At a time when the tech industry is dominated by established giants, Saurabh Sharma has managed to carve out a space by sticking to a deceptively simple principle: quality doesn’t need to be expensive. His company, Sqaby, has become a trusted partner for businesses seeking affordable yet high-quality software solutions.
Sharma’s journey began as a teenager who saw potential where others saw limitations. With no academic background in technology, no family business, and limited financial resources, he relied solely on his curiosity and determination. His nights spent in cyber cafes, teaching himself the ropes, became the foundation of his entrepreneurial spirit.
By 18, Sharma had already laid the foundation of his dream, and in 2023, he formally registered Sqaby with his long-time collaborator, Zabee Khan. Today, the company thrives as a mid-sized venture specializing in web and app development, end-to-end solutions, and a commitment to affordability.
The challenges were real—skeptical clients, underperforming hires, and uncertainty at every corner. But Sharma treated each obstacle as a test of endurance. “It’s about how you handle yourself when problems actually arrive,” he notes. His resilience turned temporary setbacks into lifelong lessons.
Sqaby’s success lies in its USP: affordability without compromise. By offering reliable solutions in food delivery and e-commerce, Sharma has already proven that startups don’t need deep pockets to access transformative technology. His future vision includes forays into edtech, fintech, and healthtech, industries that can shape education, finance, and healthcare for millions.
Recognition has followed swiftly. Sharma’s leadership earned him the Young Innovative Technopreneur Award, as well as a spot in Prime Insides as one of the Top 10 Inspiring CTOs in Delhi. These accolades affirm his role as a rising star in India’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
What sets Sharma apart is his personality. He describes himself as someone with no pedigree but a dream. That dream is to one day list Sqaby on the stock exchange, proving that sheer determination can outpace background or privilege. “I may disappoint people, but I’ll never disappoint the boy who dreamt of building something big at 15,” he says.
For Sharma, entrepreneurship is not just about building a business—it’s about building confidence, credibility, and community. His journey challenges the stereotype that success in tech requires a perfect résumé. Instead, it shows that with resilience, obsession, and the right mindset, anyone can redefine the rules.
