Who is Thejeshwaar Paasila?
Thejeshwaar Paasila is an Indian technologist, product visionary, software architect, and musical composer. Passionate about solving modern isolation and Gen Z mental health challenges caused by passive social media consumption, Thejeshwaar founded IRLYSM (standing for “In Real Life You See Me”) under his technology entity SKY RISE AI TECHNOLOGIES in Hyderabad.
Combining advanced geospatial mapping, end-to-end Signal-grade cryptographic protocols, and real-time audio rooms, Thejeshwaar designed IRLYSM as a privacy-first social grid that empowers users to explore their immediate surroundings without sacrificing personal security.
📍 The Mission
To eliminate real-world social barriers and reconnect people in everyday environments — college campuses, cafes, bookstores, and events — through intuitive proximity mapping.
🛡️ Privacy Philosophy
Designed with zero algorithmic manipulation. No location selling, granular visibility radius (50m to 5km), and instant Ghost Mode that lets users vanish from the map with a single tap.
🎵 Creative DNA
With deep roots in music composition and artistic expression, Thejeshwaar designed IRLYSM with immersive shared music rooms, rich haptics, and aesthetic fluid UI.
