In 2018, when Atul R Srivastava decided to dive into the world of software development, the tech landscape in Gorakhpur was barren. There were no software companies in the area, and the concept of digital transformation was still foreign to many local businesses. It was like stepping into the unknown, with little support but a burning vision: to bring the power of cutting-edge technology to a region that had yet to fully embrace it.
Starting Softintra wasn’t just about coding or building software; it was about navigating uncharted waters. “When we started,” Atul recalls, “it was a monumental task to even explain to local businesses why they needed software solutions. Most of them were skeptical and unfamiliar with how technology could actually help them grow.”
The journey was far from easy. They faced an uphill battle of earning trust from clients who were used to traditional business methods. As Atul and his small team knocked on doors, they were often met with doubt and resistance. Clients would question, “Why do we need this?” and “How can a small, unheard-of company provide the tech solutions we need?” But Softintra had a secret weapon—persistence.
The Turning Point: Overcoming Early Hurdles
One of the biggest challenges was convincing clients that a software solution wasn’t just a luxury but a necessity for growth. The local market wasn’t tech-savvy, and explaining the value of digital tools like responsive websites and apps was an educational journey in itself. Many projects were initiated with hesitation, but once clients started seeing the results, the tables turned. What began as small projects for local businesses soon blossomed into larger, more complex assignments as word spread about the quality of Softintra’s work.
As the company expanded, so did the team—what started as a small group has now grown into a 35+ member team, all dedicated to delivering top-tier solutions. They invested in advanced technologies—cloud solutions, mobile app development, and enterprise software—to not only stay relevant but to lead the way.
As their portfolio grew, so did their reputation. Gorakhpur was soon buzzing about the little software company that could, and it didn’t take long for Softintra to position itself as a trailblazer in the region.
Building Beyond Gorakhpur
Atul’s ambition was never limited to just Gorakhpur. With every project completed, the vision grew bolder. The company began investing in advanced technologies—cloud solutions, mobile app development, and enterprise software. These innovations weren’t just about keeping up with trends; they were about staying ahead of the curve. Softintra became synonymous with innovation and reliability.
“From the start, we wanted to be more than just a local player. We wanted to create solutions that could stand on a national and global stage,” Atul adds.
Today, Softintra is Gorakhpur’s fastest-growing software and mobile application development company. It stands as a testament to the power of perseverance, innovation, and the refusal to settle for mediocrity.
