“From College Dreams to Rs 60 Lakhs Revenue: How Two 19-Year-Olds Built a Thriving Agency with Zero Investment”

In a world where most fresh graduates are busy polishing resumes and chasing job opportunities, two teenagers Sawad and Shaz chose to take a leap of faith. At just 19 years old, when many are still figuring out what career path to take, they decided to create their own. But it wasn’t just about building a future for themselves it was about opening doors for others their age too.

Rather than following the conventional route of internships and entry-level positions, the duo launched Zero Agency, a branding firm that would go on to become a symbol of youth-led innovation and entrepreneurship. What made their journey even more unique was the fact that they started from absolute scratch no funding, no fancy office, no network of clients just a shared vision, creative energy, and the courage to try.

Zero Agency began with zero investment. There were no investors backing them, no inherited wealth, and no business background to lean on. What they did have, however, was the drive to prove that ideas, when fueled by passion and effort, can shape something real. Working long hours, learning as they went, and constantly pushing their limits, Sawad and Shaz steadily built a brand that resonated with others.

Their agency quickly gained attention for its fresh approach and relatable voice. In an industry often dominated by older professionals and big-name firms, the youthful energy of Zero Agency stood out. Clients began to take notice, and slowly, the business grew. Today, the agency has a 14-member team every one of them from the same age group, reflecting the founders’ belief in giving young talent a platform to shine.

The company now generates an impressive annual revenue of around ₹60 lakhs. But their journey isn’t just about numbers it’s about rewriting the rulebook. In an environment that often equates success with age or years of experience, Sawad and Shaz have shown that neither is a requirement when you’re willing to learn, adapt, and lead with intent.

One of their proudest milestones came when they opened their first office a space entirely funded by the money they saved over just one year of operations. For many, an office is just a space, but for them, it was proof that their efforts were paying off, that their vision was being realized.

Beyond the business itself, what Sawad and Shaz have built is a culture. They’ve proven that young people can lead, create, and succeed. More importantly, they’ve become a source of inspiration for countless others who hesitate to pursue unconventional paths. They’ve shown that success doesn’t have to wait for the “right time” or the “right age.” Sometimes, it just takes the right mindset and the willingness to start even from zero.

Their story is a reminder that the path to success is not always linear. It’s not always about having the perfect plan or all the resources at your fingertips. It’s about taking that first step, believing in yourself, and staying committed, even when the odds seem stacked against you.

As Zero Agency continues to grow, so does the impact of their journey. Sawad and Shaz didn’t just build a company they sparked a movement. And for every young dreamer out there wondering if it’s too early or too risky to begin, their story offers a powerful answer: start anyway.
