Meet Sachien Ravi

We were lucky to catch up with Sachien Ravi recently and have shared our conversation below.

Sachien, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?

I believe my work ethic stems from a combination of influences. Growing up, I had role models who demonstrated the value of hard work and perseverance, whether it was family members, friends, or even public figures I admired. Personal experiences have also played a big role—overcoming challenges taught me the importance of resilience and consistency. Beyond that, having a clear vision of my goals keeps me motivated. I always remind myself that the effort I put in today builds the foundation for the future I want. It’s not just about talent; it’s about showing up, doing the work, and staying committed even when it’s tough.

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

Towards the beginning of Sophomore year at Imagine International Academy of North Texas, my partner Gavin and I decided to learn more about Web Design as a part of our “personal project,” a project that lasts the entirety of the Sophomore year and focuses anything that students may be interested or passionate about and make a difference in the community. To learn Web Design, we went through many online courses and did many practice projects until each of us were ready to begin our final projects. I chose to make a Skin-Gut Health connection blog that focused on the impacts of your guy health and the impacts it has on your skin whilst Gavin created a website for his Dad’s opening coffee shop, Country Charm Coffee.

We both learned a lot about website design through this project and decided to continue this passion outside of school. We realized we enjoyed the process and results that we were both able to achieve. With this, we also thought that by doing websites we could make our own jobs for ourselves and most likely even make more than the available jobs. After some initial struggle, Gavin discovered his barber’s poor experiences with his previous web designer which lead to us partnering with our first official client. We worked tirelessly to get it right and it showed as he was extremely satisfied and referred us to multiple customers of his. Through these referrals and the referrals from these referrals, we grew our initial idea to a baby company.

As we grew, we also began adding more services upon request from our clients. This began with Search Engine Optimization, and later Social Media Marketing. With the addition of these new services/departments, we quickly realized we were going to need employees to help us consistently provide a quality service to our clients and oncoming clients at the time. We realized the best candidates were our friends who were already interested in what we were doing and had shown intrigue and initiative into learning the skills and getting to work. With this, we began our interning process to see who would be best, this ended up being teaching and testing six friends, ending up with three hired employees.

Going into business, we knew at some point we wanted to niche down. After the additional manpower, training, and the success of our new services, we decided it was time to niche down and rebrand the company. After careful consideration, research, and interviewing local digital solutions experts, we decided that Solar would be our niche. This took us to today, where we now work with multiple solar companies to help redesign their websites, increase their Google search rankings, and drive sales with social media marketing.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

The first quality I’d highlight is resilience. Life and work are filled with setbacks, and the ability to bounce back, learn from failure, and keep moving forward has been invaluable. For those starting out, I’d recommend building resilience by embracing challenges and viewing setbacks as opportunities to grow rather than as final defeats. Journaling about lessons learned or seeking out feedback can help strengthen this mindset.

The second is adaptability. Things rarely go exactly as planned, and the ability to pivot, learn new skills, or change your approach has been critical. My advice is to stay curious and open-minded. Take on projects outside your comfort zone and get comfortable with being uncomfortable—it’s where the most growth happens.

Lastly, strong communication skills have been a game-changer. Whether it’s presenting ideas, building relationships, or resolving conflicts, communication is at the heart of everything. To improve in this area, practice active listening and seek out opportunities to speak, write, or collaborate.

Ultimately, these three areas—resilience, adaptability, and communication—can serve as a powerful foundation for anyone starting their journey.

How would you spend the next decade if you somehow knew that it was your last?

One of the biggest challenges I’m currently facing is obtaining new clients. The market is competitive, and standing out in a sea of options takes consistent effort and creativity. It’s not just about showcasing the value of what I offer but also about building trust with potential clients who may already feel overwhelmed with choices.

What makes it particularly difficult is that people often stick with what’s familiar, even if a better solution is available. Breaking through that resistance requires persistence, innovative marketing strategies, and a personal touch in building relationships.

I’ve been focusing on refining my approach—whether it’s through clearer communication, leveraging testimonials, or improving how I explain the benefits of my services. It’s a learning process, and while it’s frustrating at times, it’s also motivating to find new ways to connect with people and show them why I’m the right choice for their needs
