For Saurabh Sharma, entrepreneurship has always been less about business and more about obsession. “You have to be so consumed by your work that people think you’re crazy,” he says, echoing his idol, Steve Jobs. It is this intense commitment that has transformed a curious teenager from Delhi into the founder of Sqaby, a mid-sized tech venture redefining affordable software solutions.
Sharma’s entrepreneurial spirit sparked early. At just 16, he left his modest job, fascinated by what technology could create. By 18, he had already envisioned a company of his own. Resources were scarce; nights spent in cyber cafes on slow computers became his training ground. But scarcity never dimmed his ambition. Instead, it sharpened his discipline and imagination.
In 2023, Sqaby was formally registered, with Zabee Khan as his co-founder. Together, they built a company dedicated to web and app development with a unique promise: quality at affordable prices. In an industry notorious for cutting corners, Sqaby’s mission resonated with startups and SMEs looking for reliable partners without breaking the bank.
The journey, however, was far from smooth. “At times, clients didn’t trust our prices. Senior developers would hesitate to join us. Leads didn’t convert. But none of that broke me,” Sharma recalls. He learned resilience by focusing on mindset over obstacles. He cultivated patience, built credibility, and turned every rejection into a stepping stone.
His vision for Sqaby extends far beyond the present. With foundations laid in food delivery and e-commerce, Sharma’s roadmap includes expansions into edtech, fintech, and healthtech—industries that, he believes, can create measurable social impact. “Technology should empower, not exclude,” he explains, underlining his passion for accessible innovation.
Sharma’s achievements have not gone unnoticed. Recognition came through awards like the Young Innovative Technopreneur honor from Blinkwin, and a feature as one of Delhi’s Top 10 Inspiring CTOs. But for him, these accolades are simply milestones. The real victory, he insists, lies in creating an ecosystem where clients trust him and his team feels valued.
His advice to aspiring entrepreneurs is clear: value learning over immediate profit. “I’ve taken projects at a loss, but the experience taught me far more than any profit margin could.” His philosophy champions the long-term game of building reputation, not chasing quick money.
As Sharma looks toward the future—dreaming of taking Sqaby public—his story continues to inspire. It is proof that obsession, when channeled with vision and purpose, can build not just companies, but entire movements.
