IT procurement and infrastructure management are broken for most growing businesses.
IT procurement and infrastructure management are broken for most growing businesses. PAVEIT is changing that, one company at a time. This is the story of two young founders who turned a short internship project into a company serving clients across India and beyond.
It all started with a simple connection on Internshala back in 2022. Bharath Goud and Amandeep Dutta were matched for a one-month project. Neither of them knew that this small opportunity would change their lives completely. They worked together, talked for hours, and realized something important. They both wanted to build something real. Something that would actually solve a problem businesses face every single day. That shared dream became PAVEIT.
The Problem Nobody Was Talking About
Imagine you are starting a new job at a fast-growing company. Your laptop has not arrived yet. Nobody set up your accounts. Your desk is not ready. Your first week is a mess before it even begins. Now multiply that experience across hundreds of employees in different cities. That is exactly the problem PAVEIT set out to solve.
Most companies, especially startups and global firms expanding into India, have no simple way to handle physical infrastructure. Buying laptops, setting them up, delivering them on time, tracking them, and collecting them back when employees leave is a full-time nightmare. Companies were wasting weeks of time and thousands of rupees trying to manage this on their own.
Bharath and Amandeep saw this problem up close while observing startups during their growth phases. Founders were spending precious time chasing vendors and managing logistics instead of building their actual business. That felt wrong to both of them. They believed infrastructure should be simple, fast, and completely reliable. So they built PAVEIT to make that belief a reality.
What PAVEIT Actually Does
PAVEIT handles the entire physical infrastructure layer for companies from start to finish. That means IT procurement, onboarding kits, imaging, provisioning, asset tracking, device delivery, and full lifecycle ownership. When an employee joins a company, PAVEIT makes sure everything is ready before day one. When that employee leaves, PAVEIT handles the return process too.
Beyond devices, PAVEIT also sets up entire offices for companies entering new markets. They work as a single vendor for fintech companies, SaaS businesses, payroll platforms, and Employer of Record ecosystems. Instead of juggling five different vendors for five different needs, companies work with just one trusted partner. That simplicity saves time, reduces confusion, and builds real accountability.
Today PAVEIT operates across more than one hundred cities in India. Their average delivery time is under five working days, no matter where in the country the client is based. That kind of speed and reach is difficult to build, and it took years of hard work to get there.
The People Behind the Mission
Bharath Goud is the Managing Director of PAVEIT. He studied engineering at NIT Warangal before earning his MBA from IIM Lucknow, one of the most respected business schools in India. Before starting PAVEIT, he worked with Rapido during its early growth stages, learning firsthand how startups scale product and customer experience. He also helped electric vehicle startups like Epic Bike figure out their fundraising strategy and how to enter the market. At PAVEIT, Bharath focuses on building global partnerships and expanding the company's reach into new countries.
Amandeep Dutta is the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of PAVEIT. His story is especially inspiring because he started building the company at just twenty-one years old. While most of his classmates were preparing for campus placements, Amandeep made a bold decision. He chose to skip placements entirely and bet on himself. He built PAVEIT's entire operational backbone from scratch, creating vendor networks across cities, managing client relationships, and driving revenue growth with very few resources. In 2024, his own college, IEM-UEM in Kolkata, honored him with an award for his startup achievements. He later returned to his college to hire interns, giving younger students the same kind of opportunity that once helped launch his own journey.
Building Something Real With Very Little
PAVEIT did not start with a big office, fancy funding, or a large team. The entire company was built by a core team of just six people. They were supported by motivated interns who helped scale operations city by city. Every new vendor relationship, every new delivery route, every new client onboarded was a small victory. Each one felt like placing another brick in the foundation of something much larger.
The early days were genuinely difficult. Building vendor networks across multiple cities required patience that most people would not have. Operations problems came up constantly and tested the founders every single day. There were no shortcuts and no easy answers. What kept them going was a shared belief that the problem they were solving was real and that businesses everywhere needed this solution.
That persistence paid off.
The Numbers Behind the Growth
In the financial year 2024 to 2025, PAVEIT reached a revenue of 4.1 crore rupees. That is a meaningful milestone for a company built by a small team without heavy outside investment. For the current year, the company is targeting 5.2 crore rupees in revenue as they expand their service offerings.
More importantly, PAVEIT has already crossed Indian borders. The company now serves clients in Singapore, the Philippines, and Dubai. That kind of international reach shows that the demand for smart IT infrastructure management is not limited to India. Growing companies everywhere face the same operational challenges, and PAVEIT is becoming the partner they can turn to.
What Makes PAVEIT Different
Most companies in this space handle one piece of the puzzle. One vendor manages procurement. Another handles delivery. A third manages asset tracking. Clients spend enormous time coordinating between all of them. PAVEIT eliminates that complexity entirely by owning the complete process from beginning to end.
This complete ownership model means clients always know who is responsible. There is no passing the blame between vendors. No gaps in the process. No confusion about who handles what. PAVEIT takes full ownership and delivers results, which is rare in this industry.
The Road Ahead
PAVEIT's future plans go beyond what they do today. The company aims to become a full Global Capability Center enabler. As more international companies set up operations in India, they need a partner who can handle not just devices but entire workforce infrastructure. PAVEIT plans to support payroll companies with candidate screening, reference checks, and end-to-end onboarding infrastructure management.
Technology and automation will play a bigger role as the company grows. Faster processes, smarter tracking systems, and deeper integrations with global HR platforms are all part of the vision. Expanding into more countries is also a long-term goal that both founders are actively working toward.
Lessons From the Journey
Bharath and Amandeep have learned a great deal building PAVEIT from the ground up. Persistence matters far more than having the perfect plan when you are just starting out. Strong vendor and client partnerships create the kind of trust that sustains a business through difficult periods. Listening closely to what customers actually need helps refine services in ways no internal brainstorm ever could.
Most of all, both founders believe that courage is the most important quality an entrepreneur can have. Taking difficult decisions without certainty is part of the job. Starting young, with limited resources and no guarantee of success, takes a special kind of bravery. Amandeep choosing to skip campus placements is a perfect example of that courage in action.
A Story Worth Telling
PAVEIT is still a young company in many ways. But the foundation they have built is solid, the problem they are solving is real, and the team behind it is driven by more than just profit. They want to make infrastructure invisible so that businesses can focus entirely on growth and innovation.
Two friends met through an internship platform looking for a one-month project. What they found was a business partner, a shared purpose, and the beginning of something that is quietly transforming how companies across India and the world manage their physical infrastructure.
That is the kind of story that reminds you that big things can absolutely start small.
