Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh – Not every detour is a dead-end—sometimes, it leads to something far more fulfilling. This is the story of Ayush Tripathi, a determined young mind from Bhind, Madhya Pradesh, who turned the disappointment of not clearing the Civil Services Examination into a powerful entrepreneurial mission. Today, he’s the proud founder of Snehnod Services, a home-grown startup bringing modern home cleaning solutions to doorsteps across Gwalior.
A Dream That Took a Different Turn
With a degree in B.Com LL.B and a deep desire to serve the country, Ayush committed himself to the UPSC Civil Services preparation. Two attempts later, when the exam results didn’t reflect the hard work he had invested, Ayush made a pivotal choice. Instead of giving in to frustration, he tapped into a long-standing interest—business.
“I realized I was always drawn to business and problem-solving. Civil Services was a noble dream, but not my only one,” he shares.
He didn’t stop learning, either. Pursuing M.Com in Financial Management, Ayush topped his class—proving once again that academic excellence and adaptability go hand-in-hand.
Starting Small, Thinking Big
Ayush’s initial foray into entrepreneurship—a vegetable delivery startup—was innovative but fell short due to lack of capital. Undeterred, he pivoted. With just ₹500, he launched Snehnod Services, a local cleaning service that has grown into a high-revenue startup, now clocking over ₹1 lakh per month in business.

More Than a Business: A Local Impact Movement
Ayush’s mission goes beyond clean homes. He’s focused on employment generation, especially for unskilled and semi-skilled workers in and around Gwalior. His model empowers these individuals with training, income stability, and a dignified livelihood.
He believes, “A startup should solve real problems and support real people. Snehnod does both.”
