Paregaon, Maharashtra July 2025 — What began as a personal vow after a car crash in Los Angeles in 2014 has now blossomed into a rural technology revolution. Raosaheb Ghuge, who once faced loan rejection because his farmer father had no salary slip, has returned to his village with a mission: to empower rural youth through tech.
In Paregaon, Ahilyanagar, Maharashtra Raosaheb founded The BAAP Company (Business Applications and Platforms) India’s first IT company built entirely in a village. Overcoming skepticism and infrastructure pain points, BAAP operates from rugged farmland yet delivers enterprise-grade software for global clients.
Empowering Rural Talent
Raosaheb prioritized agricultural families by training their children in coding and tech, enabling them to earn competitive pay without leaving home. Within a few years, over 600 students were trained, with more than 170 employed. BAAP intentionally hires from villages like Akole, Sangamner, and Sinnar to ensure rural India isn’t left behind.
Products Rooted in Purpose
The team builds SaaS tools like BAAP ERP for schools and BAAP CRM for local businesses, all from its Sangamner hub. They also offer IT staffing, AI solutions, e‑commerce, and automation services delivered from under the same sky as the fields they emerged from.
The company has served over 23 International and National clients, employing over 300 developers, all based in Maharashtra
A Movement More Than a Company
Ghuge’s story is rooted in empathy: a response to systemic exclusion and rural brain drain. By building an IT enterprise on home soil, he has created a new legacy one where innovation doesn’t require migration, and opportunity lives in place.
As India builds its next generation of tech ecosystems, The BAAP Company is a reminder: some of the most disruptive innovation starts under a tree in the heart of Bharat.
