Life as a dentist just wouldn’t cut it. After three years of studying dentistry at the University of Otago, Krishan decided to dive headfirst into his true passion: coding, building, and creating. By the age of 14, he had already developed his first iOS app, Swipe Maths, and since then, he has continuously honed his skills, experimenting with a variety of personal projects ranging from websites and games to more complex Python automations. In the summer of 2023, after successfully helping a few family members with their projects, Krishan realised he could offer significant value to businesses in Australia and New Zealand using his self-taught expertise. Now, as the driving force behind Bonsai, he works with a talented team to deliver innovative technology solutions to the global business ecosystem. Krishan’s days are filled with overseeing operations and ensuring that Bonsai consistently upholds its reputation as a quality service provider — a role he finds both challenging and exciting, and one he is profoundly grateful for every day.

Swap is a former lawyer turned tech yogi and a UC Berkeley dropout. After spending a year at an ashram in India, he became deeply interested in integrating technology with mindfulness—whether it’s optimising workflows or enhancing mindful living. Before parterning with Krishan to elevate Bonsai to the next level, he was immersed in a number of Web3 projects, pushing the boundaries of decentralisation. Now, his focus is on blending automation, AI, and intentional tech to create smarter, more conscious digital experiences.
