MSLC
Co Founder
2009 - 2014
- I co-founded this company with the objective of building a platform for self-paced learning programs; The idea was exactly similar to what Udemy is today; I personally architected the platform and implemented architecturally significant components; We then hired a team and got the platform built; Again, the platform was built, but lack of experience in marketing backfired; Udemy came with a big bang and became supremely successful before we could launch our platform.
- The failure to market the platform taught me a lot; The major learning was : "The assumption that you build something and put it on the internet and people will simply come and use it : proved wrong"; Though I failed on the marketing front, I learnt a lot about product management.
- During this period, I kept doing architecture and consulting assignments in India and for some customers in Singapore and Malaysia; I did many performance tuning projects and many high-end trainings for some of the big corporates in India.
- I still do corporate training under this company on technologies like Spring Reactive, SpringBoot, Micro-Services, Reactive MicroServices, Domain Driven Design, Spring Cloud, Java, Java Performance & Concurrency, Mule ESB, Angular, Liferay - just to name a few.

TriumphSys
Principal Consultant
2004 - 2009
- "InfoMover Technologies forged a significant partnership with Triumpsys, a company specializing in banking sector projects. This collaboration ensured a steady annual income stream for our organization.
- In my capacity as Principal Consultant, I assumed a pivotal role within the company. The partnership presented an opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies, including the J2EE stack, Sun One Application Server, WebSphere, JBoss, JMS, WebLogic, Hibernate, Spring Framework, ExtJS, Adobe Flex, and more.
- Moreover, our collaboration opened doors to corporate training assignments from renowned companies such as Amdocs, Wipro, IBM, KPIT, Infosys, and other leading IT firms in India. Notably, we also provided training services to top banking institutions including Morgan Stanley, JPMC, HSBC, and Nomura (formerly Lehman Brothers). Beyond Java Stack, WebLogic, J2EE, Spring, and Hibernate, I conducted over 160 training programs encompassing Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD), Unified Modeling Language (UML), as well as business modeling and design patterns.
- During this tenure, I established a team of tech professionals at Triumpsys, contributing to the company's growth trajectory.
- It's worth mentioning that during the same period, I personally developed a platform tailored for trainers. This platform enabled the creation of training content, participant management, and facilitated access to training materials. While the platform was a technical success, it faced challenges in marketing—a common hurdle for developers turned entrepreneurs."

InfoMover Technologies
Founder
1995 - 2003
- My career journey began at NIIT, with subsequent roles at Aptech and BITS; Driven by a passion for software development, I ventured into freelance programming in 1996; During this period, I executed numerous projects for mid-sized companies, specializing in creating back-office systems for inventory, sales, purchase, and accounting tailored to SMEs.
- In 1999, a pivotal opportunity arose when I undertook a substantial project for PAE (Premier Auto Electric), a subsidiary of FIAT at the time; I single-handedly developed an end-to-end ERP with 11 integrated applications; This client-server architecture, built on PowerBuilder and SQL-Server, was completed in just 1 year and 3 months, while I worked on-site using their desktop computer; Initially met with skepticism, I vividly remember the sales president humorously dubbing my initial report as a 'toilet paper' ; However, with constructive feedback and unwavering support from the business team, the software became PAE's operational backbone—a career milestone.
- This transformative project marked a turning point in my career, imparting invaluable lessons in object-oriented design and a modular approach to software development; Buoyed by this experience, I founded InfoMover Technologies, assembling a dedicated team; This marked the beginning of numerous projects, including the development of sales and distribution systems for a prominent pharmaceutical company.
- From 2001 onwards, I embarked on mastering Java; Our inaugural Java project for Tata Housing initiated a series of short-term engagements in Java and J2EE with renowned organizations like Accenture, IBM, CGI, ATOS, Capgemini, 3i-Infotech, among others; We also undertook several assignments for Lambent Technologies, which was later acquired by Global Logic.
