Summary

After graduating from one of the best universities, I joined India's leading services company Infosys and offered my services for more than a year. Later, I joined my friend in co-founding the venture Spinaxys. Though my primary interest lied in the networking domain at the time of quitting Inofsys, I knew that starting a venture would pose a different kind of challenge and an altogether different learning experience. My major role was to look into the day-to-day operations of the firm. Later, I moved on and joined Synovel Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd., a startup in the collaboration domain to work in my areas of technical interest. Currently I head the development of their collaboration server.
