About Us
Human-first
Crafting Products with Soul
Mauss Industries is a venture studio focused on solving overlooked but deeply human problems in consumer behavior. We build from insight, not assumption. We look for unarticulated needs and are excited about the things that no one is asking for (because they don’t know what to ask). Our approach blends startup speed with cultural depth—and we ship products that improve how people connect, celebrate, support, and share.

Our People
Where We Come From
We’re entrepreneurs, technologists, and creative builders from companies like Saavn (now JioSaavn), CornellTech, IAC, Snap, and more. Our experience spans entertainment, social, commerce, and AI—but we’re most energized by what hasn’t been built yet.

Observations
The Connection Gap
We believe the fast pace of today’s world has fractured human connection. The moments that once took time to thoughtfully plan for others in our lives are now oftentimes rushed. Time comes as a premium and often gets filled very quickly. And as a result of our quick, ‘check the box’ actions, the opportunity to create stronger connections with the people we care about is lost.

Maustro | Giving Reimagined
Maustro is a universal platform that helps people give and receive—from gifts to experiences to charitable donation to digital assets—with ease, freedom, and emotional depth.
Inspired by Marcel Mauss, the anthropologist who revealed that giving is never just a transaction but a social bond, we believe technology can rekindle the human connection at the heart of exchange. Our first product Maustro, we’re reimagining the gift as an expression of emotion, meaning, and identity — a digital ritual that strengthens relationships in an age of automation.

Maustro helps people share emotion, not merchandise. Every exchange becomes a reflection of sincerity and thoughtfulness.
Maustro makes it effortless to express what words often can’t. It’s a platform centered around emotion, presence, and shared meaning
I’ve learned over the years that building for everyday people requires becoming an anthropologist. We obsess over how people actually live — the cultural forces that shape them and the small frustrations they quietly accept as normal. The most powerful needs are rarely spoken, and the real thrill is creating something no one ever asked for, yet ultimately can’t live without.
