However, he always wanted to start his own startup company and already had one app idea in mind – video-based challenge application. Our client got this idea when he was doing an executive job. To dedicatedly work on his app idea, our client left his job and started his own startup company. How our client found us for his challenge applicationAfter deciding to develop an image and video-based challenge app, he started searching for the top mobile app development company in Google. While searching, he found our website as we were ranking on the first page with mobile app development company keyword. Our client visited our website and checked our portfolio section to know more about our company.
