The Eureka Moment Of DeveloperOnRent
The idea got generated when the founders initially planned to build their own e-commerce product. They met various companies and all of them submitted their quotes. Across the quotes, pricing was different with almost similar timelines, processes, deliverables but yet no confirmation as guaranteed towards launch. They faced various problems and issues.
That was the Eureka moment when they thought and got the idea to define a model where anyone can RENT developer – the way customer want. Hence “DeveloperOnRent“.

The Building Blocks Of DeveloperOnRent
The man behind this amazing startup is Kapil Mehta. Being a Founder it was really necessary for him to find the “HANDS” which can work with him and live this passion each day.
In the journey, he found Jitesh, who is family to him and shared the idea along. Jitesh worked at Infosys for years on various technologies with great International exposure. Jitesh started leading the tech team with a handful of developers and delivering state-of-the-art solutions with latest tech trends, ease-of-use, User Interfaces and meeting all business processes at customer side.
Coming to employees, they identified five resources which can deliver complete full stack development with hands-on experience on various technologies. They brought them in and spent a lot of time putting various business scenarios and applications which a customer may ask.
They went through those detail deep-dive sessions many a time towards technologies, processes, procedures, re-usability, trends, what can make them deliver fast, learning new concepts and various behavioral aspects.
