I'm Ayush Saha, a 19-year-old founder from Pune, India, and the builder of Flowfiy — an AI sales engine that finds real businesses, researches them, qualifies them, and sends personalized outreach automatically. I've been building since I was 13, when my father bought me my first laptop. By 14 I was freelancing, building apps and websites for clients I found myself. At 16 I launched a clothing brand that failed. At 17 I ran a small digital marketing agency that also failed. Those failures taught me something no course could: I learned from the inside exactly how hard and expensive it is for a small business to find customers. That pain became the seed of Flowfiy. Today I'm a first-year student at MIT World Peace University, Pune, building Flowfiy full-time with my co-founder and CTO, Swanth Alok. I stopped freelancing and funded the build with my own savings — a deliberate bet. Flowfiy is now live at flowfiy.com with production infrastructure and 38 features. I ship fast and share the whole journey openly. I don't have decades of experience yet, but I have the one thing that can't be taught: I will not stop.
