Brdge is an emerging technology and AI consultancy combined with a venture studio, founded in 2024 by Saachin Bhatt (one of Accenture's youngest consultants globally), Akshay Ruparelia (Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe, former CEO of Doorsteps), and Afzaal Mauthoor (serial exited entrepreneur and digital transformation expert). In less than a year, Brdge has rapidly emerged as one of the hottest new players in the global technology consulting landscape with offices in the UK, Dubai, and Saudi Arabia. The organization exists to 'brdge the gap' between SMEs and the opportunities enabled by emerging technologies like AI and blockchain, which until now has been dominated by large corporates, aggressive VCs, and Silicon Valley. Brdge offers a unique services-for-equity model where they become a fractional tech team, taking equity instead of high fees to cut build costs for startups. The company provides comprehensive support from ideation to product launch and scale, combining best-in-class consulting, engineering, and business operations expertise with a team of successful entrepreneurs who have previously exited their own ventures. With over 50 products launched and taken to market, Brdge democratizes access to emerging technologies, turning them into practical, powerful tools for startups, scaleups, and SMEs across EMEA.
