I run Mango International Preschool (6 branches, 4 franchised) and build business software with AI at Innovostack — CRMs, admission systems and dashboards, without hiring developers. 10+ years operating education businesses in Maharashtra. BuildKaro is where I document the playbooks and systems that actually run my businesses.
