Soult Launches World’s First Digital Life Vault for End-to-End Legacy Management
Soult, a Mangaluru-based startup, has launched what it describes as the world's first Digital Life Vault for comprehensive legacy management, debuting globally at TiECon Mangaluru 2026.
The platform allows individuals and families worldwide to organise financial assets, documents, memories, wishes, and life instructions in a single private system.

Positioned as digital life infrastructure rather than conventional cloud storage, Soult focuses on legacy continuity by combining financial preparedness with preservation of personal values, stories, and guidance for future generations.
Its unveiling at the inaugural TiECon Mangaluru 2026 aligns the startup with efforts to highlight Coastal Karnataka as India's emerging “Silicon Beach”.
The conference brought together entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and ecosystem leaders to promote the region as a centre for innovation and investment. Soult's decision to launch there underlines its view that globally relevant products can be developed from focused regional ecosystems like Mangaluru, not only from larger metropolitan centres.
Soult was founded by Sanketh Kandlikar, an enterprise SaaS product and technology leader with more than twenty years' experience building and scaling B2B platforms, leading digital transformation programmes, and managing global product lifecycles across sectors and geographies. He has specialised in secure, scalable cloud architectures and productising real-world human problems.
Co-founder Saleem, a Dubai-based, Mangaluru-born serial entrepreneur, brings experience in building and backing ventures across the Gulf and India. As an active supporter of Mangaluru-origin founders, he anchors Soult's aim to grow from the coastal region while serving a global user base grounded in trust and long-term relationships.
“Soult was born from a very personal realization that while we carefully build our lives, we rarely organize what we leave behind in a way that is clear, complete, and compassionate for our loved ones,” said Founder Sanketh Kandlikar, describing the motivation behind the platform.
Soult is built on zero-knowledge architecture with strong encryption and user-controlled access, ensuring personal data remains private and inaccessible even to Soult itself. The company maintains a strict no-advertising, no-data-monetisation policy as it positions the platform as essential infrastructure for digital legacies.
