Building businesses from
firsthand experience.

I’m based in Hyderabad, building across home automation, business software, and commerce. Many of the ideas begin close to home—with my family’s shops, our team, and the people we work with.

My story

It began at
KL University.

A classmate, a company in Guntur, and a partnership that continues today.

Guntur to HyderabadVeera Sanaka

KL University · Guntur

Our first company, in our second year.

Amarnath Maddireddy and I met as engineering classmates at KL University. In our second year, we started D4Devs in Guntur. That was the beginning of our working relationship, long before we co-founded Amvention.

World Blood Organisation

A search for a donor became a reason to build.

When a professor’s brother needed A-negative blood, finding a donor meant visiting blood banks and making calls. Amarnath and I created World Blood Organisation to help connect patients with nearby donors. It showed me how software could respond to an immediate human need.

Enterprise experience

Learning how businesses work at scale.

My career took me through Wipro, Srireina, Bellatrix, Alletec, Birlasoft, and Mashreq. Working on business applications, integrations, and automation taught me to understand a process before designing the software around it.

Mythri Media · 2019

An audience of 2.2 lakh, and a lesson in revenue.

I started Mythri Media after the 2019 general elections. The news channel reached about 2.2 lakh YouTube subscribers, but advertising revenue could not sustain it. I sold the venture after losses. That experience later led to Adency and its focus on helping creators find brand work.

Hawiot & Amvention

Returning to entrepreneurship.

A home-automation prototype I built in college became the starting point for Hawiot Private Limited. At Amvention, which I co-founded with Amarnath, we own and build companies across business software, commerce, and other areas we know through our own work.

My approach

Close to the problem.
Involved in the work.

The experiences behind the products also shape how I choose to build them.

Veera Sanaka seated in a relaxed office setting
01

Start with firsthand experience.

My father’s shops helped shape Dukanam and Revvards. Running a small team with Chandrika led to NineRole. I look for problems we can understand through the people doing the work.

02

Keep it practical and affordable.

A shopkeeper should not need accounting training to manage stock. A small company should not have to buy fifty software seats for a team of twelve. Ease of use and pricing are product decisions.

03

Build with people who know the field.

Amarnath and I have built together since engineering. Today, I also work with founders and operators who bring experience in their own markets. Their understanding helps determine what we build and how it should work.

At Amvention

12 months.
12 ventures.

An ambition to build alongside founders who know their market.

Amarnath and I are working towards a model where Amvention brings product design, engineering, and execution to founders with experience in a particular field. IdeaWings grew out of this journey, following conversations with Harindra.
