Necessity is the mother of invention.
This proverb will fit a majority of the start-up stories and we are not any different.
How it all started?
The foundation of Rannlab Technologies traces back to a time when most startups are still just dreams — during the third year of Umesh’s B.Tech journey.
While his peers focused on textbooks, Umesh spent late nights writing code for friends, automating repetitive tasks, developing tools, and researching gaps in software systems. Driven by a genuine love for problem-solving and a hunger to build meaningful tech, he wasn’t just learning — he was already building.
What started as small freelance projects — websites, plugins, ERP modules — soon turned into something bigger. During this time, he even engineered a fully custom operating system based on the Debian Linux architecture — a testament to his dedication and technical grit.
By 2014, after completing his graduation, Umesh made the decision to go all-in. He turned his college-born venture into a full-time mission:
To build smart, cost-efficient, and scalable software solutions that simplify operations and deliver measurable impact.
The story behind the name rannlab.com
"Why the name – rannlab.com?"
Every startup has a backstory. Some begin with capital, some with code — but Rannlab began with conviction.
In the early days, Umesh joined hands with a few like-minded individuals to build a dream: a company that could solve real-world problems through intelligent software. But as the journey unfolded, so did the differences. What began as a team effort soon turned into a hard lesson in trust, ownership, and resilience.
Rather than giving up, Umesh chose to rise.
He walked away from the comfort of collaboration and into the uncertainty of solo leadership — carrying nothing but his belief in building better software and a stronger company.
That pivotal moment needed a new identity. One that reflected freedom, reinvention, and purpose.
