Great companies are rarely born from comfort. They are shaped in uncertainty, pressure, and an unshakable belief in a shared vision. Spleen AI is one such story—built not just on technology, but on trust, persistence, and the courage to go all in.
Founded by Akshat Chhapolia, along with his two close friends and batchmates from IIT Dharwad, Spleen AI represents the culmination of years of collaboration, learning, and entrepreneurial risk-taking. What makes this journey even more remarkable is that this is their third startup together, a testament to the strength of their partnership and their commitment to building meaningful ventures.
The Beginning: Friends, Classmates, and a Shared Dream
Akshat Chhapolia and his co-founders didn’t start as business partners—they started as classmates. Studying at IIT Dharwad, they bonded over ideas, problem-solving, and a mutual drive to create something impactful. Over time, this connection evolved into a strong entrepreneurial partnership.
Seven months ago, the trio made a bold decision: they went all in on Spleen AI. No safety nets. No half measures. Just a clear vision and the willingness to face whatever came next.
Seven Months of Reality: The Roller Coaster of a Startup
The journey since then has been anything but smooth. Like most early-stage startups, Spleen AI has experienced its fair share of ups and downs. From moments of excitement and progress to periods of doubt and challenge, the path has tested both their resilience and belief.
Yet, through every high and low, one thing has remained constant—their vision to make it big.
This clarity of purpose has helped Akshat and his team stay focused, learn quickly, and adapt without losing sight of why they started in the first place.
Building Spleen AI with Intent and Conviction
Spleen AI is not just another startup born out of opportunity; it is the result of deliberate intent. The founders bring together technical depth, shared history, and real-world startup experience from their previous ventures.
Their approach reflects a deep understanding that building a company is not about overnight success—it’s about consistency, execution, and long-term thinking. Every decision at Spleen AI is shaped by lessons learned from past attempts and the maturity that comes from failing, rebuilding, and trying again.
