Farmer's son starts ₹1.5 crore software company from village

Eswaran Arumugam, a resident of a small village in Tamil Nadu, has built a successful software business while staying in his village through hard work and determination. According to a report by The Economic Times, Eswaran founded his software company 'Yaa Creations', which has undertaken projects worth ₹1.5 crore in the year 2025. Behind this success lies a long saga of struggle and a willingness to take risks.

Eswaran Arumugam was previously working in the IT sector in Chennai. He built his career there for 9 consecutive years, but subsequently took the major decision to leave this stable job. His objective was to do something new while staying in his native village. This venture began with very limited resources. He borrowed ₹1 lakh from his brother and started the business with the support of just two laptops.

However, this journey was not easy. In the initial stages of the business, he faced numerous financial difficulties. Along with the financial crisis, the disruptions caused during the Covid-19 pandemic had a deep impact on his operations. There was a time when he was submerged in debt of ₹5 lakh. Despite such a large financial crisis and challenges, Eswaran did not give up and gradually continued to expand his business.

Referring to a report by YourStory, The Economic Times states that today his company 'Yaa Creations' has made significant progress. The company is currently operating in Rasipuram, Namakkal district of Tamil Nadu. The company, which started with just two laptops, now employs 26 employees. It is particularly noteworthy that despite being based in a village, his reach is global. Currently, his company's clients are spread across 7 different countries in the world.

Looking at the figures for the year 2025, his company has completed or worked on projects worth ₹1.5 crore. The achievement of a farmer's son, who sacrificed luxurious city offices and large corporate facilities to achieve such success while living in a village environment, is inspiring for other young entrepreneurs.

Eswaran's journey demonstrates that if one has the right skills and patience, geographical limitations cannot become obstacles in the path of success. By overcoming the initial borrowed amount and the difficulties of debt, he has today established a software firm. Reaching customers in seven countries from a small place like Rasipuram is the result of his technical capability and business acumen.

Thus, this journey from leaving a 9-year job in Chennai to a turnover of ₹1.5 crore is a saga of struggle, failure, and ultimately, grand success. His company is no longer just a local unit but has created its identity at an international level.
