Raghib Khan and Faisal Abidi, two young tech enthusiasts, once dreamed of starting their own IT company as college fellows. They majored in Electronics & Communication Engineering from Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, in 2007. Before starting their entrepreneurial journey, just like many other talented engineers, these two friends went to work with global technology leaders like Google, British Telecom, and AOL. 

What separates them from other engineers is that they do not want to settle for a global-level placement. Unlike everyone their age, Faisal and Raghib left their respective jobs – a risk that not many people take. While most people got comfortable and relieved at leading global firms, the two dreamers planned and further acted on another professional journey together in 2009. They birthed RNF Technologies – a technology product and services development company based out of India that works closely with software, provides digital marketing solutions, and deals in app development, among other offerings.

Entrepreneurial Journey

The passion for creating something from scratch drove them to put their mind and energy into RNF Technologies. It is said that consistency and innovation are the two primary ingredients to cook up success, and both of them proved that the zeal to bring in change could end up being a successful profession. When people were settling in with their careers and regular corporate jobs, Faisal and Raghib thought of bringing the experience and individual expertise into starting an IT venture delivering a high level of service and customer satisfaction.

From being entrepreneurs at a start-up to co-founders and directors of multiple million-dollar firms – these engineers on the move now have global footprints with multiple offices in the US and India. And, they made it happen within a decade. In 2013 the duo founded another sister company named Phonato Studios which became one of the leading gaming companies in the USA within one year of its launch with more than a million downloads.

Trusting one’s skills and capabilities takes you a long way as it did in the case of Faisal and Raghib. Both the partners never relied on any means of funding. Instead, they bootstrapped and started generating revenue from the very first month of the company’s operations. Isn’t it inspiring?

The determination and hard work of the two engineers and professional partners have proved that an idea is just the beginning. What comes after an idea is the real deal! Many people dream of running a business, but it takes courage, resilience, and sharp-witted rendition along with management to start from scratch and reach the platform where Faisal and Raghib are today.
