Shownotes

This week, we’re diving into the messy world of **hospitality tech** and uncovering solutions that actually work.  

Our guest is Abdul Ahadh, CEO and co-founder of Calry, a game-changing Unified API for property management systems (PMS). If you’ve ever struggled with clunky integrations or wasted time wrestling with tech that doesn’t play nice, this episode is for you.  

We break break down:  

- Why the PMS integration game is broken.  

- How Calry’s Unified API cuts through the chaos.  

- Real-world benefits like reduced resource burn and faster integrations.  

Plus, Ahad shares his journey from Bangalore’s startup scene to disrupting the short-term rental API game. He gives us a sneak peek into Calry’s expansion plans and why they’re the partner you need to scale smarter, not harder.
