The startup was founded by four classmates and goes by the legal name – Crypt4bits.
“We came together entirely because of our passion. We started this company when we were in college as a partnership firm concentrating mainly on software services. Then we planned to develop our own product and that is when we met our 4th founder S Naushad who is 33 years old. When he heard about the idea, he was really interested and started supporting us. That’s when we thought we all should work together as a team irrespective of our age. We compensate for each other pretty well,” says Bilal.
