In this era of social media, where people turn to the internet for solutions to every problem, they often face difficulties in reaching out to professionals. People send messages, ask questions, but receive no response. To address this issue, three young entrepreneurs, Palash Arneja, Aakash Anand, and Sumit Jha, launched a startup called Unikon.ai in early 2024. This platform is becoming a medium of conversation between professionals and common people.

What is Unikon.ai?

Unikon.ai's name is derived from the idea of U (You), I (Me), and Kon (Connect), with the aim of connecting the two. This startup provides a platform for those who want to talk to the right person for their personal or professional problems but are unable to reach them. To solve this problem, Unikon.ai will not only connect professionals but also provide a system where they are compensated for their time in exchange for conversations. Professionals get paid for their time, which increases their participation.
 
The Inspiration Behind Unikon.ai

Aakash and Palash observed that on platforms like LinkedIn, only 1% of people receive responses to their direct messages (DMs). The reason was lack of time and no financial benefit. To overcome this problem, they envisioned Unikon.ai, where professionals are paid to talk. Thus, a system was created that values the quality of conversation along with time.  

Palash Arneja's Career and Work Experience

Palash Arneja comes from a middle-class family and was brilliant in studies from the very beginning. He cleared the Chartered Accountant (CA) exam before the age of 21. He then worked at places like Swiss Bank and HSBC, where he proved his abilities in investment banking and team management. He also led a large team at Deloitte and then started Unikon.ai.

Who is Aakash Anand?

Aakash Anand, who is also the founder of Bella Vita, became the co-founder of Unikon.ai. Aakash and Palash met Sumit Jha at an event. Sumit had previously created a buy-now-pay-later solution called ZebPay, which was later acquired by Cashfree.

How does Unikon.ai work?

People can sell their professional skills on the Unikon.ai platform. It has options for chat, audio, and video calls. You can set the price for your skills as you wish. Unikon.ai charges a 20% commission on every transaction, and the rest of the money appears instantly in your wallet, which you can withdraw after 24 hours.
