What began as a project among five students has grown into a promising young business, with Webora generating around ₹14 lakh in revenue during its latest three-month period and setting its sights on a ₹1 crore revenue target by the end of the year.
According to the founders, Webora started with a simple goal of helping businesses build and improve their digital presence. The team initially underestimated the time and commitment required to manage long-term client projects while continuing their studies.
The founders say they reached out to more than 1,000 potential customers during their early journey. One of the biggest challenges was convincing businesses to trust a team whose members were still students.
From ₹2 lakh to ₹14 lakh
Webora’s growth accelerated significantly after its first six months. The founders said the company generated about ₹2 lakh in revenue during its first six months, while revenue rose to nearly ₹14 lakh over the following three months.
The team attributes the growth partly to its expanding portfolio and client referrals. A project for Gadgets 360 was described as an important turning point because it gave the young company a stronger portfolio and helped establish credibility with potential customers.
As more businesses began approaching the team, the founders also say they gained a better understanding of common business challenges, including sales, digital presence and customer acquisition.
A revenue-sharing approach
One of Webora’s key business strategies is a revenue-sharing model.
Instead of relying heavily on upfront fees, the company says it plans to charge a relatively small initial amount and take a percentage of the revenue generated through services or products it develops for clients.
The founders believe the model creates a shared incentive: clients benefit when their business generates more revenue, while Webora also benefits from the success of the products it builds.
Five founders, different strengths
The five-member team says each founder brings a different skill set to the business.
While some members focus on animation and technology, others contribute to business strategy, planning and client communication. The founders say this combination has allowed them to divide responsibilities and work collectively on projects.
The team also says its experience working with more than 1,000 prospective customers has helped it understand different business problems and identify opportunities for new products.
New products and expansion plans
Webora is also preparing to launch new products, including Ghost and another product referred to by the founders as part of their upcoming product portfolio.
The company says it is also targeting 50,000 logins over the next year for one of its products. The founders have indicated that they want to build multiple technology products rather than remain focused solely on website development.
The team says artificial intelligence is changing rapidly and that businesses need to continuously adopt new technologies. Webora plans to use emerging AI tools while developing products aimed at helping businesses grow.
From student project to business
The founders’ journey also highlights the challenges faced by student entrepreneurs. Managing exams, studies and long-term client commitments while working on business projects required the team to put in extended hours, with the founders recalling periods when they worked for as many as 48 hours continuously.
Despite those challenges, the company has continued to expand its ambitions.
Webora’s stated target is to reach ₹1 crore in revenue by the end of the year, a significant jump from the approximately ₹14 lakh generated in its latest three-month period.
The company’s journey reflects a growing trend of students using technology, digital services and AI tools to move beyond traditional academic projects and build businesses while still studying. For Webora, the next challenge will be turning its early growth into a sustainable company while developing products that can scale beyond individual client projects.
