Genesis
Manoj Ahirwar’s story begins with a bold decision to leave a secure job in Singapore to pursue a passion deeply rooted in technology and entrepreneurship.
With over ten years of professional programming experience, Ahirwar embarked on a journey to disrupt the startup world. Every founder sees problems and figures out a way to solve them. That’s how you build a company.
But even when you see a problem and know you have the solution, going all in is still a colossal leap of faith.

The Value in Businesses Helping Other Businesses
Manoj realized that collaboration and helping other startups succeed was not only a great idea but also a great business model. Many successful businesses have recognized the real value of helping other businesses.
By sharing knowledge, resources, and expertise, companies can benefit from increased efficiency and productivity and foster stronger connections within the business community.
Providing guidance and support to other organizations can lead to mutually beneficial partnerships and ultimately generate more revenue for both parties.
There are countless ways that businesses can contribute to the success of their peers. So if you’re reading this post and racking your brain trying to develop an idea for your business and how to design a SaaS product in 2024, figure out how to help people.
What do startups need? How can you provide that in a service?
Problem. Solution. Business model. While that’s an oversimplification, it’s how pretty much every SaaS business is born.
Fruits of His Labor
And that thing he really wanted to do eventually turned into UniqueSide. Under Ahirwar’s leadership, the company specializes in translating ideas into fully functional SaaS platforms, mobile and web apps, and even cutting-edge AI applications.
They aim to build and do so with remarkable speed and efficiency. This ensures that every MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is delivered with scalabilities in mind, often within a lightning-fast 15-day timeframe.
From the outset, UniqueSide was envisioned as more than just a product development company.
It was designed to partner with SaaS entrepreneurs, guiding them from idea inception to post-launch support. This part of the narrative sheds light on the company’s foundational principles and commitment to fostering long-term partnerships with its clients.
Finally! An entrepreneur who gets it. We preach content and marketing, and it’s nice to know that other SaaS founders understand their value.
