Teknowledge Software Seeks To Inspire New Generation Of Startups

Announcement posted by Teknowledge software 31 Jan 2015

The rapid growth of Teknowledge Software as an internationally recognized mobile app development agency in the last few years has been a tale of inspiration for many new, young startup-owners. In a press meet organized a few days back, the company CEO, Mr

Over eight years ago, Mr. Hussain Fakhruddin, a self-styled mobile app entrepreneur, started a smallish company called Teknowledge Mobile Studio. Fast forward to 2015, and the company has now emerged as one of the worldwide leaders in the app development business. The journey of Mr. Fakhruddin and his company is currently the source of inspiration for many new wannabe indie businessmen.


On the occasion of the launch of the Swedish chapter of Teknowledge (Teks Sverige) earlier this week, Mr. Fakhruddin expressed happiness at the fact that his company was indeed being looked up to by many new startups - both in India and overseas. During a brief media interaction session, he emphasized the importance of always giving prime emphasis on client preferences, in achieving professional success. Whatever might be one’s line of business, this is one rule of thumb that always holds true.


Elaborating more on the keys behind the steady growth of his Android/iPhone apps company, the CEO highlighted the crucial role that his team of developers, graphic designers, app testers, and other colleagues has been playing. To manage cost levels, many well-wishers had initially advised him to hire only a handful of software experts in his company, who would be responsible for all other aspects of mobile app marketing too. Mr. Fakhruddin, thankfully, did not bother to stay safe and limited, and proceeded to build a fairly large team - who had the facility to work with state-of-the-art infrastructure (iMacs, iPhones, latest Android handsets, and the lot). According to him, being too finicky over expenses never works out for startups - and, well, he has been proved right.


Staying a step ahead of the game has always been the mantra of Mr. Fakhruddin and his team of mobile app developers. At the press event, he recounted how he and his motley team had started out with Java apps in the late ‘90s - when the first-generation iPhones were yet to be launched. At present too, Teknowledge has started working on apps for Apple Watch (with WatchKit). Startups are often terrified at the prospect of ‘market competition’ - but Mr. Fakhruddin feels, quite correctly, that inspired thinking and continuous research can easily enable a new company to survive and thrive.


There is a lot to learn from the systematic way in which Teknowledge has achieved growth milestones over the years. During the first couple of years of its existence, the total app-count grew slowly - as more emphasis was given on learning the entire process of app development, testing, submissions and marketing. Things picked up pace from then on, with the mobile app company at present just a couple shy of touching the 650-apps mark. Teks has also been making waves in the international markets - with Teks Mobile Australia (its Australian chapter) already serving a large-ish clientele. Mr. Fakhruddin is confident that, under the leadership of client-turned-strategic partner Maria Thyselius Bergstrom, Teks Sverige would also be a success story.


From being ‘just another app company’ to featuring among the most highly-regarded cross-platform mobile app firm - it has been a roller-coaster ride for Mr. Hussain Fakhruddin and his team. The man is in no mood to slacken anytime soon either. He reiterated that Teks is keen on maintaining the same standards of sincerity and dedication towards clients during all stages of projects - right from providing free app quotes and sharing wireframes and prototypes, to app store submissions and actively seeking feedback. Teks is already on solid grounds, and the workaholic CEO is keen to expand its reach further.


The event was attended by more than 300 mobile app developers and enthusiasts (either working freelance or associated with startup firms). The general consensus among them was, meeting Mr. Fakhruddin in person and hearing about the hard work and toil behind the apparently ‘fairytale growth’ of his company had been an invigorating experience. There was a small Q&A session at the end of the session, when owners of startup companies from the software sector posed questions to Mr. Fakhruddin.


Starting from a relatively humble level, the Teks brand is now a name to reckon with in the domain of smartphone app development. The corporate blueprint of the company is indeed a worthy source of inspiration for new entrants to the market.
