Mooze Tech is a growing mobile app development company based in Delhi, India. Arbind Kumar is the Founder And CEO of Mooze Tech Private Limited. Let’s read their unique story!
Excerpts from our exclusive interview withArbind Kumar:
Tell us a little bit about your startup and the problems it is solving;
I was always prominent in life and dreamt of owning my company. This eventually led me to start my company- Moozetech. However, at my initial stage, I always tried to observe and learn from the business people, their work style and commitment towards their work. I cannot say that I was not scared, I had the idea but taking the first step is always frightening, especially when we try to do something out of the league.
Though the biggest challenge, I believe, is that people always demotivate and make you count negative things instead of encouraging. Plus arranging sufficient funds was another issue, but somehow I managed. It was my friends and family who trusted, supported and always stood beside me in all my ups and downs.
However, I’m glad that I left all fear behind, and my company MoozeTech was started in 2018. We began Moozetech with a core value to create an unbiased, honest and transparent knowledge-sharing platform that advocates all kind of application and software related concerns.”
We all are well aware that in today’s world; most of the businesses are moving for digitalization, having an own app has become a necessity especially if you are planning to launch your service or products online.
And we also understand that it is not easier for everyone to get an app, especially for the small enter required.
Though you can say that it has become easy to build an application, so what is new with us?
As being an enterprise, I know all the struggles and downfalls. We believe that everyone has a right to improve their business and through Moozetech, we are not just dreaming of fulfilling our purpose, but looking forward to helping others as well.
Well, we tried to come with the perfect and unique solution. Our App on rent service provides immediate access to have your own App for all sizes of business and entrepreneur. Our motto is to easily leverage all of our client’s with a feature-rich and top-notch application so their customers can access their services at one fingertip.
Our App on rent plan authorizes to own an app with easy rental plans without wrecking your budget. Additionally, we provide a customized web and app development and Graphic designing services.”
However, let me tell you, during my struggling days, it wasn’t easy to convince people that we actually can handle their work effectively and efficiently. However, all of these things have made me learn about strategies, creativity, event management which eventually helped me.
Where did the unique idea to start something like this come from?
It was noting something like the idea has accidentally popped up in our mind. However, I was always a daydreamer and wished to create my own business for applications and designing. During the initial stage, we tried to figure out what exactly people look into applications and websites and what holds them back from moving ahead with the same site.
Since everything we evaluated and researched has helped us to determine what and how we have to cater, we started everything from scratch and believed that we could make it big.
How do you find the industry/niche that you’re in?
If we talk about finding the right niche, yes, it was not easy to work. All of my work experience helps me to pass every ladder. Our niche audience is the one that chooses quality over quantity.
We start catering to people who are looking to move their business further or trying to boost their ROI.
How was your experience with your first client?
Well!! Working with the first client is something which thrills and makes your nervous.
If we talk about experience, yes I had gone through plenty of ups and downs, but yeah overall it was a good experience. From being a young, clueless entrepreneur to becoming a matured leader of a renowned mobile app development firm in the country, it has been quite an enthralling journey.”
However, I cannot take all my journey credit for all the success that we’ve achieved, as it was excellent teamwork and understanding which has delivered stellar results.
How do you manage to keep going despite the challenges? What drives the team?
Any business be it big or small is full of challenges, especially if you are a startup. We had our own share of ups and downs, but we are growing with each step because we have the vision to accomplish, which is much bigger than any of these challenges. The commitment which encourages us to work towards our goals reflect in our work. The challenging job for startups is to realize their goals, and over the years, we have proven self
We are a bunch of entrepreneurs who see beyond a job and money. It’s our passion to create something unique and big that drives us to keep going.

How do you guys handle the pressure and manage stress?
We believe in managing health and business simultaneously. We believe in creating a healthy work environment and consider each other as a family. We know that each work has its own pressure and anxiety, but generating an encouraging friendly environment always lessens the stress and increases productivity. We just do not say it, but live it. Apartingly, reading good books is also a great way to divert your brain too.
What is one strategy that you guys believe has helped you grow as a team/startup?
DO NOT GIVE UP, STAY MOTIVATED. Normally what we do is- we make a lot of business strategies but forget that this is a mental strategy that every person in a startup must form to make sure everyone sticks together as a team. This is very important as a startup.
What advice would you give to someone starting out?
Do your intense research before putting your hand into a business and do not divert your mind once you are decided with something. You must know in and out about what you want to do, so you rely on people only to execute your ideas. Try to build a need for your services first before you actually launch it. This is a great way to authenticate your work before you start sailing.

What is one strategy that you guys believe has helped you grow as a team/startup. During this COVID19 crisis, what are the measures you have undertaken to continue its own business without disruption?
Well, COVID-19 has impacted every business and has changed the way we usually use to communicate. And we cannot deny that it has not impacted us as well. But I don’t think communication has changed or could be changed by any crisis.
Since people are cooped at their homes, more companies are resorting online. We have also planned all the safety measurements when we will open our office. We are adhering all the health-related measures laid down by the WHO and our government.
Safety: We always prioritize to ensure the safety of our team. By adhering the required safety guidelines, we took a pre-emptive decision to work from home.
Support: Technology has supported us a lot. Our team continually stays connected over WhatsApp, email, zoom, and phone. It ensures that our team collaboration is smooth, and the mood stays upbeat.
Service: We always keep our client’s vision at the top and assure them that we will do whatever it takes to ensure that project deliverables don’t get delayed due to the corona or any other upheaval. We are willing and able to put in the extra effort to make up for the loss in impulse.
What are the lessons you have learned along the journey?
It is not easy to become an entrepreneur, anywhere in the world, as the setup is highly patriarchal. I also have gone through a lot, but it was my family and friends, who always supported and encouraged me in all of my failures. I consider myself fortunate to have such supportive people around me.
I can say, throughout my journey, what I learnt is, that you cannot rise in this world without struggling and getting battered down a lot. Whatever you are chasing, it demands a lot from you, but all you have to do is to avoid getting bogged down by any negative thoughts. It will be a base to achieve whatever you want.
Tell us about your mantras and your team?
We believe in teamwork. We have a team of nerds, who all are highly enthusiastic and determined towards their work. It is almost difficult to imagine Moozetech without this vibrant team. It was my team’s efforts and dedication to achieve a clear, specific goal has always boosted me up whenever I felt down. Even during this pandemic situation, when we are forced to adopt a completely new work model, my team has been so supportive and has worked twice hard. We are a tightly knit unit who always believe and support each other against all the rough time.
