Connecting Ideas With Money – Aimwiser – Kaushik S Arakalgud

At the Connecting Ideas With Money session that took place on the 10th of March, 2023 founder Kaushik S Arakalgud pitched Aimwiser. The startup’s mission is to bridge the gap in the HRtech industry, by providing a solution that offers personalized, timely, actionable insights and a continuous feedback loop for professional and personal growth. Their product CalibrateTM is the right mix of behavioral insights, expert coaching, AI intervention and nudges that surface at the right time to help leaders take action with just a click.

“Whether a startup or a large enterprise, every leader wants to know what drives high-performance
and creates a happy and super-engaged workforce without compromising their mental health or
that of their teams. Sadly, the solutions available today are too generic or too widely distributed,
don’t deliver measurable impact, offer either wellness or engagement solutions and lack timely
actionable insights or a continuous feedback loop for personalized growth journeys,” says Kaushik.

“We believe that creating a high-performance work environment shouldn’t come at
the cost of employee well-being. We are pilot ready …in beta..and have onboarded 1 pilot and we are
ready to offer the solution….free usage…in exchange for feedback.”

Afjalina had a bitter experience when working at a startup where her mental wellbeing and
health was compromised, forcing her to seek mental health help and hospitalization. She recognized the stigma
attached first hand and being considered ‘emotionally weak’. Kaushik, who was working in an early stage startup, also witnessed the amount of mental stress founders go through while trying to keep the startup afloat. When the two met and exchanged ideas CalibrateTM was born.
