Aunkita Nandi, born and raised in Bardhaman, West Bengal, is an inspiration to anyone who wants to make a difference in the world of business and entrepreneurship. Aunkita, who grew up in a typical middle-class family and graduated from a Bengali school, did not attend IIT or IIM but now owns a business whose turnover annual exceeds Rs 100 crore. Through her perseverance and hard work, Aunkita built her IT company named Tier 5, specializing in web development and digital marketing.
Aunkita, who started working towards becoming an entrepreneur while in college, now employs nearly 100 people. His company is headquartered in Indiana, USA.
Taking the plunge to start her own business was not an easy decision for Aunkita. She grew up in a typical middle-class Bengali family and her father is a government employee. In her hometown, she attended an engineering school where she studied computer science. She started developing Android apps while still a student and selling them for a profit.
While building Android apps, she came across Jin Woogen on the dating app Tinder. Woogen was working as a software engineer in Florida, USA. Aunkita talked to him about starting his own business. Together they built the foundation of the business in 2015. But neither of them had much money to invest. They had to start the business by renting two computers. They stayed together for almost 6 years before getting married in 2021.
In 2021, Aunkita’s Tier 5 business generated over Rs 100 crore in revenue. She has grown her business massively, from just two rented computers and now employees to 100 employees. She also has an office in the Salt Lake district of Kolkata. More than 1,500 customers use its services. His company uses a subscription-based business strategy. This allows other companies to use their software in exchange for a price.
Tier 5 has developed 25 software products so far. Aunkita is a living example of how one can succeed with limited resources at one’s disposal.
