How was InVideo Started

A personal problem faced by the founding team has led them to establish InVideo. Back in 2012, the founding team were working on creating 10-minute video summaries of non-fiction books. The process of video production was a major hurdle for them back then as it consumed a lot of time.

The team started looking for alternate solutions and realized that there are only two kinds of video creation tools:

  1. That allows the user to create a very basic video (which is worse than a presentation).
  2. Or one that will require a trained video editor to create a video.

While the simple video creating platforms have minimal scope for creativity and customization, the advanced versions are too complicated for a normal person to create high-quality, innovative videos. Identifying such a gap and personally experiencing the absence of a platform that caters to the needs of an ordinary individual who wants to create innovative high-end videos; Sanket Shah, Pankit Chedda, and Harsh Vakharia have put in collective effort to create the InVideo company.

When we researched, there were only simple video editors and complex ones; it did not work that way. So we did it! We ended up sitting beside a customer, observing them what we did - says Sanket, InVideo CEO

Before launching InVideo, the team studied the customers' needs extensively through primary research. They reached out to large news channels and eventually validated the idea. Further, they built a basic engine to get a direct response from the customers before launching on a full scale.

The company deals in Video making, and hence the name 'InVideo'

If there's any piece of content, our goal is to help people transform that content into great videos. So it's like your content in the video. Thus the name 'InVideo.' - Sanket on explaining the thought behind the name.
