IIT Delhi Alum Builds Four Businesses From Patna to Mexico

In 2023, he and another engineer opened an Indian food business called Aroma Curry in Mexico City.
Customers began asking them to cater weddings and other large events.
Suman then opened a yoga studio called Santulan.
When customers wanted more services, the studio added Pilates equipment and became highly rated.
He also created Klasius, software that helps gyms manage bookings, payments, and messages.
Finally, he and three friends created Fortify to help businesses fight fraud.
