About the company

The Unusual story began in 2019 when a MBA graduate from one of the best B-School decided to start something of his own but was struggling to find people to join him as he didn’t have enough money to pay them. An ambitious guy fascinated with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning needed a team that could help him in coding. He tried the freelancer’s sites and got ditched twice. He needed someone who could bring his idea into reality. As the days passed, he found himself in a deadlock. A thought hit him that a lot of people would have been facing a similar situation.
