Akash Sharma: Building Zruri Hai from a Simple Household Problem to a Trusted Service Platform

Every start-up goes through the process of creation; however, not every start-up begins as the founders would like.

The founder of Zruri Hai, Akash Sharma, did not start his company with a big office; he wasn’t backed by huge investments from investors either. He simply wanted to solve a problem many Indian families are experiencing every day in their homes.

One day, Akash's cook took an unexpected leave, which caused scheduling disruptions, stress, and complaints around the house. Mad efforts were put in to find a replacement cook at the last minute. It frustrated Akash to the point that he wondered:

Why is there no on-demand solution for such a common household issue?

This question became the foundation of the concept behind Zruri Hai.

The idea was there but implementation was not easy.

Due to a lack of funding and limited resources, he bootstrapped the business while speaking to households all over Kolkata to learn more about their challenges. Akash met with cooks and helped their services to meet household needs.

He created and manually developed the initial vendor base with cooks and domestic workers available for booking purposes. He was involved in every single booking, call from customers and operational issues.

Throughout this journey there were moments of doubt, and at times growth looked limited. But, there was one thing that he could always count on - the belief in problem-solving.

Akash discovered that Zruri Hai didn’t just provide cooks or maids; it also helped families restore peace at home through reliability when things went wrong.

As time passed, validation came.

Customers began to book services through the platform; repeat customers increased. Referrals came through word-of-mouth. Families had peace of mind having an alternate solution available. Vendors began trusting Zruri Hai as a reliable platform. The model provided evidence of real consumer demand.

Beginning with just very few resources, Zruri Hai established its base with a strong commitment to operational discipline with customer satisfaction as the priority. There was no noise, no cutting of corners, just execution on repeat.

As it continues to grow, Zruri Hai is on its way to become the definitive on-demand household support platform.

The vision is clear: to create India's most reputable household support network.

From the initial disruption to the kitchen to a scalable solution for urban India, its journey has been one of resilience, clarity, and dedication to the founder’s core values.

Akash Sharma's story illustrates that many successful businesses come from common, even everyday, frustrations.

Zruri Hai is not just another service; it is an absolute necessity!
