what i'm doing now

2026: The Year of Foundations (Universal Year 1)

STATION: AHMEDABAD (INDIA) // STATUS: DYNAMIC CIRCUIT 

I stopped protecting what I built. Now I am building what is next.

The previous version of Upsquare is sunset. The future outgrew it.

A new Upsquare is born: the engineering and technology builder within the EightQor ecosystem.

This is one move inside the Master Reset now executing across the ecosystem: strategy-first, AI-native, interdependent. No silos.

House of Starts is no longer Upsquare’s child. It is now a direct child of EightQor, which makes Upsquare its sibling.

Business permits what biology does not. A child gave birth to a parent. In the new avatar, the child became a sibling.

1. THE COORDINATES

  • Frankfurt, Munich, Zurich, London, Amsterdam, Hannover, Berlin, and Riga in the last 50 days. Visit to Riga marked my 50th unique country (Latvia).

  • Munich offered an opportunity to expand my vision of the business community there.
  • London offered 3 investment opportunities for EightQor Capital, one JV opportunity for Upsquare, and two ongoing conversations about setting up House of Starts in the UK!
  • Within our JV, Amsterdam offered 3 unique opportunities.  
  • Riga / Latvia was a surprise. One full day of business visit to a local factory gave me an insight into its business landscape. A little unusual, but sounds promising. 

  • Current Station: Ahmedabad, India. Landed 7 July. Here until 14 July.

  • Next Station: UAE.

2. THE WORK 

  • EightQor Capital: Second investment finalized. A real estate position in Ahmedabad, India.

  • Business Solutions: One of the finest professionals in our ecosystem has joined as a co-creation partner. This strengthens our Business Solutions offerings from the inside.

  • AI Actions Lab: Every Friday at House of Starts, Sindhubhavan Road, Ahmedabad. Open hours for founders and operators who want to move from AI curiosity to AI execution. In partnership with eChai. Rooms fill fast.

  • Social Venture Builder: Early architecture stage. A dedicated social enterprise builder for Indian founders.

  • New digital infrastructure:

3. THE INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL

  • The UV Almanac: The new version of utpalmv.com is live. It holds the frameworks built over the past 15 years: MSDx, 5P, and the Sovereign Strategy. Source code, not a blog.

  • The Blueprint: Mid-draft. A treatise on the transition from founder to architect, for founders who have hit the ceiling of doing everything themselves.

  • Study: Vedic astrology alongside The Sovereign Individual. Testing whether ancient models predict risk the same way modern capital frameworks do.

4. THE PROTOCOL (Availability)

Email is processed twice daily. Meetings by institutional invitation only. If it does not strengthen the architecture, I am not available for it.

AI Open Hours run every Friday at House of Starts, Ahmedabad. Walk in. No appointment needed. You may not always find me there, but my high-agency team.

This page reflects my current focus. If you are looking for an architect designing enduring systems, you are in the right place.

STATION: AHMEDABAD (INDIA) //  STATUS: HARDENING [LOG END]

First class or economy, the same man arrives. Comfort that depends on the cabin is not comfort. It is a dependency.
