Welcome to My World

Greetings, fellow dreamers and doers. I’m Shivraj Patil, and if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to dive headfirst into the entrepreneurial waters with nothing but a high school diploma and a head full of dreams, you’re in the right place. My journey from a 16-year-old with a vision to the founder of EMERGESPHERE Technologies and Adding Values is a story of grit, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of making a significant impact.

The First Spark: Launching Solapuri Bana

It all started in the quiet chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic. While many saw a period of uncertainty, I saw a canvas of opportunities. My first venture, Solapuri Bana, was born out of a simple conversation with an English teacher, blossoming into a digital platform designed to keep my community informed and connected. Though this early venture did not survive the turbulence of startup life, it taught me lessons in trust, partnership, and the harsh realities of entrepreneurship without formal structures.

Building EMERGESPHERE Technologies: A Commitment to Innovation

Not one to be deterred by setbacks, I channeled my learnings into establishing EMERGESPHERE Technologies. With projects like an AI-powered portable spirometer and the environmentally friendly Erion air purifier, our mission is clear: harness technology to solve real-world problems. Each project under EMERGESPHERE is more than just a product; it’s a stepping stone towards healthier lives and a healthier planet.

Adding Values: More Than Just Content

Adding Values started as an evolution of AudioBookMC, transforming into a platform with a staunch mission to combat misinformation and foster knowledge. Here, we don’t just share content; we build an ecosystem where every piece of information is meticulously curated for truthfulness and relevance. The '1 Percent Club' is our latest endeavor under Adding Values, designed to empower individuals with free, quality resources for growth—both personal and professional.

A Founder’s Philosophy: Ethics, Community, and Sustainability

As a founder, my philosophy is simple yet profound: build businesses that do good, create value, and sustain themselves. This philosophy drives every decision at EMERGESPHERE and Adding Values. We’re not just creating companies; we’re nurturing communities and fostering environments where innovation thrives on the bedrock of ethical practices.

The Road Ahead: Dreams to Realities

The path of entrepreneurship is as challenging as it is rewarding. As I look ahead, my vision for EMERGESPHERE and Adding Values is expansive. We aim to push the boundaries of what’s possible, innovate relentlessly, and continue to provide solutions that not only address today’s challenges but also anticipate tomorrow’s opportunities.
