Kyoho
In this exclusive reflection, Jyoti Dayah, Founder and CEO of Kyoho, shares the story behind building a global platform for trusted expertise and how individuals across India and beyond can now access guidance across borders.
When I started Kyoho, it was never just about launching another platform. It was about solving a real problem I lived through and that so many of us still face today: Why is it so hard to find trusted, expert guidance when it matters most?
After sixteen years navigating global markets in financial services and moving from South Africa to the UK – I saw firsthand how overwhelming and inconsistent the search for credible advice could be. The deeper I went, the clearer it became: we don’t need more information. We need more trust.
In today’s world, where AI can generate content in seconds and search engines flood us with options, the real challenge isn’t access to information. It’s validation. Who can you really trust with your career, your business, your next big move?
That’s why Kyoho was born – a global consulting platform and app designed to bridge this trust gap.
Kyoho connects individuals and businesses to vetted, verified professionals across 25+ service categories, from leadership and financial planning to startup funding, immigration, wellness, and education counselling.
From the outset, Kyoho found its natural home with the IBU Group. What brought us together was more than infrastructure, it was our shared belief in strong values, collaboration, innovation, and purpose-driven growth. It’s rare to find a business environment that champions both excellence and authenticity, and I’m proud that Kyoho has grown within that space.
With South African roots, Indian heritage, and a life shaped by global experiences, I’ve always been a believer in diversity of thought – not just background. Growing up in post-apartheid South Africa instilled in me a deep sense of fairness, possibility, and resilience. Being a woman in tech and championing other female entrepreneurs is something deeply personal – not a trend, but a truth.
That’s also why India holds a special place in Kyoho’s journey. Last year, a family trip to Rishikesh felt like a quiet homecoming – a moment of personal connection to the energy and entrepreneurial fire that India embodies. That same spirit fuels what we’re building.
Although Kyoho’s initial launch focuses on consultants based in the United Kingdom and Europe, our reach is already global. Kyoho proudly serves users across six continents from the UK and Europe to North America, Asia-Pacific, Africa, and the Middle East – enabling individuals in over 34 countries to access trusted expertise, wherever they are.
While we are not onboarding consultants from India yet, we are proud to welcome individuals across India to access Kyoho’s trusted network. Whether you’re an entrepreneur seeking to expand into the UK or Europe, a student exploring international education, a startup navigating funding and legal support abroad, or a professional planning your next cross-border move – Kyoho is built for you.
Because when the moment matters most – when you’re building something that could change your life, you deserve guidance that’s credible, clear, and real.
This is just the beginning. And I’m so grateful to have you with us on the journey.
Jyoti Dayah Founder & CEO, Kyoho
