About Richards Louis
Richards Louis is the Founder and CEO of Doifoo and is based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. Doifoo is an AI-powered travel profile app that helps users manage their travel preferences and bookings across multiple brands and platforms. Tracxn lists Doifoo as founded in 2020 by Richards Louis and Stinie Rosario.
Before Doifoo he managed Richiesoft Studio, which included Richiesoft, Denebsky and ILRLabs. He says lean teams reported directly to him and built product from scratch. Crunchbase lists Richiesoft as a closed, Chennai-based company with Kratika Goel and Richards Louis as founders. It describes ILRLabs as an ad-tech startup within the studio.
Crunchbase lists executive education from Harvard Business School, IIM Bangalore, the University of Cambridge and others, plus a B.E. in Computer Science from Anna University. His Intro profile calls him a tech evangelist and bootstrapper who offers advice on tech careers.
Crunchbase shows 2 investments, 2 portfolio companies and 2 lead investments, with no exits. Both appear to be in companies he founded. One is a convertible note in Doifoo. The other is a seed round in Richiesoft, where he is listed as lead investor. We found no public record of him backing other founders' companies, and no stated investment thesis.
The only AI-related investment on record is his convertible note in Doifoo, which is his own AI travel company. We found no public AI investments in outside startups.
He has not published a stage focus, sector focus, check size or fund size. His operating experience is in travel technology, consumer apps and ad-tech. A LinkedIn post from Doifoo's own fundraising describes him as raising a pre-seed round, so he is currently more active as a founder raising capital than as an investor writing checks.
