This story is about Manoj Ahirwar. He left his job as a senior software engineer to build MVP's - and he is not looking back.

Launched July 2023
$100K in revenue one year after launch

Manoj Ahirwar, an Indian entrepreneur with 7+ years of experience, launched his first product in 2015 - a college social network for study materials. Despite challenges, including failed VC funding for a fintech startup in 2020, Manoj pushed forward. He left his job as a senior software engineer in Singapore in 2023 to fully commit to his new venture, UniqueSide.

UniqueSide is an MVP-focused software development company that helps entrepreneurs quickly launch their products. With two business models—fixed cost or long-term partnerships—UniqueSide has seen success, achieving over $100K in revenue within its first year.

Though Manoj struggled initially with customer acquisition, his active presence on X and LinkedIn helped him gain clients. As of November 2023, UniqueSide officially registered in Singapore and now has a small team of developers.

While the journey has had its challenges, including experimenting with paid ads, Manoj remains focused on refining his marketing strategy for continued growth.
