Every successful enterprise has its origin story — but few are as raw and determined as Xpertnest’s. Founded in 2016 without capital, external funding, or client contracts, Xpertnest wasn’t born in boardrooms — it was built from living rooms. Three visionaries — Arun Kar, a military veteran with a bold entrepreneurial spirit, Chintan Panara, a brilliant technologist, and Pradip Butani, a sharp financial strategist — united around a extraordinary belief: that technology could solve real-world problems without the need to chase investors.
With no money, no safety net, and no grand blueprint, they built from scratch — fuelled by grit, patience, and dedication. What they lacked in resources, they made up for in resolve. And that’s how Xpertnest was born: not from privilege, but from persistence.
Over the course of seven years, they transformed their vision into a global digital powerhouse — now independently valued at over $100 million by a SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) registered Category-I Merchant Banker and additionally assessed by one of the leading accounting firms in the UK, as of April 2025.
The valuation was conducted following the Indian Valuation Standards. It followed the pricing guidelines set under Rule 21 of the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-Debt Instruments) Rules, 2019. This was done for the purpose of issuing equity shares. The valuation method applied was the Income Approach, using the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method.
Their story is not like the ones with quick wins or overnight unicorns. Xpertnest was built the hard way. Their journey began with nothing more than a shared vision and a modest start: just $900. After eight relentless months of effort, they secured their very first project. It paid only $900, but it meant everything — not for the money, but for what it symbolized: trust, validation, and a reason to believe. It proved that someone trusted them. That one project lit the spark. It gave them hope. They did not stop there— kept pushing forward, delivering real results and earning trust one client at a time. It was never about money—it was about showing that they could build something that works.
Now, Xpertnest is everywhere. From helping build smart cities in the UK to working with farmers in India using new AgriTech, they’ve grown big. They are building Smart Cities with Global Trust.
Today, Xpertnest is making its mark across the sphere — from shaping smart cities in the UK to empowering farmers in India through cutting-edge AgriTech software solutions. What began as a humble idea has grown into a trusted name in worldwide innovation. They’re not just building applications—they’re building Smart Cities with Global Trust.
Headquartered in London, Xpertnest has a growing footprint across the UK, India, Europe, and the Middle East. They also work with UK councils, law enforcement agencies, and top tier telecom and utility companies. Their tools and apps are even highlighted by Apple success stories. Their focus? Making useful tech, not just trendy tech.
Xpertnest is now a trusted technology provider to Fortune 500 companies, blue-chip firms across Germany, the USA, and India, as well as law enforcement agencies, councils, and major international telcos. Xpertnest is a preferred supplier for major telecom providers in the UK and the Netherlands. The company has supported UK councils in deploying smart city applications and private 5G networks for mission-critical services, including live car race events. They work with one of the Big Four consulting firms, maintain close partnerships with water utility companies.
What Makes Them Special? Xpertnest stands out because they chose a different direction. They didn’t raise external funding. They built everything on their own — step by step, with patience and purpose. They believe in expanding steadily, not rushing for the limelight.
Today, their company is valued at over ₹850 crores, a figure evaluated and verified by leading financial experts in both India and the UK. It’s proof that big dreams can grow from the smallest of beginnings.
What truly sets them apart is how they use technology. AI, machine learning, and smart tools aren’t just buzzwords for them — they’re practical solutions used to make real, meaningful impact in people’s lives.
In August 2023, Xpertnest successfully listed its corporate bond on a global stock exchange to reinforce its capital structure and enhance liquidity. This corporate bond issuance reflects strong investor confidence and positions the company for long-term scalability.
Founder Arun says, “Ordinary people do extraordinary things when put into extraordinary circumstances.” Chintan says, “Start small. Stay consistent. Solve problems. Repeat.” Pradip adds, “Resilience was our investor. Discipline was our currency.” These are not just words—they are the steps that took them from zero to being global tech leaders.
