About

Helppli [help] + [ly]

Help: because that’s what we’re here to do. 
Ly: because we believe there’s always another way to do something.

We're here to make more possible for business

There are more ways to build, grow, automate, create, and connect a business than ever before. Making sense of them is another matter.

Helppli brings the people who understand the opportunity into the same room: strategists, developers, marketers, creatives, data specialists, and AI experts working together around the problem rather than passing it from agency to agency.

Sometimes that means finding more customers. Sometimes it means building an entirely new product. Sometimes it starts with a problem nobody has quite worked out how to solve yet.

Those are usually our favourite ones.

From first idea to what comes next

2000: A lesson in possible

Niroj meets Sir Edmund Hillary as a student.
‍
The photograph stays with him, as does the idea behind it: the biggest things often begin with someone believing there must be a way.

2001–2013: Building a global career

After university and completing his MBA, Niroj builds his career in global roles, leading software programs, working with international teams, and supporting tier-one corporate customers.
‍
It gives him a view of technology from the inside: how complex businesses operate, how software creates value at scale, and why the best ideas still have to deliver a return.

2013: The first venture

Niroj makes the move from building technology for other businesses to building his own.
‍
His first company, Proitzen, becomes one of the early providers of loyalty-based mobile apps in Australia and New Zealand, helping businesses move familiar experiences like loyalty cards and coffee coupons onto customers’ phones.

2015: KinderM8 begins

Niroj founds KinderM8, setting out to solve real operational problems in Australia's early childhood sector through technology.
‍
KinderM8 grows into an all-in-one childcare platform, bringing together the technology centres need to manage their operations, including integrated payments and connections with Australia's education ecosystem. 
‍
‍
2015–2025: Growing Kinder M8 into a premium all-in-one childcare product in the ANZ market
‍
Kinder M8 focuses on innovative products and AI automation to become one of the leading all-in-one childcare solution across Australia and New Zealand.
‍
For Niroj, it’s a decade spent learning what it really takes to build and scale software: the technology, the teams, the customers, the operations, and the relentless focus on ROI that turns a good product into a valuable business.

2025: A successful exit

Ten years after founding KinderM8, Niroj exits the business to private equity firm Potentia Capital.
‍
Yet, as one chapter closes, a much bigger question starts to keep him up at night: What else could he build?

Today: Welcome to Helppli

Helppli takes everything learned from building, scaling, operating, marketing, and exiting technology businesses and puts it to work for other companies.
‍
Alongside co-founders Jeromie Hill and Prenica Nirojan, Niroj is building a different kind of digital agency partner: One that can move from the commercial problem to the creative idea to the technology required to make it happen.

Built by people who've been on your side of the table

Our founders bring together experience across software, operations, growth, creative, and business building.

Niroj Sri

Founder, CEO & Chairman

Niroj is a 3x founder and technology entrepreneur with experience building software businesses, leading global programs, and working with tier-one corporate customers.
‍
He founded KinderM8 in 2015 and spent the following decade growing the childcare technology business before its successful private equity exit to Potentia Capital in 2025.
‍
At Helppli, he brings that operator's perspective to every problem: understand the commercial outcome first, then work backwards to the technology, people, and ideas needed to get there.
