My Entrepreneurial Journey: From Small-Town Student to Co-Founder of GrowHo
My journey from being a small-town student to co-founding GrowHo (Grow Horizon Opportunities Pvt. Ltd.), India’s emerging leader in Digital, BPO, and Gig Workforce solutions, is one of resilience, risk-taking, and relentless passion.
I’m Sachin Birhade, and my story is about turning dreams into reality. Born and raised in Jalgaon, Maharashtra, I moved to Pune to build my career.
With a strong foundation in digital marketing, IT, and business development, I worked with various companies, handling clients, digital campaigns, hiring, and government projects. Over 4.5 years of freelancing and corporate experience helped me gain deep insights into how businesses work, especially in outsourcing and digital growth.
I always dreamed of starting my own company. I have always believed that India’s future lies in digital innovation, job creation and outsourcing services. In July 2022, I teamed up with Dr. Gayatri Phadke to start GrowHo, establishing our headquarters in Pune with branch offices in Mumbai and Dhule.
We started with small digital projects but quickly grew. Soon, we were managing 8A digital property surveys, creating QR codes for panchayats, building a gig workforce worth over ₹700 crore, and offering complete outsourcing services.
A big win was launching our real estate platform, GrowwAcres, which earned ₹20 lakh in just one month, proving our ideas could succeed and grow.
GrowHo is more than a startup—it’s my dream. My vision is to provide employment opportunities to at least 500,000 young people and to empower every individual with digital skills. We’ve built a robust network of gig workers across India, given village students jobs as digital surveyors, and provided outsourcing and BPO services to industries like banking, healthcare, retail, and IT.
Today, our services span BPO (voice and non-voice), customer support, data processing, digital marketing, IT solutions, consulting, e-commerce, and government projects.
At our core, we are solving two major challenges:
- Helping businesses scale cost-effectively through outsourcing and digital tools.
- Creating jobs for India’s youth, especially in rural and semi-urban areas.
With a rapidly growing client base, steady revenue, and an increasing CAGR year after year, we’re now planning to expand globally. And with every step forward, GrowHo remains committed to its mission—empowering people, empowering businesses, and driving India’s digital future.
