I’m Rahul Sebastian, an entrepreneur from Kerala passionate about creating ventures that make a difference. I lead Sahyadri Ventures & Resorts and co-founded Tap & Go, a tech company in Saudi Arabia that builds simple NFC solutions to help businesses serve people better. Educated at NIT Calicut, my journey began with one small property and grew into a set of practical, people-first ventures.
Under Sahyadri, our hospitality family now includes Agraharam Resorts, Zostel Thirunelli , Nelli Mud Village in Wayanad, and Poomuttath Illam in Calicut. I also serve as Director of Saltic, a clean, refreshing soft-drink brand with our own manufacturing unit in Calicut. On the build side, I’m Managing Partner at Skiron Steel Engineering, focused on reliable, on-time steel fabrication. I’m a board member and shareholder at Picloon, a leading customised gifting company, and a select early-stage investor, backing founders solving real problems with simple ideas.
Previously, I co-founded Lesson21 in ed-tech, raised venture capital, and exited to a Canadian firm, an experience that taught me to start simple, ship fast, and stay honest. I believe small, steady steps create lasting change. If you’re building something meaningful, let’s connect.
