Founders' Story

Business, Life, and Everything in Between.

SparkyMinis is built by a family, for families. We are travelers, builders, and parents who wanted a workspace that could keep up with our messy, beautiful lives.

Traveling the World,
Building the Future.

We are Priyanka and Dhanesh.

Our journey started with a simple problem: We were running successful businesses while traveling the world with our family. We were managing high-stakes client projects from cafes in Paris and planning complex itineraries from Airbnbs in Bali.

But our tools were failing us.

  • For Business: We needed robust invoicing and project tracking to help our clients grow.
  • For Life: We needed a way to plan better trips and track our net worth while hopping borders.

We couldn't find a single platform that respected both sides of our identity. So, we built one. SparkyMinis is the result of years of "Digital Nomad" living—a tool designed to help you build a thriving business without losing sight of the adventures that make life worth living.

Our First Spark: The Trips App

In October 2025, we took our first major step by launching the Trips App. It was a standalone tool designed to solve the chaos of multi-destination travel planning. What started as a specialized utility quickly became a community favorite for its simplicity and depth.

Recognizing that travel is just one part of a wider lifestyle, we have now fully merged the 1.0 version of the Trips App into the SparkyMinis platform. This integration allows our users to manage their global business and their global adventures in one unified space. You can learn more about the legacy of our first app at LipiKit Trips.

Our Values

Human Tools for Human Lives

We decided early on to build differently. No VC pressure. No growth hacking. Just sustainable, beautiful software.

Data Sovereignty

We don't trust the cloud with your deepest secrets. That's why we built a Local-First vault that encrypts everything before it leaves your device.

Joy in Utility

Why should invoices be boring? We believe that beautiful tools make the hard work of entrepreneurship a little lighter.

Speed of Thought

No loading spinners. No waiting. Our app runs at the speed of your creativity, capturing ideas the moment they strike.
