A note from the founder

Built by one founder
for one-founder teams.

MadMantra is made by Sunil Singh. Here's why it exists.

I grew up in a small town in India with big ambitions and a dial-up internet connection. That collision — too much curiosity and not enough resources — has shaped everything I've built since.

I started in digital marketing in 2010, ran growth at a ticketing company in Bangalore, then went freelance and spent years building websites for clients across the world from Kuala Lumpur. In 2018 I founded my first EU company in Estonia.

In 2019 I moved to Helsinki and co-founded Ilu Space. Over four years we got incubated by the European Space Agency, funded by Business Finland, and I was named a NASA Space Apps Global Nominee — selected from 26,000+ participants across 150 countries. I built Clidapt — a carbon emissions, ESG and climate adaptation product for businesses.

In 2025 I founded Qluve — AI companion robots for eldercare. I built the entire thing solo in two months: the hardware, the software, the conversational AI, the apps. We deployed 12 robots across elderly and disability care homes.

Across four countries and fifteen years, the pattern has always been the same: one person, every hat. Marketing on Monday, code on Tuesday, customer support on Wednesday, fundraising on Thursday, hardware debugging on Friday. The constraint was never ideas. It was the brutal arithmetic of one person trying to do the work of ten — and never having anyone to think a decision through with.

MadMantra is the friend I wished I had every time I sat down to start over alone. The one that builds the website while I'm thinking out loud. That writes the email I've been putting off. That tells me what to do today when I can't see past the chaos. That's patient at 11pm when I'm stuck.

It's not built for funded teams who need agent swarms. It's built for the founder who already is the team — the baker, the coach, the consultant, the side-hustler, the dreamer with a day job — and just needs someone in their corner.

Bootstrapped, on purpose

MadMantra has no venture investors, no growth team, and no quarterly KPI someone is hitting at your expense. The $29 a month has to stand on its own — which is also why the free plan is real (not a trap), and why every claim on this site is something the product genuinely does today.
