Debabrata Sahoo, Founder & CEO, Graphgate
Private Limited
Can you introduce yourself to our audience and
share a bit about your journey?
I am Debabrata Sahoo, the Founder & CEO of Graphgate
Private Limited. My journey into entrepreneurship has been shaped by a deep
passion for both technology and craftsmanship. With an academic background in
Computer Science (MCA) from Ravenshaw University, I have always been fascinated
by how innovation can drive change across different industries. My path started
in software development, but over time, I realized my passion extended beyond
the digital world. I wanted to create something tangible—something that could
bring comfort, relaxation, and innovation to people’s lives. That vision led me
to build Graphgate, a company that seamlessly integrates technology with the
art of handcrafted products, offering a unique blend of digital platforms and
luxurious self-care essentials under our brand Nabo Sale.
Can you tell us more about Graphgate Private
Limited, and what services does it offer?
Graphgate Private Limited is a unique company that operates
at the intersection of manufacturing and technology. Under our brand Nabo Sale,
we craft premium skincare and wellness products, including massage candles that
transform a simple moment into a spa-like experience at home. These candles are
not just about ambiance—they melt into nourishing oils that provide deep
hydration and relaxation. Our soaps are crafted with care, blending nature’s
best ingredients to promote healthy, radiant skin. On the tech front, we
develop platforms like Rentrey and ONDC Nexus, which focus on digital solutions
for modern businesses. Our goal is to integrate technology into traditional
industries, creating seamless, scalable, and innovative solutions that cater to
both consumer and business needs.
Can you walk us through your educational
background and professional journey?
I pursued my Master’s in Computer Applications (MCA) from
Ravenshaw University, which laid the foundation for my technical expertise.
After completing my education, I worked with various companies where I gained
hands-on experience in software development, cloud architecture, and IT
management. Over time, I realized my passion wasn’t limited to technology
alone—I wanted to create something that engaged the senses and enriched
people’s lives. This realization led to the founding of Graphgate Private Limited,
where I could merge my technical expertise with my love for crafting
high-quality, experience-driven products.
What inspired you to start Graphgate Private
Limited, and what leadership lessons have you learned along the way?
The inspiration behind Graphgate Private Limited was the
realization that technology and traditional industries could work together in
ways that hadn’t been fully explored. I saw an opportunity to create not only
software solutions but also premium self-care products that enhance well-being.
The idea of crafting massage candles that melt into warm, skin-loving oils or
soaps that turn a simple shower into a rejuvenating ritual excited me. One of
the biggest leadership lessons I’ve learned is adaptability—whether it’s
adjusting to market demands, adopting new technologies, or refining our
manufacturing processes, being flexible has been key to growth. Additionally,
surrounding myself with the right team and staying focused on delivering value
have been instrumental in my entrepreneurial journey.
What are your key roles and responsibilities,
areas of expertise, and vision for Graphgate Private Limited’s future growth
and success?
As the Founder & CEO, my responsibilities span across
strategic planning, product development, and business growth. My expertise lies
in software architecture, cloud solutions, and manufacturing processes. On the
technology side, I oversee projects like Rentrey and ONDC Nexus, ensuring we
are creating impactful digital platforms. On the manufacturing side, I focus on
maintaining quality and innovation in our skincare and wellness products under
Nabo Sale. My vision for Graphgate is to strengthen its position as a leader in
both industries, expanding our reach in international markets while continuing
to innovate in both tech and manufacturing. I want our massage candles and
skincare products to become synonymous with self-care and relaxation worldwide.
What key skills have contributed to your
success as Founder & CEO, and what milestones and achievements are you most
proud of?
Several key skills have been crucial in my
journey—strategic thinking, problem-solving, and a deep understanding of both
technology and product craftsmanship. Being able to balance these different
aspects has allowed Graphgate to grow successfully. Some of the milestones I am
most proud of include launching Rentrey and ONDC Nexus as innovative tech
solutions, expanding our manufacturing unit to produce high-quality wellness
products under Nabo Sale, and seeing Graphgate become a trusted name in both
the tech and self-care industries. Every time a customer shares how our massage
candles have become a part of their relaxation routine, or how our soaps have
improved their skincare, I feel a sense of fulfillment that goes beyond
business.
Are there any key lessons from your journey at
Graphgate Private Limited that you would like to share, and what advice would
you give to young entrepreneurs who aspire to start their own business?
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is that
success in entrepreneurship requires patience, resilience, and the ability to
adapt. Whether you are in technology or manufacturing, staying ahead of the
curve is crucial. Challenges will always arise, but they present opportunities
to innovate and grow. My advice to young entrepreneurs is to focus on solving
real problems, stay passionate, and build something that genuinely adds value.
Whether you’re working with digital solutions or physical products, the key is
to stay committed, keep learning, and never be afraid to take calculated risks.
And most importantly, if you’re creating a product—make sure it’s something you
truly believe in. That passion will reflect in everything you do.
Graphgate Private Limited embodies these principles, and I
look forward to driving its continued growth and impact in both the tech and
wellness sectors.
