Okay, So I was, um, like, I come from a suburb back in India and then kind of started in a missionary school, followed by did my bachelor's and electron ICS and then subsequently did my masters in, um, systems. Right on. That's how I kind of started my career. 20 years ago, it was attack like this, or even, probably worse when it comes to a technology carrier that you could think off. And then we started working towards, um, looking at an opportunity, uh, potentially help us, um, shaping our carrier. I mean, we didn't know exactly what we could do at that point of time. Kind of lost a toe that time because dot com bust happen on, But there's very little opportunities back there in the country. But then something that was always going through my mind is like, you know, anything that I would like to do? I do not want to compromise with the quality of the work, right. So I had certain set of goals in my life, and I said that You know what? Let me just make sure that I stay focused on that, and I don't know how it came where it came from. But then eventually there was a bit of a passion in terms off the specific work that I wanted to do, right? So when I fresh out from college, I had a job to work as a I T manager in a pretty I think I'm a national banking from on on the other side. I had an opportunity to work for a little bit smaller organization where it's more off like a cutting edge technologies. And of course, the pay is also a little bit less. But I've gone with the letter, one thinking that that could potentially give me in a foundation Onda satisfaction rather than what I'm trying to do, right, Andi, As a result, you know this describes is didn't last long enough. But then after we got through this phase, I got very interesting opportunities because of the nature of technology and Onda are Indian innovation that I had worked on, and that kind of gave my path words what I'm able to do even today, right? So first I would say first 5 to 8 years, um, you know, I had a sort of an opportunity which was very promising very challenging. Andi also got a very good mentorship because I was with IBM Software Group and worked in a very niche group who kind of worked on the emerging technology side off it s o. I was lucky enough to be part of the group and that kind of shit, my, uh, managerial leadership skills and the technology skills quite a bit on, probably that has given a foundation which could help me to excel towards what I wanted to do. And even today when I look at myself, I always want to make sure that things that really, uh, you know, excites me, that that really gives me a purpose to start my next day It's something which is driving me, and no matter whatever difficulty we go through on off course, I had gone to enough like being a first generation immigrant to have a job here. I didn't come with a student on, then followed by that starting my own organization. That's kind of driving my own vision that I thought throughout my, you know, professional carrier. But then I had never compromised with what I really wanted to do in my life, right? So that that was I would say, in a nutshell, is the most critical part off what I am today at this point of time, okay?

Yeah, sure. So I actually the good part off it is basically in in my journey in us. So Okay, so I started my, um, carrier with, as I said, multinational company. Then I worked with IBM, and then, uh, a spark off IBM. I travel almost like eight countries because it was a technology win that we're building from the scratch. Right? And it was part off IBM research and IBM Software group kind of grouped together to build something in the rare Liss technology space. So it was quite amazing journey. And then when we actually, when I I came here in this country back in 2000 34 time frame, uh, 2004, I would say. And then followed by that I travel almost like, almost like eight countries on Dwork with different, you know, clients off IBM. And when I came here, I was not really working as a consultant, So I was kind of working pretty much like part off a mainstream tech team right on. But, uh, then I worked with Carla for a few years on, but then I went back again. Incorporate so reproach. I was managing ah, practice globally uh, in the emerging technology space. And then after, Like I said, two years I started my own company. Now, the reason I gave you the background like my journey as a consultant, was not like that. I would say that long enough, but mostly work this part of the mainstream organizations and then start up that that has kind of given me sort of a flavor off two sides off the week. Right? So one is a what it takes in us to work for a multinational company and other side. You know what it takes for someone to be kind of a leader architect on a technology leader in a startup organization. So with that said, when I switched over from my journey with a week pro wearing, you know, I had a lot of people recording to me, You know, uh, my organization, you know, direct with direct indirect reports is only 1200. You know, practitioners across the globe, and then when you're starting off your own with which is quite exciting, you have a great vision. You have. You also live with a different level off your sense of accomplishment. It's not accomplishment a sense of accomplishment. And then you start, uh, you know the journey. You are kind of quite bullish towards. What do you wanna get achieved in the next year or two? Right. And, of course, someone like me who didn't really start with a significant amount of seed capital investment right on also, this'll was not a kind of services job because we had to build a product. So the workload had increased significantly. Right? And then all of a sudden, uh, you know, while you had people around you who could potentially get certain things done for you to make sure that my targets are met in an organization in terms off the my business goals as well as my personal development goals. Uh, but it as in a startup, I mean, you're like a soldier who has to use their own armor on Make sure that you win the battle, right? So the the interesting part of its of workload had increased significantly. It is a kind of a significant shift from the nature off profession I had versus what I wanted to do. Of course, even though my research, my cat increase searches more on the leadership in management's died, but then I didn't leave my passion towards technology s o. I used to remain, uh, friends or, I mean, at some point of time, I think I was probably one off, I would say hundreds of directors and Wilco who could literally write code so eso when? But that wasn't not in need. But now, when I started my own, I had to make sure the product that I'm building is up to that level off. You know? I mean, it is up to the satisfaction that this is going to really make a difference that I'm trying to, you know, delivered to the market right on DMA. Make that significant contribution to the market, right, understand the gaps and then bring in the value proposition. So that's the type off. It's a sudden shift towards the nature of the work Aan den. Of course, uh, some of my colleagues, uh, in Wipro and then at that point of time or any other organizations said okay, you all of a suddenly like left a very comfortable position started off your own on. And what is your difference? Like what? What do you really feel different? S and that. You know, one thing that I could I could feel differently is that at this point of time, I don't have anyone to blame for anything that I Anything goes wrong with me, right? So be it. Success. It's mine failure. I have digested. But because when you work in a larger organization, when something goes wrong, then you have a lot of people around. You know, those benefit is where you could find somebody might have made a mistake, or you might delegate this responsibility to someone and someone could not perform. So you have a lot of people. But then now, when you're starting off your own on bond trying to build something significant, it is very difficult to find somebody else. I mean, if you if you are successful issue if you fell again, it's completely on you. Right? So that was a sort off, you know, feels that I have gone toe first. I would say a year, year and a half, I can tell you

Well, that's an interesting questions. And we have a lot of stuff, right? So my parent is the pattern that we got is basically on the cognitive computing side. So we're in. We merged the high performance computing with the with the Cognitive Analytics, right? That's what we do. So my background was more on the, um, distributed computing side. I mean, I worked significantly and contributed quite a bit in the area off service oriented architectures like that's kind off mainstream in in the last decade. I would say Right. So how we basically build middle wears and platforms? Andi, the core technology that I had used his basically c plus plus and java, right. Also spend a bit of time on the embedded side offic. So the work was basically, you know, Yeah, an interesting focus I had because we I started with distributed computing and then distributed computing with Microsoft Technologies. And then slowly I got myself involved with the embedded systems right on Bond Jawa and J two Emmy on that With that, we when we started with a very interesting technology at that time, which French out off mighty labs called um r f I D did you witness identification? I don't know if you guys So it's basically now the wear lis network and wireless devices sending significant amount of data back into the enterprise. So So my full focus initially waas building a technology which is efficient enough work in armed processor type of an environment using java. And then once we could realize certain level of excellence with that, that's a kind of a research way. Wanna figure out how we're gonna deal with that massive amount of data? So these bids you have what can go to our interesting stuff with big data and high performance distributed nodes and cloud computing. I mean, we didn't have those type of, you know, tools and technologies at that time, but then those any history on innovation that we have built at that time has become the foundation for what you see today. Okay, so we were more mostly working on in memory computing, building a messaging, little better and service oriented architecture, and so on before so, giving that as a foundation with our work right now in radial systems is again in I o T systems. So we're trying to basically decentralizing the compute and intelligence from a centralized computing infrastructure, tomb or decentralized note. But these nodes are able to actually do a peer to peer, uh, interactions to, uh, kind of increase their their knowledge level over time. So that's where the cognition comes in. So we actually simulated. We didn't say that. You know, we're gonna build another algorithm that can literally make the IOC system performed better in terms off real time processing. But we actually simulated the human animal anatomy ical infrastructure to say that how the peripheral nervous system is gaining that intelligence and acting faster. It's basically a coordination of different nervous system units actually making a human a better human than than a typical machine. Right, So So our knowledge is still heavily dependent on Java. We also use big data and advanced analytics. We do a lot of mission learning and deployment stuff and that a lot off community build embedded, learn, you know, intelligence embedded analytics type often foundation. Right. So our preference always had bean, uh, you know, make it a little bit more technology and not Java, a za foundation that I personally worked and very comfortable with, and it has a platform independent, so we can literally have an little point of time as we speak. We're trying to see that how we could literally have something which is running to server like an agent can be bought into, um, you know, the age notes. Because the age nodes are also evolving. Hardware's a revolving. So at some point of time, it would be agnostic off, depending off the hardware, and and then the specific network divides on which this particular operation is running s so that we could potentially make that switch and bringing that interoperability across different systems, you know, involved in a nightie environment.
