Saurabh Singh is the CEO and co-founder of Appinventiv, one of the leading app development and digital transformation companies in India and globally.
Since founding the company in 2015, Singh has led it with distinction, becoming one of the pioneers of advanced technology.
He has written the story of a rising national project going global, powered by a strong tech team that has expanded beyond India to markets in the United States, the Arab region, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
An Inspiring Career Journey
Starting with a limited vision and a small team of just 50 employees, Singh successfully led Appinventiv into major partnerships with global brands such as IKEA, Domino’s, KPMG, Vodafone, KFC, Oracle, and NASA — all within just six years.
Thanks to his vision and strategic acumen, he has empowered over 5,000 tech companies to establish their digital presence and enhance their mobile marketing capabilities over the past 16 years.
He has also created more than 5,000 direct job opportunities for tech and programming talent in India.
Appinventiv’s Achievements Under His Leadership
The company generated approximately $14 million in revenue in 2020, outperforming many larger firms despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It was awarded “App Development Company of the Year 2020.”
In 2023, Appinventiv was ranked among “India’s Fastest Growing Companies” by The Economic Times and won the Deloitte Tech Fast 50 award for achieving over 145% revenue growth between 2021 and 2023.
It was also named “Best Workplace of 2023” by Outlook India, recognizing its institutional approach to employee support and a positive work environment.
A Human-Centered Leadership Model
During the COVID-19 crisis, Appinventiv adopted a zero-layoff and no-pay-cut policy, offering free health insurance to employees and financial support to the families of deceased staff — reflecting an exceptional humanitarian commitment to its workforce.
Focus on Innovation and Expansion
Appinventiv operates an in-house innovation lab focused on future technologies such as AI, virtual reality, IoT, and decentralized tech, aiming to deliver cutting-edge solutions tailored to global client needs.
It has also established specialized teams to serve two client segments: startups needing rapid growth support and large global enterprises, including Fortune 500 companies — ensuring a diverse market reach and a robust expansion strategy.
Singh believes that success stems from collective innovation and a strong organizational culture — not just a single idea or a small, highly skilled team.
He emphasizes that a successful company is one that enhances product quality and empowers its employees, always focusing on sustainable profitability rather than just market valuation.
