A son of a farmer from a small Tamil Nadu village has founded a software company that has already generated revenue of Rs 1.5 crore after leaving a nine‑year job.
A young entrepreneur from a remote village in Tamil Nadu, whose father works as a farmer, has set up a software development firm that has crossed the Rs 1.5‑crore revenue mark. The venture was launched after he quit a nine‑year stint in the corporate sector to pursue his own ideas.
The founder, who grew up in an agrarian setting, decided to shift from a stable job to the tech space, leveraging his self‑taught programming skills. He started the company with a small team and focused on delivering custom software solutions to regional businesses.
Within a short span, the firm secured contracts that propelled its turnover to Rs 1.5 crore, signalling strong demand for affordable tech services in tier‑2 and tier‑3 markets. The entrepreneur plans to expand the team and explore cloud‑based products to reach a wider client base.
Industry observers note that such stories underline the growing trend of youth from non‑urban backgrounds entering the technology sector, contributing to both local employment and the broader digital economy.
