I’ve spent more than three decades building businesses, from design to manufacturing to services. I started my entrepreneurial journey at 23, long before computers or smartphones became part of daily work. I’ve done everything myself at some point: carrying samples, managing customers, handling accounts, supervising teams, and making strategic decisions that determined whether a business survived or grew.
Across every business I built, I kept running into the same two challenges:
Even as technology evolved, these two problems never really went away. Tools got fancier, but daily work still revolved around one thing – chat. Customers chat. Teams chat. Vendors chat. Projects progress through chat. And yet, none of that chat manages the work behind it.
For years, I felt this gap every single day.
As my businesses grew, I found myself juggling WhatsApp messages, emails, calls, PDFs, approvals, and follow-ups. Conversations were everywhere, but the work behind them was nowhere.
Nothing connected. Nothing organised itself.
Teams spent more time chasing updates than progressing work.
This is exactly the pain SME owners live with every day:
Their teams work across multiple chat apps and emails, yet none of those conversations turn into organised tasks or approvals.
Messages turn into follow-ups, follow-ups turn into stress, and projects start slipping.
I realised the world didn’t need another project management tool with complex screens and steep learning curves.
We needed a messaging app that quietly manages the work for us – automatically.
That thought never left me.
Over the years, I watched teams spread across cities, countries, and continents. Talent no longer sits in one office.
A designer in London, a contractor in Delhi, a supplier in Dubai, and a consultant in Sydney can easily work on the same project. That’s the new reality – beautiful, but chaotic.
Distributed teams rely entirely on messaging to stay connected. But messaging apps never manage the work behind the messages.
I experienced this deeply while running my own ventures. No matter how disciplined the team, work kept slipping between chats.
That’s when it became clear:
If the world now works through chat, then work should manage itself through chat too.
Arkchat is my answer to decades of experiencing the same frustration that SME owners everywhere face.
I built Arkchat for people like us, business owners who want:
I wanted a simple messaging app that does what no other chat app does:
turn everyday conversations into organised tasks, approvals, project updates, and even new business opportunities – automatically.
Because SMEs don’t have time to learn complicated tools.
They need something they can start using in minutes.
Everything in Arkchat follows a simple plan:
This is the experience I always wished I had:
Work that organises itself, teams that stay aligned, and business that moves without stress.
When chat becomes organised automatically, something powerful happens:
This isn’t just productivity.
It’s peace of mind.
If things continue as they are, conversations will stay scattered across apps, tasks will keep slipping, stress will keep rising, and teams will remain stuck in the same exhausting cycle.
I lived in that cycle for years.
Arkchat exists so that others don’t have to.
