From Cloud Computing to AI-Powered Software: The Journey of Builder.ai’s Sachin Dev Duggal At just 40 years old, Sachin Dev Duggal is already a self-made billionaire, thanks to his visionary leadership of Builder.ai, an AI-driven software platform that is revolutionizing app development. The company’s recent Series D funding round raised over $250 million, bringing its total capital raised to more than $450 million. With this new funding, Builder.ai’s valuation has soared to nearly 1.8 times that of its previous round in 2022. Before founding Builder.ai in 2016, Sachin was already a seasoned entrepreneur. His first company, Nivio, was a pioneer in the cloud computing space, which he sold for $100 million. He then invested part of that money into Builder.ai, a decision that has clearly paid off. Starting with just five employees, Builder.ai has grown into a global leader in AI-powered software development, with offices in the UK, US, UAE, Singapore, and France. Builder.ai’s low-code, no-code platform allows anyone — regardless of technical expertise — to build custom software by combining reusable components. This has empowered a wide range of businesses, from local artisans to larger enterprises, to develop digital solutions quickly and affordably. With a workforce that has quadrupled and a strong partnership with Microsoft, Sachin is determined to lead Builder.ai into a new era of AI-powered innovation. His ability to identify market gaps and apply cutting-edge technology to solve them is at the core of Builder.ai’s success.
