Two founders. Two businesses.
We are Dhanesh and Priyanka, a family of travelers, builders and parents. SparkyMinis was built on trains, in airports and at kitchen tables, because we needed software that could keep up with our own messy, beautiful lives. One focused product at a time, it became a suite built to enterprise standards.
Along the way we started a second business, Classy Explorers, to plan the kind of family travel we always wanted for ourselves. Both rest on one belief: you should own your business, and you should own your data.
What we run
Software for businesses, and travel for families. Each makes the other better.
SparkyMinis
A suite of focused business products, one per job, that work together: tours, invoicing, expenses, contacts, projects, surveys, websites, e-signatures, customer payments and a personal capture app. Sign in once and open whichever you need. They are built to enterprise standards, with roles, organization isolation, an audit trail and a public API.
Classy Explorers
Our family travel business: slow-paced, deeply planned journeys, each dedicated to one family. It is a business of its own, with its own brand and its own customers. The two of us plan every journey.

Family travel, unhurried.
For years, travelling as a family meant choosing between two tiring extremes. Group tours rush you past the landmarks and leave children and parents drained by mid-afternoon. Planning it all yourself costs hundreds of late-night hours cross-checking routes, transfers, stays and tickets.
We lived both, and we built Classy Explorers for the third option: thoughtful families who want to see the iconic places and the hidden corners, in the right rhythm.
Explore our journeysOne family at a time
Every journey is dedicated to a single family. There are no fixed group departures, so you choose when to travel and we plan around your dates, your children's ages and your grandparents' stamina.
The right rhythm
Iconic places and quiet local corners, paced so nobody is drained by mid-afternoon. We plan fewer stops, with more time in each.
Home to home
We plan the route, stays, transfers and tickets, so you are not the logistics manager on your own holiday. Questions go straight to the founders, and we reply within 2 days.
Run on our own software
Classy Explorers plans, quotes and books with SparkyTours, and its website reads the same journeys through the public API. Every rough edge we hit as a travel company becomes a fix in the product.
Built to enterprise standards
Small teams deserve the controls large companies expect. Here is what is running today, in plain terms. The full detail lives on our security page.
One sign-in, roles that hold
Owners, admins and members each see only what their role allows. It is enforced on every request, not just hidden from the menu.
Organizations kept apart
Your data is walled off from every other organization. Each request is checked against your role and your plan before anything is read or written.
Your money stays yours
When your customers pay online, the money goes straight to your own account and bank, never through ours. We never see card details, and the payment credentials you connect are stored encrypted.
An API with a paper trail
On paid plans, an owner or admin can open the API to apps and AI agents. They sign in as a person, can do only what that person can, are rate limited, and every call is logged.
Backups kept apart
Backups are encrypted and stored separately from your live data, so one failure never takes both.
Your data leaves when you do
Export your records whenever you like, and ask for deletion from your privacy settings. No lock-in.
Traveling the World, Building the Future.
Our journey started with a simple problem: running successful businesses while travelling the world with our family. We could not find a single platform that respected both sides of our lives. So we built one, then grew it in three steps.
- First: one app for everything
SparkyClassic
A single, free, all-in-one app: CRM, invoicing, expense tracking with receipt scanning, projects, trip planning, net worth, a document vault and around 20 calculators, all under one login. It taught us what people really use, and it is still there for anyone who likes it that way.
Visit classic.sparkyminis.com - Then: one product per job
The Sparky suite
We split the all-in-one into focused products that each do one thing well, then joined them with a single sign-in, shared roles and a public API. A team uses only what it needs, and everything still talks to everything else. No bloat, just professional precision.
See the products - Now: the suite, put to work
Classy Explorers and client work
We run our own travel business on the suite, and we use it in the data and AI projects we deliver for companies. If a product gets in our way, we feel it first, and we fix it.

Data & AI that works under governance
SparkyMinis is also a data and AI architecture practice for SaaS and healthcare companies, and for other regulated businesses. Dhanesh brings 19 years across healthcare genomics, finance, logistics and retail: data platforms, modelling, governance and cost, and now GenAI in production.
We stay hands-on, from data strategy to code, and we run engagements on the same suite we sell.
Talk to us about consultingData platform architecture
Cloud data warehouses and pipelines designed for the way you work: clean models, clear ownership, and a bill that makes sense.
Governance and cost
Access, lineage and quality that stand up to audit, and spend you can see and control.
GenAI in production
LLMs and retrieval built into real product workflows, with a human approval step where the stakes call for one.
Training for your team
Our hands-on Applied Gen AI Mastery Workshop has taught more than 100 students to build with the same technology we use every day. We can run it for your team.
Our Privacy Philosophy
Privacy is not a policy page for us. It is built into how every product works.
Your Privacy Rights
Built around GDPR-style rights: see what we hold, export it, and request deletion from your privacy settings.
Total Portability
Export your records whenever you need. There is no lock-in.
Private by Organization
Your data stays inside your organization. We never sell it or use it for advertising.
Our Values
Human products for
human lives
We decided early on to build differently. No VC pressure. No growth hacking. Just sustainable, beautiful software and travel, made by humans, for humans.
- Data Sovereignty
- Structured data is encrypted, and important files can live in storage you choose. You own your data; we build the products.
- Precision Over Automation
- Beautiful products make the journey lighter, but we never trade accuracy for "magic." You remain the final auditor of every transaction.
- Speed of Thought
- Edge-first delivery keeps pages fast wherever you are, so the product keeps up with you.
- Built for Independents
- We build for the independent professional who demands the same precision in their personal life as in their business. No ad tracking, no corporate bloat.
