing what's easy, but what's 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵. 
#ScalingConsciously

How strong is a tree that grows fast with weak roots, when a storm hits?

And people who understood that.. believed it.. and led the change with us. 

In hindsight, the credit to our growth goes to what felt like “𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯”.. the discipline to stay 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦, stay 𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘦𝘴, stay cashflow positive.

TautMore

Story: It all started not long ago, out of my passion for education, and my powerful desire
to empower our youth with better and more sophisticated cognitive tools that inspire entire future generations of creative and independent thinkers. For a long time, I have identified that traditional education has been lagging in terms of engaging students and presenting them with scenarios where a problem can be solved in more than one structured and predefined way. At the same time, I have seen that current EdTech platforms are only affordable for a few people, so I made it my personal mission to make this kind of education more affordable and put it at the reach of more children worldwide.

That is when we decided to team up and create an online education platform with goal of changing the status quo of education and promoting creative thinking, by taking advantage of all the newly developed cognitive learning techniques and the latest technologies.

Cognitive diversity is without a doubt the most important skill for both individuals and organizations, as well as a powerful enabler of greater job performance, career satisfaction and leadership potential.

That is what TautMore is all about: redefining learning, empowering our youth, and fostering the imagination of a whole new generation of free thinkers.

•	Building an online educational platform where children across the globe can receive a new type of modern education, which has been specially designed to promote diverse ways of thinking, to kindle the creative potential of young, curious individuals so they can reach their full potential. 
•	Platform  being built on solid pillars such as innovation, experience, and empowering our youth with the cognitive tools they need to become creative thinkers of tomorrow.
