/ who's behind ignite
built by peoplewho build.
Adalwin Ignite is a partnership between two teams that build for a living — Adalwin Commerce, which has been turning ideas into real businesses since 2014, and DappaSol, a design, build, and automation studio. Neither of us started with connections or a safety net. What we did have was people willing to back the work early — and Ignite is us doing that for the next ones in.
/ the backer
“We move goods. We move good.”
A Pune company that's spent more than a decade building real businesses from the ground up — and running the infrastructure behind them. That's what stands behind Ignite: not a cheque from a marketing budget, but working servers, operators who've done it, and businesses that can be a young team's first customers.

“we design it. we build it. we automate it. we ship it.”
A design, development, and automation studio that started as one person freelancing through COVID and grew into a team that ships at scale. DappaSol brings the product craft, the engineering, and the AI tooling funded teams lean on — and a founder who remembers exactly what the first year with nothing feels like.

Sameer Kishore
Founder, Adalwin GroupSameer has spent the last decade building companies from nothing — across commerce, trade, logistics, manufacturing, and software — learning the hard way what it actually takes to get a thing off the ground. Ignite is the part of that work that points back at the people just starting out: the ones with the talent and the drive, but not yet the door. He'd rather hand them the infrastructure and the network he had to build from scratch.

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 real infrastructure, operator-led mentorship, and our network behind ten scrappy 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.
