Sagar Soni — Co-Founder
Ever since childhood, I have been passionate about computers. I was lucky to be born into a family where everyone was enthusiastic about the technology. Both my parents used computers heavily in banking and my two sisters were computer science engineers. My dad bought me my first PC when I was 7 (a 500 MHz Pentium III with 128 MB RAM running Windows 98) and I used to explore it all day. I used to read my sister's computer science books and got interested in OS, Databases and Networks. My programming journey began when I was 12. It began with Visual Basic macros for my mom, who worked in the administration HQ of a bank. I built automations that reduced the team’s workload from months to just a few hours. I wrote scripts that handled onboarding, attendance, salary slips, EPFO processes and even employee exits. In 2011, I built an informational + business listings website for my hometown Sirsa and got recognition from the Govt. District Library. Later that year I created multiple websites including a website that offered pirated movies, cracked softwares, PC troubleshooting guides, etc. I also created a multi-boot recovery CD which I sold to local computer shops. In 2012, my dad bought me my first Android phone. I created a Live TV streaming website, an online FTP hosting service and small tools that could crack MS Access databases and recover passwords for MS Word and Excel files. In 2013, I built the Samsung Galaxy Y Gaming Club, where I posted unlocked premium APKs, custom skins and ROM themes, ADB drivers and ClockworkMod recovery images. Soon it became one of the most popular threads on XDA Developers for the Galaxy Y community. I am also the author of some of the most popular Facebook apps and mini-games of that time including Today’s Horoscope, Daily Poke a Friend, Showoff Post via iPhone/BlackBerry (posting with iPhone/BlackBerry user agents without owning the devices) and a Facebook autoliker script which went viral. 100s of websites were later built which used that script underneath.
