Empowering Future Innovators: Fiscal Ox at Navrachana University

In September 2024, Fiscal Ox visited Navrachana University, Vadodara, for a dynamic Placement Drive and Cloud Technology Training Workshop—a key step in our mission to bridge the knowledge gap between universities and the ever-evolving tech industry.

We had the opportunity to engage with over 100 enthusiastic students, many of whom were eager to understand how real-world cloud applications, SaaS platforms, and AI are transforming industries today. The students participated in a live coding challenge designed to test their problem-solving skills in a practical, applied way—mirroring the actual demands of working in a product-first tech startup.

Key highlights:

  • Interacted with 100+ students eager to explore how cloud, SaaS, and AI are reshaping modern industries.
  • Hosted an applied problem-solving challenge, reflecting real-world tasks at a product-driven tech startup.
  • Vicrum Vuppalapaty and Lekshmi Nair shared Fiscal Ox’s bootstrapped startup journey, and how they scaled a cloud platform used by labs, CROs, and manufacturers across India.
  • Students asked deep questions about tech-driven problem solving, startup growth, product innovation, and the role of tech in transforming small businesses.
  • Many students expressed interest in mentorship and were offered internship and contributor roles with Fiscal Ox.
  • Reinforced Fiscal Ox’s mission to build not just software, but a culture of learning, empowerment, and accessibility.
  • Part of a broader vision to mentor and equip India’s future coders, creators, and cloud innovators through inclusive outreach.

Our founders, Vicrum and Lekshmi, shared the inspiring story of Fiscal Ox’s journey—from bootstrapping a cloud software company in India to building a platform used by labs, CROs, and manufacturers across the country. They answered insightful questions from students on topics ranging from product innovation to startup growth and how enterprise-grade tools can empower small businesses in India.

What made this experience special?

We saw immense curiosity and passion in the room—students asked questions not just about careers, but about how technology can solve real-life problems. Many students expressed interest in being mentored, and we were happy to offer opportunities to join us as interns and contributors.

At Fiscal Ox, we believe in building more than just software—we are building a culture of empowerment, continuous learning, and shared success, accessible, and develop India’s next generation of coders, creators, and cloud innovators.
