The ultimate conclusion is somewhere around enriching society, building stellar products, being supportive as a leader and scale a business. Entrepreneurs are like waves of an ocean, something which can never be identical, yet has a powerful voice and shows the true meaning of life which is to be consistent. As creative and magnificent are the ocean waves are, entrepreneurs tend to explore their cognitive boundaries and come out with innovative and modern products that speak to their target audience. Business Outreach Magazine comes at a critical juncture where the editorial provides the slate for these visionaries to share their insights and experience. Through these personalized journeys, one thing that has become certain is that entrepreneurship is a discipline and Rizwan Shaikh also agrees hugely to that.
Rizwan Shaikh is the Founder and CEO of Malwas Axiom Buildtech, scaling the brand, KnockTheBuilder, which is an innovative and technology-driven platform providing a range of services in the architecture and design industry. This online platform is extremely comprehensive and built while understanding the needs of clients in the architecture and design space.
Not only does it come with personalized solutions specific to every project, but also include other services like customized 2D floor plans, 3D elevations, Vastu consultation, interior design, VR walkthroughs, and project management solutions. Most importantly KnockTheBuilder acknowledges and understands the pain points of getting premium, high-quality solutions in designing and architecture, where clients have to travel long distances to understand the package on-site. But with KnockTheBuilder’s platform, this can all be done remotely where clients get an immersive and revolutionary experience.
Traditionally, clients used to find it cumbersome to explore their options while choosing any design. Since the beginning of his career when he managed numerous government projects, gaining invaluable experience in large-scale planning, strict compliance, and meeting tight deadlines, Rizwan identified a major gap in the industry in regards to accessibility. KnockTheBuilder is a brilliant answer to the architecture and design industry where being local dependent is no more a compulsion for clients. With this inclusive platform, Rizwan basically opened the door to top-notch designing solutions for clients not only from metropolitan cities, but also extended the courtesy for clients in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
Looking back, Rizwan Shaikh gets emotional and reflects on his more than 12 years of industry presence with KnockTheBuilders. He started from the roots where architecture and design always garnered him a curiosity and a determination for further exploration. He created KnockTheBuilder on the pillars of compassion, collaboration and creativity. Here, the editorial raises its eyebrows when Rizwan shares the insight of consistency over creativity. Rizwan is very vocal about the fact that great creative ideas often knock” the mind door of entrepreneurs. But without consistency to work on those ideas, noting down feedback from the market and keeping on innovating, ideas are good as empty and might as well be kept under dust-ridden corners in the mind.
KnockTheBuilders has always scaled through the feedback of its diverse clientele. After completing more than 1,000 projects over a span of more than 12 years, they have clients from diverse backgrounds. Rizwan is proud of how far KnockTheBuilders has come based on the trust and transparency it has created in the design and architecture ecosystem. A few of the brand’s testimonials bring out the brilliance of Rizwan Shaikh’s leadership skills. Ravi Sharma from Noida, UP, says,
“Main honestly pehle thoda doubt mein tha… online kaise kaam karega, pata nahi. Lekin jab KnockTheBuilder ke team se baat hui, sab clear ho gaya. Inhone har cheez explain ki – plan, structure, interiors… aur sab online hi hua. Aur jab VR mein apna ghar dekha na, toh sach mein emotional ho gaya main. Jaise sapna pura hone wala ho.” Gaganpreet Singh, Real Estate Dealer, Amritsar said, “Main client ke liye sample villa banwana chahta tha, premium look ke sath. KnockTheBuilder ne itna impressive 3D aur interior diya ki client bina soche hi project le liya. Inka kaam detailing wala hai, aur sab kuch online aur time pe hota hai. Ab main regular unse kaam karwa raha hoo.” Siddharth Jain – IT Professional, Pune said, “Service kaafi smooth thi. Mujhe 2BHK ke liye house plan chahiye tha. Unhone time pe drawing bheji, changes bhi without issue kiye. VR walkthrough kaafi helpful tha dimensions samajhne ke liye. Overall, good experience.”
This is the product for Rizwan Shaikh, fostering trust in the entrepreneurship process. But there have been lots of challenges as well. A traditional industry based on face-to-face interaction questioned Rizwan’s way of growing a business digitally. To top that, building a solid team with skilled professionals has been a tedious task when looking into people who would believe in the united vision of KnockTheBuilder. But Rizwan leveraged on his communication skills and brought impeccable efficiency into the business model of KnockTheBuilder. In the following years, Rizwan is looking forward to painting the ecosystem of his brand, where Virtual Reality (VR), AI-driven planning and smart collaboration tools will define the true meaning of his leadership. Every planning and strategy aside, Rizwan Shaikh says, “Creative banna zaroori hai, lekin consistent rehna usse bhi zyada.”
