I run MetaLink Solutions and built RezoTap — a live WhatsApp ordering SaaS for food businesses across India. 13+ years of building and scaling businesses from the ground up.
Four active ventures — one a live SaaS product, one a consulting firm, and two sector-focused operational roles.
A WhatsApp Ordering & Business System for food businesses across India — restaurants, cloud kitchens, bakeries, home chefs, tiffin services, cafes, and juice bars. Designed, built, and launched end-to-end.
Business consulting, digital marketing, franchise development, and brand solutions for startups and SMEs across India. Registered MSME — the operating base for all consulting work.
Driving operational excellence and scaling business systems in the financial technology space. Leading cross-functional operations from product to field distribution across India.
Building a structured healthy food tech brand from the ground up — personalised salad subscriptions and scalable operations designed for expansion across Kerala and beyond.
I'm Akhil Ponnappan — a startup consultant, SaaS founder, and operator based in Kochi, Kerala. 13+ years of hands-on experience building businesses across telecom, NBFC, fintech, and now SaaS.
I founded RezoTap and took it from idea to a live, revenue-generating SaaS product. Designed, built, and operated end-to-end — from product and infrastructure to customer onboarding and daily operations.
Through MetaLink Solutions, I work with founders and SMEs who need a strategic operator in their corner — not a consultant who hands you a deck and leaves. I stay involved until the work is done.
I also serve as Partner & COO at Orange Group Financial Technologies and Co-Founder & COO at Zikkago Superfoods — operating across fintech and food tech simultaneously.
From idea validation to first revenue. I work with founders to build the right model and move fast through early-stage chaos.
Repeatable systems that survive growth — process architecture, team structure, KPI frameworks, and dashboards for scale.
Positioning to funnels — content strategy, performance marketing, and brand activation that converts intent to revenue.
Structured models with partner selection, documentation playbooks, and replication systems for consistent expansion.
Competitive intelligence and market mapping — know exactly where your opportunity is before committing capital.
Brand architectures that hold up — from positioning and visual language to the narrative that makes clients choose you.
I bring clarity to chaos — turning fragmented ideas into scalable business systems. Vision matters, but it's the operating model that decides whether the company makes it past year two.
Whether you're a founder who needs a strategic operator, an investor looking at MetaLink or RezoTap, or an SME ready to scale — the conversation starts with a message.
