Building a Digital Agency From Scratch: Startup Grind, Global Ambition, and Resilience at Techchaze

In today’s fast-moving digital world, building a successful digital agency takes more than technical skills. It takes vision, grit, and the ability to grow from zero, especially when your founders are international students with big dreams and bigger challenges. This is the story of Techchaze: a digital transformation partner that started from scratch and is now helping brands grow, innovate, and lead.

Starting From Zero: The Digital Startup Journey

Techchaze didn’t begin with big funding or a ready-made client list. The agency was born in a UK university classroom, where Jyoshmita and Faiz met during a group assignment at the UCLan. Their backgrounds were different, but their drive was the same. As their friendship grew, so did their shared vision: to create a digital agency delivering real value and innovation. Rajesh, the second co-founder, supported the team from India, bridging a five-hour time difference and bringing a global perspective to every project. This cross-border collaboration is now at the heart of Techchaze’s approach to web development, app development, and digital transformation.

Risk, Sacrifice, and Entrepreneurial Courage

Choosing to start a digital agency meant leaving behind stability and comfort. Jyoshmita gave up a promising job in the UK’s events and restaurant industry, while Faiz convinced investors to support their vision even as he completed his MBA. Rajesh, still in India, worked late nights to help build the company before eventually leaving his own full-time job to join Techchaze full-time. We took real risks, financially and personally because we believed in building a digital agency that could deliver growth and value for startups and established brands alike. These sacrifices and bold decisions set the foundation for a company that values ambition, reliability, and forward-thinking solutions.

The Realities of Startup Growth: Teamwork and Resilience

The first six months were a true test of grit. The team worked odd hours, struggled to land clients, and debated every decision. Money was tight. There were arguments, mistakes, and moments when quitting seemed easier. But every late night, every setback, and every lesson brought the team closer. They learned to trust each other, communicate across time zones, and keep going when things got tough. Their journey was full of uncertainty but also full of growth.

Teamwork and Courage: Building Across Borders

What set Techchaze apart wasn’t just technical skill, it was the willingness to stick together through the hard parts. The power of international ambition was real: different backgrounds brought fresh perspectives, new ideas, and the ability to solve problems creatively. The team wasn’t just building websites and apps, they were building a company culture that valued resilience, honesty, and relentless improvement.

Breakthroughs and Bigger Dreams

After months of struggle, Techchaze finally landed its first client, a milestone that made every sacrifice worthwhile. But the team didn’t stop there. In their first year, they built and launched Genzume, an AI-powered resume and portfolio builder, and Restaurant Manager, a platform to streamline operations for takeaways and restaurants. Techchaze continues to work on automation tools and has even more ideas in the pipeline. Each new product is a testament to their belief in building, learning, and never settling.

Why This Story Matters for Brands Seeking Digital Transformation

Techchaze is more than a web development agency. As international founders, the team understands the startup grind, the value of risk-taking, and the power of teamwork. Their journey from zero means they know how to scale, adapt, and deliver digital transformation for brands of any size. Brands looking for a partner who brings ambition, reliability, and a global mindset to every project will find Techchaze ready to help them grow.
