Unikon.AI is the latest venture by Aakash Anand, the founder of the direct-to-consumer (D2C) personal care startup Bellavita, which was acquired by Mumbai-based Ananta Capital.
Founded by Anand, Palash Arneja and Sumit Jha, the company has officially launched its new platform which enables users to connect with advisors or peers for practical, relatable, and genuine advice.
“For now, we will generate revenue by charging a 20% take rate from the providers for all interactions on the platform,” Anand said.
“The moment we go live, we will have around 7,000 people on the platform who have created their profiles and are ready to give their advice,” he added. Currently, the platform includes techies, marketing professionals, entrepreneurs, and psychologists. It will be accessible globally.

“By the end of the year, we aim to conduct nearly 2,000 calls daily,” Anand stated, noting that the platform is expected to have around 250,000 providers and about 1 million users.Users can post queries for professional responses, host events such as webinars or workshops, and share their knowledge to earn income. The platform allows users to set their own pricing and schedules for one-on-one sessions through chat, audio, or video calls.
“We’re solving the problem of access and creating a bridge for knowledge sharing. Our platform enables users to package their skills and monetise their time and knowledge. From my journey, I realised the immense value of meaningful connections and how they add value to an individual’s growth journey,” said Anand.
