From News to No-Code: Azhar Iqubal’s Bold New Bet on the Future of App Building

After reshaping how India consumes news through Inshorts, Azhar Iqubal is back with a new mission; this time, to make tech building as easy as telling a story.

His latest venture, Fenado, is an AI-powered no-code platform designed to empower entrepreneurs and small businesses to bring their digital ideas to life- without writing a single line of code or hiring a tech team. The message is clear: if you’ve got an idea, Fenado wants to help you build it, fast.

What’s equally telling is where Azhar chose to build it. Rather than going for a glass-tower HQ, he’s launched Fenado from a coworking hub, Ofis Square’s Noida facility, known for its startup-friendly vibe and premium workspace design. This isn't just a real estate decision; it's a nod to the changing DNA of startups today: agile, community-driven, and built to scale lean.

With the no-code movement gaining momentum globally, Fenado enters at just the right time. It speaks directly to a new generation of non-technical founders in India; dreamers, creators, solopreneurs - who are looking for smart tools to launch without the overhead of a full tech team.

This is more than just another SaaS play. It’s a signal that the future of product development may not require code at all—just clarity of vision and tools like Fenado to execute.

For investors and early-stage builders, this is one to watch. Because if anyone knows how to simplify complex problems and deliver them at scale, it’s the man who made a million people read the news in 60 words.

The next wave of Indian tech might just be built without code - are you ready for it?
