Azhar Iqubal, cofounder and chairman of news aggregator platform Inshorts, has launched Fenado AI, a platform that allows users to create apps and websites without any coding skills.

Fenado AI, which was previously called Cades AI in beta phase, was cofounded with Manish Singh Bisht, former head of technology at Inshorts. The platform is eyeing to simplify the process of building digital tools for startups, small businesses, and larger organisations.

Fenado AI provides a chat-based interface where users can share their business requirements and design preferences. The platform then generates fully functional apps or websites tailored to their needs, eliminating the reliance on coding expertise or expensive tech teams.

The platform already had over 200 paying customers from the US, Europe, and India during its beta phase. Now it plans to onboard more than 10,000 startups globally by 2025, offering scalability, reliability, and continuous support.

“With Fenado AI, we want to make high-quality digital tools accessible to everyone, especially startups that often face challenges in finding affordable and skilled tech talent,” said Bisht.

Notably, the app charges users $180 (approximately INR 15,000) per month for its services. Designed for global users, the platform anticipates that the majority of its customers will come from outside India.

Iqubal explained that the platform is positioned as a cost-effective alternative for startups seeking tech solutions. “For instance, if a founder is paying around INR 1 Cr in salaries for a tech team, the same work can now be accomplished by our platform for just $180 per month,” he said.

The company’s global focus is reflected in its beta phase results, where it claims that 95% of users were from outside India. This international appeal might be the reason why the company is headquartered in Delaware, USA.

Looking ahead, the startup is preparing to raise a funding round. While Iqubal declined to share specifics, he hinted that the round would exceed $2 Mn.
