April 2025 – New York, USA – What started with a $400 gamble on a Saturday night has now evolved into a global, battle-tested consultancy network. Founded by Sri Lankan-born entrepreneur Sabreen Rezvie, Drifting Desk LLC is no ordinary offshore operation—it’s a curated guild of elite contractors, stitched together through grit, loyalty, and an almost absurd commitment to finding the best remote talent the world quietly produces.

"I had $400 in my account from a small job. That night, I could either pay my bills… or register my LLC through a startup incorporation system I found. It was 8 PM, and I thought, screw it—I'll pay the bill next month. I’d been dreaming of a US-based company with Stripe, banking and everything set up right. One click, and I was in,” said Sabreen Rezvie, founder and principal consultant at Drifting Desk. That leap of faith in 2019—just before the COVID wave hit—marked the beginning of Sabreen’s consultancy journey. What started as a solo venture soon turned into something much bigger. Along the way, he was joined by a network of contractors and old allies—including a friend he met 18 years ago in an online MMORPG called Cabal Online.

“We used to run a 100-member guild. Raids, strategies, the whole thing,” Sabreen recalls. “We drifted apart, but when we reconnected, it clicked—we could build something together. Something real.” His friend, Paul—brought not only his own expertise into the mix but a shared code of trust. “He is not a co-founder. He is my brother. The kind of people you’d take into battle. And now we’re building something that’s part strategy firm, part elite squad.” The Problem They Solve At the heart of Drifting Desk is a brutal question: why can’t great companies find great talent? “We’re not in the volume game. We find the 1% of the 1% in places like Sri Lanka—people who might not look the part, might not speak up on calls, but once trained and trusted? They deliver better than anyone you’d hire locally,” Sabreen said. 

From shy first-timers to seasoned engineers, the talent that stays with Drifting Desk is put through fire. Moonlighters are out. The ones who stay? They learn, adapt, and thrive in high-pressure, high-context environments. US and Middle Eastern startups now rely on these remote teams not as cheap labor—but as full-time, fully accountable contributors who own what they do. 

Take Aruna, a Sri Lankan tech lead who’s been with the team for over three years: “At Drifting Desk, you’re expected to learn fast, work smart, and carry your own weight. But you also get real mentorship and exposure. I’ve worked with CTOs with decades of experience. You just don’t get that in most local firms.” What Clients Get— A startup in the US or Australia paying $60K for a fresh grad can instead get a three-person team of skilled engineers, trained and matched by Drifting Desk, within the same six-month budget. These aren’t freelancers—they’re embedded, accountable and hungry. 

“We’re not cheap. We’re affordable. And we deliver,” Sabreen said. “You’ll get a team that understands sarcasm, project pivots, startup chaos—and still ships on time.” Today, Drifting Desk LLC has delivery partners across the US, Middle East, and Southeast Asia, with a growing base of hand-picked, high-performing remote professionals from Kenya, Sri Lanka, and beyond. The operation remains lean, and founder led. But the impact? Anything but small.
