Sachin Dev Duggal, Founder and CEO Builder.ai

“Builder.ai empowers anyone to create, operate and scale the lifecycle of digital projects”

Building a software application has become a child’s play now. Builder.ai is one such platform, based on artificial intelligence, which allows people to build software without knowing how to code. The company’s core product, Builder, has hundreds of building blocks of frequently used code which can be cross utilised by different customers.

Since the cost of the program is split across a large number of customers, it becomes possible to offer it at a more reasonable price point. Ramesh Kumar Raja caught up with Sachin Dev Duggal, Founder and CEO, Builder.ai, to discuss more about the company, its services and the business model. Excerpts:

Sachin Dev Duggal CEO of Builder.ai has brought a sort of revolution with Builder, a software/app building platform. How did the idea strike you to come up with this venture?

The idea of Builder.ai took shape in early 2012 after I was burned by a rogue contractor. Frustrated and hearing my friends’ accounts of the same kinds of problems happening globally, I went to work to create a solution to this problem.

There is no regulation or credibility in this sphere. People with ideas just get overwhelmed by the whole prospect of developing a product. Hence, an overwhelming majority or services never see the light of the day. To top it off, timely deliveries, flawless product, fair pricing and safeguarding the idea are significant hurdles in this unorganized market. So, by deliberating on the issues faced by startups and enterprise, the idea of Sachin Dev Duggal Builder.ai was launched swiftly after.

Builder.ai launches app building solution

Tech firm Builder.ai said it expects to significantly ramp up its revenues to up to $150 million in the next five years from its suite of app development solutions.

Sachin Dev Duggal company Builder.ai expects this growth to be driven by its ‘Builder’ solution that allows people — even those without technical skills — to get customized apps built for Android, iOS and other platforms.

“Often people want to build apps but many times, they don’t have the technical skills or have been misled by developers. We want to offer a model that can help them choose the kind of app they want to build without worrying about the technicalities,” Builder.ai co-founder and CEO Sachin Dev Duggal told reporters.

He added that the cost of service will depend on the level of customisation and the features that the app has. The company also offers services to host and operate the app. “We expect USD 100–150 million in revenue to come in over the next five years from these services… Last year, our revenue was about USD 23 (rpt) 23 million,” he said.

Drawing parallels with the process of ordering a pizza, CEO Sachin Duggal said its “human-assisted artificial intelligence” platform allows users to pick features they want to include on the app, right from building the app to finer additions like Facebook integration.
