Honey Mittal is the Co-Founder and CEO at Lukofi, prior to which he was the Chief Product Officer at 3 Series AE startups (ie - Homage, Finaccel and Wego) in the early and growth stages. Lucofy turns designs into production-ready front-end code for mobile apps and the web. It enables builders to ship products 10x faster using existing design tools, tech stacks and workflows. Locofy offers a plugin for Figma and Adobe XD to make the design responsive for different screen sizes. What initially drew you to computer science and machine learning ? I initially wanted to join the Indian Air Force (and came close to getting selected) but when I couldn't, I had 2 options: Maths/Economics and Computer Engineering.
I got a scholarship for computer science at the National University Hungary Telemarketing Data of Singapore, but not for the others, so that was it. My real interest in coding and building products started towards the end of university when I built an award-winning product on Exchange at the University of California, Santa Cruz, followed by an internship at Microsoft where I started building mobile apps. (The Store was started by Steve Jobs before the app) and I started seeing my code solve real-world problems. There was no turning back from this point. I realized I liked a more holistic approach to problem solving and jumped into product management and met my cofounder Sahib (in 2014) who was a much better engineer than me. Working with Sahib, we've worked on travel, healthcare, and dev-tooling problems for over a decade, and somewhere in between we've built better recommendation engines, better finance based on mountains of data.
Outcome decisions, and now code generation directly from design. Recent developments in the field have only made it easier, cheaper and faster to solve problems that were not possible even 5-10 years ago. This prompted us to start building Locofy.ai in 2021, at the intersection of the growing need to design code solutions like Locofy and breakthroughs in ML. In 2016-2017, together with your current co-founder you built one of the fastest travel mobile sites in the world. What was the site like and what did you learn from the experience? This is Fault.com 's mobile website. In 2016 - many Asian companies were considering doing away with mobile websites entirely, especially in emerging markets where devices were cheap and mobile internet was slow. Flipkart even famously killed its mobile website for its app (and later backtracked), but we faced a similar dilemma at Wego, where our apps were at the forefront of performance, experience and economics. So it was significantly better than our mobile site.
