Why MountainKid Valley?
5/11/2025
I was 17 when I realized that real life is living a long life in a short time rather than living a short life in a long time. By 20, I had 6 startup failures and had given up on life to become a monk in Kullu. And while working as a cleaner/Telecaller in a travel company for Rs.2000/- salary a month,I realized that becoming a monk at 20 is accepting failure, and in 5 years, I built myself from scratch and after starting TMK (TheMountainKid) Cafe in Summerhill (2022), it was clear to me that at local level, only Engineering and Youth can save the future of Himachal. and at global level, there is a strong need for another tech valley in India (to be specific, in the hills of Himachal. Why I selected himachal is a constant question I get, and here is the answer --
If we do it here, this shows the next generations that nothing is impossible if you have the passion. Because for the people who are mad & stubborn enough to accept failure, success is inevitable. This is my gratitudes/love towards the nature 🌱🌕 for changing my life. We can save this nature by building tech valley, cuz we can minimize the reliance on industrial development and continue with Agri, Tourism and software driven economy. Back to the conversation, by building this tech valley, my vision is simple - Bring great people together and build effective solutions with first principles and engineering. this way, not only we help the world but as a company, we could contribute our part to transform India from Developing to Developed nation.
Challenges We Aim to Solve
1.Quality Education for everyone to become engineers at thinking.
2.Support for startups and innovations / Inventions.
3.Environmental sustainability.
4.Rural employment and infrastructure.
5.Nutrition and Healthy food for everybody.
6.Farming tools for everyone to do organic farming at fingertips.
7.Modern Tools with AI & Blockchain to run Himachal Tourism and Startup Ecosystem.
Well, I am certain that by 2027, the journey towards building valley will be started. The reason for 2027 is, this journey started with 600rs in 2019 and after this hell of a journey, looking back, I would say, everything looks great on paper, but reality hits when we implement ideas.
We have been working towards this journey with micro steps. And in the near future, you will see us releasing a series of products like rfse.club for education, Sari for health, Sari Snacks to solve rural employment, Phunsuk for tourism and some more (Work in progress).
Well, I believe a real dream is that when you narrate it to someone, the response should be "Ye pagal hei"/"you are mad". unless you get this response, you are not dreaming big cuz whats the point of living, if the only motive is to die unknown with no impact? and the second reason is that, its my hope that by building a valley, this would definitely inspire people to dream big, take risks, a degree doesn't matter if you have passion, you can do anything in life. or the other way around, my mad love for engineering.
for instance,
If Galileo did not take that freedom of creator, by this time, no word of flight might be there as we live in a perception that we will vanish once we cross the edge of the earth.”
If Elon Musk had not taken that freedom of invention, by this time, no word of electric transportation would have been there as we live in a perception that electric vehicles are a myth.
so thats it,With MountainKid Valley, the reward is either the biggest failure of all time or the team of a company that transformed a field for the next generation. But the effort will shape Himachal's future and so our nation's towards taking risk towards innovations/inventions.
bookmark the MountainKid valley, so you can see the journey on how we are building our products with 1/100th cost of what majority usually spend/invest.
