In the first episode of In Case You Forgot Podcast: The Ownership Economy Podcast, we are joined by Stackby Founder & CEO Rachit Khator. Talk about an amazing story…

This is truly an incredible story and proves that it doesn’t matter where you live, if you have funding or not, and that you can build an incredibly successful business in a space that includes companies like Google, Microsoft, and other trillion dollar companies. Rachit is a true entrepreneur (and maker) who is an example for anyone that thinks you need venture capital, live in Silicon Valley, or can’t enter a market with the most successful businesses in the world, literally.

His story is awesome and I think will help any Creator, Maker, or Entrepreneur who wants to build a business even though it doesn’t make sense on paper. Sometimes imagination is what’s needed, not numbers on a spreadsheet.

Back in 2016, Rachit Khator was working for a Fortune 500 in the US, struggling with spreadsheets to manage his work. He was using so many tools and data was all over the place; using tools, left, right, and center just to manage all our internal workflows. Totally inefficient.

With an eye out to better organize data, collaborate with teammates, and automate mundane processes, Rachit tried every tool out there, with the hope of discovering better spreadsheets, CRMs, and project management tools to name a few. Only to realize that these tools don't allow you to customize your workflows the way you want.

After interacting with over 500 professionals across industries, Rachit Khator concluded that most people from Analysts to Managers to Directors and even CEOs, still heavily rely on spreadsheets to organize their work. I bet you deal with these annoyances almost everyday. And the amount of time wasted because of this will blow your mind!

With that, an idea emerged: How about I build a tool that is as easy to use as a spreadsheet, but can empower people with absolutely no technical expertise (literally, none) to create their own custom apps, automations, and software exactly the way they want?

And that’s exactly what he did!

Tune in to this podcast and learn how Rachit Khator has built one of the most powerful No-Code Tools in existence — Stackby — and has already empowered over 10,000 companies in 150+ countries to create their own no-code tools, automate business processes, and manage their work in a much better way!
