About Us

We are a Platform Company

The Background Story

Sovablu (formerly known as SOVA) is the brainchild of Cheran and Nata, two seasoned entrepreneurs who, over a period of more than 2 decades, have built and nurtured tremendously successful technology companies in India and Japan.

During this time, Nata and Cheran have been at the helm of extremely scalable, sustainable and high-performance teams, which has distinguished them not just as visionary leaders, but also as the most reliable partners for global companies looking for long-term business growth.

Henry Ford once said – “Whether you think you can, or think you cannot – you’re right.” All of us who have been part of the Sovablu journey from day zero, didn’t just THINK that “we can”… we firmly BELIEVED that “we can” and “we will”.

It all began with an idea, a dream and the driving enthusiasm of our two founders who had a very clear awareness of what our customers really needed. With every passing day, our team keeps building on this awareness and evolving it into something really extraordinary… something we are all extremely proud of… something that will be a game-changer for our customers. Sovablu is our way to revolutionize the future of software development.
