Portrait of Sumitabh Shyamal
Taking on two new automation projects this month

hey! I'm Sumitabh

I'm 19, and I build AI automations for businesses. Co-founder and CTO at Daden Group and Kubes. I take the repetitive, expensive, soul-draining parts of a company and hand them to machines that don't get tired.

"Most businesses don't need more people. They need fewer things that require a person."

My story

I was the kid who bunked class to figure out how things worked.

School and I never really agreed. I'd sit in the last bench, decide the period was a waste of a perfectly good afternoon, and go read about how software gets made instead. Eventually I stopped pretending I'm enrolled in a school on paper, and the actual education has been the internet, a second-hand laptop and an unhealthy number of hours.

No formal degree. No cofounder handed to me by a college network. Just a very stubborn habit: when something looked hard, I'd take it apart until it didn't. That habit turned into websites, then into automations, then into two companies Daden Group and Kubes where I'm the person responsible for whether the technology actually works.

The thing I found out early: businesses aren't slow because their people are bad. They're slow because good people spend their day copying things from one box into another. That's the problem I've decided to spend my twenties on.

I still work most of the day. Not because someone's watching because this is genuinely the most interesting time to be alive if you like AI, technology and business. I'm 19 and I'd rather be the person who learns fastest in the room than the person who sounds smartest in it.

What I build

Systems that quietly do the work nobody wants to do.

Four things, done properly, instead of twenty things done adequately.

01

AI systems that do the work

Not a chatbot bolted onto your website. Agents that read your inbox, qualify leads, draft the reply, update the CRM, and tell a human only when a human is actually needed.

02

Business process automation

Intake, routing, approvals, reporting, follow-up. I map how your team already works, then build the pipeline around it so nobody has to learn a new religion.

03

Internal tools & dashboards

The spreadsheet everyone is scared to touch, turned into software. Clean, fast, permissioned, and boring in the best possible way.

04

Websites for brands & founders

Sites that read like a person wrote them and load like an engineer built them. Positioning first, pixels second.

Ventures

Two companies, one obsession.

I don't just advise on this. I run the systems, on real revenue, with real people depending on them.

Daden Group

Co-founder & CTO

An agency with two engines under one roof: AI automation and performance marketing. I own the automation side — the systems that replace two or three manual hires without touching the people who are actually good at their jobs.

  • Business process automation
  • Sales & CRM pipelines
  • AI chatbots and agents
  • Live ROI dashboards

Kubes

Co-founder & CTO

Kubes builds the operating layer behind repetitive business work: intake, AI workers, human approval, execution. Where Daden is the front door, Kubes is the engine room — the product and infrastructure I spend most of my nights inside.

  • AI employees
  • Support & sales systems
  • Custom internal software
  • Cloud infrastructure

How we'd work

Simple, and deliberately un-agency.

01

A call, no pitch deck

You tell me where the week disappears. I ask annoying questions. If I can't help, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.

02

I map the boring parts

Every repetitive task, who touches it, how long it takes, what it costs. This map usually pays for itself before anything is built.

03

One system, shipped fast

We start with the single workflow that hurts most. Live in weeks, not quarters so you feel it before you fund the rest.

04

Then we keep going

Businesses change. I stay close, keep the system honest, and expand it only where it earns its place.

Kind words

What people say after.

"He's nineteen and he asked better questions about our operations than the consultants we paid last year. Two weeks later the work was just… running."
— Founder, D2C brand
"Sumitabh doesn't sell you automation. He shows you exactly where your team is bleeding hours, and then quietly fixes it."
— COO, services company

Working quietly with founders across India · Happy to sign an NDA before we talk

Say hello

Buy me a coffee, tell me where your week disappears.

That's genuinely how this starts. No proposal, no deck, no pressure. Thirty minutes, you describe the repetitive stuff, and I'll tell you honestly whether it's worth automating and roughly what it would take.

I reply to everything myself, usually within a day.
