Fractional CTO · Technical Co-Founder

Fractional CTO for AI-first startups

I'm Kunal Vohra: six times a technical co-founder, cybersecurity researcher with 30+ citations, and founder of ColadAI. Two or three days a week, I'll own your architecture, your engineering hires, and your security posture.

For a fraction of a full-time CTO, with none of the equity, and pricing published on the site, so you don't have to sit through a sales call to hear a number.

The group

One studio, three companies

People often meet one of these products and assume they're separate businesses. They aren't. ColadAI, Paisewise and Enixm all sit under Panicle Tech, and I'm accountable for the engineering in all three.

Parent company · since 2019

Panicle Tech

The company everything else is built inside. Panicle Tech is my boutique technology firm. It ships client work, and it incubates the three product companies below.

Earned, Not Claimed

What the founders and teams I build with say

I had the pleasure of working with Kunal while building out my MVP and I have to say that it was pleasure to both interact and work with him and his team. As a first time founder, I had a lot of self doubt and internal ruptures, however Kunal's calm, never-say-die and never-panic attitude often helped bring me back to center. I can't vouch for him enough.

Anand Tahiliani

Founder, Debaser Technologies

I had the pleasure of working closely with Kunal during my time as a Product Manager at DhunGuru. As our CTO, Kunal and his team at Panicle Tech worked closely with me across the entire product journey, from building and launching our mobile apps to developing and maintaining our web platforms. His technical expertise, ownership, and willingness to collaborate made a real difference, and I genuinely enjoyed working with him throughout the journey.

Anirudh Joshi

Product Manager, DhunGuru

Kunal helped us architect Mosler's core platform, connecting smart lock hardware, our cloud dashboard, and PMS integrations into one reliable system. The foundation he helped design in those early days still scales with us today.
