My guest today is Mikhil Kotak! (Episode 163)

Mikhil Kotak's journey began in Palghar, Mumbai, India, before he moved to Australia in 1998 with limited English skills and no connections. Armed with determination, he earned his Private Pilot License by 2000, fulfilling a lifelong dream. His passion for entrepreneurship led him to explore various ventures while building a career in banking. In 2007, he entered Melbourne’s food industry with "Tiffins," a venture that appeared successful but faced hidden financial challenges. Learning from this, Mikhil transitioned into the cleaning industry, founding "High Clean" in 2013, which evolved into "FAMASO" in 2019.

Today, FAMASO stands as one of Australia's leading periodical services companies, known for its innovative approach to maintenance and cleaning across high-profile sites nationwide. Its success stems from a commitment to unique health and safety processes, cutting-edge technology, and an unwavering dedication to professionalism.

In 2022, KTV Working Drone Norway launched the world’s first drone cleaning technology, revolutionizing the high-risk cleaning industry much like Uber did for transportation. Mikhil secured the rights to bring KTV Working Drones to Australia, making it one of the first countries outside Norway to adopt this groundbreaking technology. In July 2023, he further expanded the venture by securing the rights for KTV Working Drones in India. The introduction of this technology in Australia marks a significant milestone, as KTV Working Drones has become the first company to successfully commercialize drone cleaning across multiple industries.

Looking ahead, KTV Working Drones India is set to launch in 2025, bringing this technology to the world's largest democracy with a vision to make a substantial impact.
