The discussion quickly turned interactive, with students asking thoughtful and bold questions. They were curious to know how Fiscal Ox began—how the founders secured funding, made early decisions, and what motivated them to leave comfort zones and build something of their own. Vicrum and Lekshmi shared their honest journey: without any legacy, financial backing, or established network, they began their careers in the U.S., saving diligently while gaining valuable industry experience. With a deep passion for innovation and a clear vision, they returned to build products tailored for India, engineered to global standards.
At the heart of their motivation was one shared belief: small businesses deserve access to world-class technology. While big tech companies typically design enterprise solutions for large corporations, Fiscal Ox is solving the problems that small and mid-sized Indian businesses face every day—replacing outdated desktop tools with intuitive, affordable, cloud-first solutions that bring efficiency, security, and scalability.
The session left students not just informed, but inspired—energized by the possibility of building meaningful, accessible technology from the ground up. Fiscal Ox extends its sincere thanks to the faculty and students of ITM Vadodara for their warmth, enthusiasm, and meaningful engagement.
