Thoufeeque Saheer, a Kochiite now settled in Turkey, turned an entrepreneur almost by accident.
When the 36-year-old ideated a knowledge sharing platform three years ago just before the outbreak of the pandemic, it was at best a hobby during his spare time as a software development manager with a U.S. company. But the interest it generated among the incubator and accelerator programmes including that of universities saw it getting scaled up into an ed-tech start-up, Archi’s Academy, offering an online and mentoring platform for mothers, grad students and career switchers. It has since made its presence felt in the field of education technology in Turkey, training a large number of people in a short period of time.
Archi’s Academy is headquartered in Eskisehir Technopark, Turkey, with a strategic U.S. presence at the University of Illinois Enterprise Works in Champaign Urbana.
