It all started with a journey of design and development together when Mr. Kailash Prasad Sah was exploring design and development in digital industries. He found one common problem in every industry. The design and development were not going very smoothly, and everyone was facing the challenge with their products. The idea was to bridge the gap of product development and provide seamless services in the digital industry in terms of design, development, brand positioning, and marketing.
This is when Mr. Kailash turned himself to multiple streams to understand the business. He was trying to explore more opportunities in the digital industry. He facilitated design and development sessions and worked for multiple products and consulting agencies. Post all the employments, he thought of exploring more about the industry and that’s when Tentackles was started with just one employee and one client in the co-working space. Read along to know more about how Mr. Kailash Prasad Sah built his career with Tentackles.
