Building India's First Indigenous 5G, 6G & Wi-Fi Founder & Director of Peppy Pulse Private Limited, holding 80% equity in India's first DIPP-recognised deep-tech hardware startup focused on indigenous 5G CPE and next-generation Wi-Fi router manufacturing.
Before founding Peppy Pulse, Ram built his career as a QA Manager — developing a rigorous, process-driven approach to product quality that now sits at the core of Peppy Pulse's manufacturing philosophy. Recognising that India's entire router market was 100% import-dependent and strategically vulnerable, he launched Project Aura 5G to change that.
Under his leadership, Peppy Pulse has validated consumer demand with a $100K Kickstarter campaign, secured a ₹8 Cr confirmed B2B order from Machenn, TOMORO, attracted $600K in Japan market interest, and received a $500K MSME loan approval — all pre-institutional funding.
He leads a founding team that includes a CTO (ex-Zoho) and COO (ex-CSS Corp), and is now raising a $900K seed round to scale manufacturing and capture India's sovereign connectivity infrastructure opportunity.
