About us
Varada Innovate is a Design Thinking-led startup focused on empowering Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) to grow smarter and faster. We work at the intersection of innovation, business strategy, and execution to solve real problems faced by founders and business owners globally.
Every business has a story, here’s Ours
Varada Innovate didn’t start in a boardroom. It started on the ground — inside real businesses, fixing real problems.
I’m Narayanan. Before launching this startup, I spent over 20 years working in the trenches — running operations, building teams, managing crises, and doing whatever it took to keep businesses moving forward. Not just from the top, but from the inside.
What I saw, time and again, was that most founders don’t lack ideas or effort. What they need is clarity, systems, and support — someone to help them turn the chaos into a rhythm.
So in 2021, I started Varada Innovate with one clear goal:
To help business owners run smarter, faster, and easier — without burning out.
We’re not a big agency. We’re a hands-on partner.
A small, sharp team of real operators who understand how businesses actually work — and more importantly, where they get stuck.
We’ve been quietly helping SMBs across India, the GCC, and beyond — especially founder-led businesses that want structure without slowing down.
And to make that support even more accessible, we created SprintBox —
a plug-and-play system that acts like a second brain for your business.
It’s not software for the sake of it. It’s a way to simplify ops, delegate better, and stay in control — without needing a dozen tools or a full-time manager.
This isn’t about fancy presentations or big promises.
It’s about making things work — practically, consistently, and with purpose.
Welcome to Varada Innovate.
Let’s build a better business, together.
Here's how we help:
Innovation-as-a-Service (IAAS)
We bring design thinking to your real-world business problems — helping you rethink what’s possible and redesign how your business works, without slowing you down.
Profit Centre Management (PCM)
We help you turn every department or unit into a focused engine of results — so you stop carrying the weight alone, and your team starts pulling in the same direction.
Interim Leadership (IM)
We step in where clarity and direction are missing — helping you lead through change, stabilise operations, or move faster without hiring full-time leadership.
Beyond Advice
We don’t do theory.
We don’t leave you with reports.
We work with you, inside your business, solving what matters — and building what’s next.
Because what you’ve built deserves more.
