The Technologist with a Trekker’s Spirit

When Yogesh Kulkarni founded Bilva Media Tech Services in 2023, he wasn’t chasing trends—he was chasing clarity. After 13+ years in software development, product design, and cross-industry leadership, Yogesh set out on a mission: to build digital products and campaigns that truly matter.

Yogesh isn’t just a technologist—he’s a problem-solver with the resilience of a mountain trekker. Having conquered trails like Everest Base Camp, Velliangiri Hills, Girnar, and Mount Abu, he learned that progress comes in steady steps.

His professional journey includes mastery over:

• Full-stack development: Angular, React, Node, Python, PHP, Typescript
• Cloud platforms: AWS, Supabase
• Databases: Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB
• AI-powered automation

He has delivered crypto trading platforms, event management systems, fintech solutions, SaaS products—and mentored teams to transform ideas into value-driven results.

The Birth of Bilva Media Tech — Purpose Over Trends

The spark for Bilva was lit when Yogesh noticed a recurring problem: many digital products were functional but lacked thoughtful design, empathy, and storytelling.

“Technology should serve clarity and purpose — not just algorithms,” says Yogesh.

Landing his first paying client through a freelancing platform, Yogesh combined UX/UI excellence, development agility, AI-driven creativity, and conscious branding to deliver results that stood out in a crowded industry.

Facing Challenges Head-On

As a solo founder, Yogesh juggled coding, marketing, pitching, and operations—while competing against larger, well-funded agencies. Educating clients on purpose-driven design and AI’s potential was another uphill climb.

He overcame these hurdles by:

• Leveraging multi-domain expertise to deliver end-to-end solutions
• Integrating AI tools early to beat larger competitors on speed and quality
• Building long-term relationships over one-off projects
• Drawing resilience from personal passions like trekking and filmmaking

The Everest Mindset

There were moments Yogesh considered stepping away. But just like on the Everest Base Camp trek, he learned that big goals are achieved step-by-step. By breaking business challenges into smaller milestones, leaning on his network, and focusing on meaningful projects over quick wins, he kept Bilva moving forward.

Busting Industry Myths

Yogesh challenges the belief that fast and affordable work means low quality. With AI-assisted workflows and strong experience, he’s proven that speed and excellence can co-exist.

He also rejects clickbait-driven marketing that prioritizes likes over trust. At Bilva, marketing is built to inspire, not manipulate.

The Game-Changing Decision

From day one, Yogesh made AI integration a core part of Bilva’s DNA, allowing him to:

• Deliver products faster than traditional agencies
• Maintain premium quality without high overheads
• Spend more time on strategic thinking and client relationships

Proud Milestones

• Founding Bilva as a purpose-driven, AI-powered venture studio
• Delivering full-stack, HFI-compliant solutions from fintech to event management
• Producing indie film Amruthangamaya, featured on BookMyShow
• Leading Soham Events and SMB ventures blending tradition with technology
• Completing challenging treks that shaped his resilience and leadership

The 5-Year Vision

By 2030, Yogesh envisions Bilva Media Tech as a parent brand housing multiple product-specific and service-specific entities—each unique, yet united by purposeful design, advanced tech, and impactful storytelling.

The company aims to not just deliver projects, but incubate and scale niche brands, becoming a true venture builder.

Shifting Market Perspective

Yogesh believes the problem isn’t the lack of tools or channels—it’s the mindset. Too many strategies chase short-term trends instead of authentic, sustainable growth. His mission is to shift the focus from vanity metrics to value metrics.

Words to Aspiring Entrepreneurs

“Keep learning, keep applying, with passion and good intention. Guided by true perspective, the right opportunities will find their way to you.” — Yogesh Kulkarni

For Yogesh, entrepreneurship is not just building businesses—it’s about creating work that stands the test of time.
