Built by people
who build.
Adalwin Ignite is a partnership between Adalwin Commerce— a nine-venture group that's been moving goods since 2014 — and DappaSol, a design, build, and automation studio. Two teams that ship for a living, putting real money and real infrastructure behind students who want to do the same.
the backer
“We move goods. We move good.”
A Pune-based holding company since 2014 — a family of nine ventures across commerce, global trade, logistics, 3D-printed manufacturing, D2C, and software. The grant capital and the servers behind Ignite come from here.

“we design it. we build it. we automate it. we ship it.”
A design, development, and automation studio — 100+ products shipped in six years with zero handoff gaps. DappaSol brings the product craft, the engineering, and the AI tooling that funded teams lean on.

Sameer Kishore
Founder, Adalwin GroupSameer doesn't run one company — he runs nine. Under Adalwin Group, he's built across corporate supply, global import/export, logistics for MNCs, on-demand 3D-printed manufacturing, D2C brands, and in-house software, all under a single idea: 9 ventures, 1 mission, infinite possibilities. Ignite is the part of that mission that points back at the people just starting out.

Ishan
Founder, DappaSol · ishxnIshan left a job at Deloitte, started as a freelance illustrator through COVID, and turned a one-person hustle into a studio that ships at scale. Today he's obsessed with AI agents and automating everything — his rule is simple: if it can be automated, it will be. That same hands-on, ship-it energy is what DappaSol brings to every funded team.

// why we're doing this
Backing the next ones in
Both of us started with an idea and not much else. What changed everything wasn't a perfect plan — it was someone willing to back the work before it was obviously going to succeed.
Ignite is us doing that on purpose. We'd rather put ₹25,000–₹50,000, free infrastructure, and real mentorship behind ten scrappy student projects than wait for them to look fundable. Talent in tier-3 and tier-4 towns isn't any smaller than in the metros — the access is. We can close a bit of that gap, and we want to.
And it's a cycle, not charity. When a funded project grows, a slice of that success funds the next cohort — more students, more shots on goal, more of Pune's builders getting their first real push. That's the whole idea: build, win, send the ladder back down.
