About
I’m Vignesh
Reddy Kandi.
Born in India.
Grew up in Telangana. School years and all.
Moved to Finland with my parents.
Dad’s job brought us here. Not my call, but zero complaints.
And stayed.
Turns out I kind of love it here.
Studied Business IT at HAMK.
Half business, half tech. Perfect for someone who likes both.
Six months in Vienna.
Erasmus, a little studio all to myself, and easily one of the best six months of my life.
Still flew home almost every month.
Erasmus, but make it frequent flyer.
27 days at Lidl.
Part of my language training. Real Finnish, real fast.
Project manager intern at Calevalab.
Still at uni, learning how projects actually get done.
Joined Junction as a team lead.
Kept saying yes, picked up a lot more along the way, and ended up co-leading Nexus by Junction.
Found my people at Aaltoes.
A community member and properly active in it, 2022–2023.
Co-founder at Muruuu.
Also the go-to tech person.
Helping Finsell with tech.
Behind the scenes, keeping things running.
Started Finland Uncovered.
Stories from people across industries, in English, because so much about Finland isn’t.
Then lost almost a year.
Doing way too many things at once. Turns out that mostly just burns time.
So now, one step at a time.
Made peace with it. Took me almost a year to figure that out, but I got there.
Going bigger with Finland Uncovered.
The podcast is just the start. More things under the name are on the way.
2027? That’s the one.
Back, focused, and going for a proper hit.
