About Us
Our Story
It was April 7, 2019. As a routine affair, three friends got together for a cup of coffee in the morning. Morning coffee stimulated them for a discussion on a new topic – competitiveness of Indian companies. The question in front of them was, despite having great talent, why many companies in India do not have a global footprint.
To help companies become more highly competitive and to help people become more holistic in their thinking, they decided to embark on a journey that would help companies not only enhance their global footprint but also help them in inventing and defining their future They decided to find solutions by working together with their clients; and Koinvent Business Solutions was born.
