eso. The story starts in the late eighties. Early nineties. I'm mechanical engineering, undergraduate on board, but I was not actually satisfied with what I did. I mean, I just went with the walls in, got good grades in my high school, went to engineering all my friends went toe that stream. So which is why I actually chose that. So it was not any conscious decision to go to that particular stream later. I started actually realizing this inquisitiveness and software was new at that time, right? So I started doing on my own. Actually, some of the software courses on guard started learning, and that generated tremendous interest. Right? And which is how we got into software. Internet came along in, actually, 95. You. So I got interested in weight software design, and I always had this in my back of my mind that I want to start my own company, right? Right from where I graduated from my college eso. In order to do that, I wanted toe brought on my heel, and which is why I did my MBA after that, uh, toe understand more from the business side of financial side, the marketing side and then I I focused on a career path called a software architect. So it gives you the overview off the business and technology go to fight on, which is how I shaped my career, change various jobs. And then I started my company when I got to a stage where I felt confident that I can take the world on my own on, which is when I started in a picture, which is my consulting company in 2008. Then I launched based on my field, which I'm actually primarily architecture in the financial services payment banking field. So, uh, selecting that field, I started a couple of the company's. Actually, in 2014 I started seeing pics, which is a payment company, which it's, ah payment platform on the brain region, which is the forex trading platform. Uh, those two companies also I I launched. So I think with the focus on where where I wanted to be in my life, Andi, think incremental steps towards that consciously actually helping

Yeah. I mean, even though I started in the victor in 2008 it waas in the making for a few years. I mean, since 6 4007. I started building towards that. Remember? I mean, wherever you are in which you're filled, you are the most important thing in your life. Is your relationships right? So the business is not goingto happen like overnight. It's not going to be stuff. So I work towards that. Right? So while I was employed, I started working towards that. Like you say. I mean, do experimentations, right. So do the experimentations on the side. Make sure that you get the comfortable. You could feel within yourself that you are comfortable in what you're doing. So I started working towards that, and by the time I region, by the time I made the switch on that day, everything was dead, right? So I had the contract signed with a couple of my customers. I knew exactly what I'm going to get into. So it was a pretty smooth experience. I mean, everything was built towards it on the initial few weeks, was very much blind as what I had done the the research and what? What I had worked towards eso It was a pretty smooth transition. So knows no kind off. Actually. Surprises in the initial few few weeks on the challenges obviously were there in the prior to I made the switch, right? I mean, multiple challenges. I mean, you are you come to know that? I mean, how small you are in the world when you injure outside. I was a president with enforces Pretty. I mean Global company. Pretty cushy job. Multiple teams have tried disposable, but But I think the comfort feeling was what was actually bothering me, and I actually wanted to go outside off comparison. Then you start to realize, I mean, how many things you don't know or how many things you are toe achieve when you're on your own. But I mean in every every case, right? I mean, just signing a business contract, convincing the various stakeholders itself all very challenging the second aspect waas that once I had that the bandwidth waas I knew that my resource on my time but it is going to be an issue. But I think I underestimated that because I was a consultant. So I had to work full time consultant with my clients on. Then I had to start growing my company all. So I took a boarding rules and which took away my some actually bandwidth. But no, no complaints. I mean it Waas very grilling at the beginning, but it helped me lay the right foundation.

that. That's a very broad question. We are a technology and management consulting company on there is a variety off tools my my consultants use. I mean, we're based in us, were based in Japan, were based in India, were based in Singapore. Uh, I mean, you can imagine almost everything in the world, right? I mean, all strategic transformation programs, which we run. So we are doing our digital transformation off a large, uh, bank in the U. S. Uh, we're using all the I would say that technologies which are available today We are building a I am ill algorithms for pharmaceutical industries in actually Japan s O. I mean, it's a very broad question. I mean, almost everything you can see on the world. I mean, I would say that 60 70% off that we be used at work because our clients are also like, diverse, right? We have clients in the insurance sector where we use different technologies. When when we work with the bank, there are actually different technologies. When we work in the pharmaceutical industry, we are using different technologies. We're working with a client in the gaming industry in Germany. That's a different platformI mean, I will just take the digital transformation of the bank. Right. So what are what are the technologies in world, right? I mean, if you look at the broad platforms off banking confirmation on banking technology, you talk about customer acquisition where customers go and apply to open an account. Right? So obviously all the contained related you are you x like angular react. Uh, those are what we use in the middle where I mean, obviously we build the A. P. S using either No, our job are sometimes were used, actually go long and complain also in the back end based on the various platforms that beta basis actually very from post Greece. Uh, would be, uh uh then the integration some in various integrations we use actually standards. So nowadays there is a funny open banking standard which is catching up so that customers can data. There is a standard interoperability between the companies. So we are actually adopting Fbx, which is upcoming standard here in the US Eso We have opted that also in that and obviously bring banking. There are more people off the shelf tools, including the poor banking platform. So we use a large going on in that calm render, which provides the core banking software on Ben. The risks can fraud Jakes and all multiple tools, the instant account actually verification. There is something a new warning system which actually gives that, except they put off custom software development, plus off the shelf tunes, I believe it in the market.

I mean the profile. We we go after the strategic partnership on our market. We're focusing on large clients, which gives us a good, uh, stability in the long term. We don't go after one off projects. I mean, I I cannot tell you the names, but one off them is a Fortune 500 financial Services credit card banking company in the US one of them the largest insurance broker in the world. Another one is a lender in the subprime area, and these are all multibillion dollar companies which we partner with to provide the strategy consulting the projects are usually the very between eso I divide my, uh, service offering into three areas. When is consulting Second is technology and thirties research. So under confronting, we provide the i T. Strategy that would make development, uh, evaluating winders and products for our customers Program management. These are the typical services we offer under consulting under technology were involved in the product development or a custom application development. We're in right from, uh, doing the product definition. Like what we call the product owner room in the age old world to launch. I mean all the rules I mean the entire project is what we handled, uh, in major technology area and in research. We help our customers adopt a particular technology. So, for example, like, what is Blockchain and will Blockchain help us? Right. So then we do a cursory servant on what's happening in the industry, what's happening specifically within that client context, and then do, like, a proof of concept to evaluate the visibility and then provide a roadmap with that client. And those are the areas. Those are kind of what we're doing. What we call mostly the applied research area the skills required. I mean, obviously you can see consulting is a very different skill set where you need a consultant really an expert in that field who has spent some time experience in that toe. Bring on the value right from day one to our customers, right? And whichever feel you you talk. I mean, like you talk about let's say that insurance, political transformation so that the person needs to have the business domain knowledge and also, at a high level, the technologies which are going to be used in in that particular client organization. Eso very experienced profiles like 10 to 15 years of experience in the industry that's typically consulting. Our technology is like anywhere from junior engineer, which is like right forming turns toe couple years of experience in the industry toe all the way toe architects who are like 15 plus years of experience in the industry. And the team is mixed off all of this, right? So front end developer, FBI developer, database engineer, developed engineer all all kinds of rules right on with varied experience. The skills would also, very again, based on the type of rule you are playing right in the research. We have a team off about 2025 doc trips in Data Science and AI and ML who are working on that focus research in a particular area where the engineering is very wide field, as I said, right from fresh out of the college to experience and then depending on what is the typical roles from 10 needs to have the front end scale, the A P A engineer needs to have the A P s skills. The world needs to have the develop skills. I mean, very school six againYeah, I mean, develops is I mean, the last few years has been a very prominent role where obviously establishing or continuous integration, continuous deployment pipeline, uh, company, our internal products for our internal products. Also. Right. So right from creating that train off the C I city tools establishing that to the hosting environment, right? I mean, most of the companies are hosting in the cloud environment, right? So experience with AWS or Google Cloud or Azure? I mean this dare tool set. How do you configure? How do you manage the environment? More focused on alerting monitoring, making sure that the environment is scalable available, right? Resilient. I mean, all of those things. What you we used to call in the past, like infrastructure engineer, right? With coding experience. Right. So that's what has evolved into develops full

good question. I mean, it's a continuous business development, continuous marketing effort, obviously the existing clients, we have what we call farming. I mean, if you heard the terms farming versus hunting, right? So the farming is getting business from the existing clients. And then what the structure we have is we have a dedicated account manager, managing client or a group of clients or a region, right? So their focus is to start toe, continue improving the relationships and reaching out to the new stakeholders within that organization or within that region, and generate more business from that. That company where we already have a relationship with right so that that's funding the hunting. We, our sales team, continuously reach out to the new potential clients based on our criteria that our strength comes from what we call the BFC sector primarily so the banking, financial services, insurance, actually sector. So we identified the leads in that and we reach reach out to them. Control continues, presenting about our case studies representing the value proposition, what what we have and then various ways to reach right. I mean, social media is a great tool nowadays, due to Kuwait, were not able to attend a lot of conferences and all, which is all gone, actually virtual right right now. But that is a very good way to showcase your capabilities, the rules, what we reach out to our typically we're on the technology side. So these are the technology executives. So I would say, Director VP and above like going up to the CEO level. These are the rules, what we work with in order to form a long term relationship with that organization. The typical concerns, what they have is obviously number one on their mind. Is that how do I best align my technology to the business? Right. How do I improve the time to market? How do I reduce my total cost of ownership? How do I improve my productivity? What new technologies we can adopt? What are the innovation we can do in order to give the best experience to our customers? Now, these are the typical questions they they have on but that comes toe define their key metrics as a success. Also on which is what way address our innovative character service offerings are tailor tow project on how it will help them in one off them or all of these areas.

when the the type of engagement. Right. So the consulting, when you're defining a strategy that is mawr at a VPs weepy or the C I will level these are the rules. When we work on defining a strategy, lay the foundation when you're doing a project. I mean, you are working with the engineers, engineers, the project managers from the client organization, eso based on what type of project it is the rules of the client employees will very the challenges. I mean, those typical any organization when you go and the you are not in a world anymore, where you're focused on only one activity, right, everybody spread across multiple things. So I think coordinating and especially we have this large organizations where the employee footprint is scattered across the world. Eso, uh, connecting with everybody. Aligning everybody is probably the challenge number one, right? I mean, when you say the stakeholder management, you just need to make sure that you set the right expectations and then you meet the expectations, right? That's challenge number one. I mean, no matter what, your engineering team things, that they have built a beautiful product. But if it fails to meet the expectations, and if they're off, then the expectations, then it's often no use, right, so continuously managing the expectations. And that's where the agile helps us that continuous interaction and actually managing the expectations. That's I would say that is the challenge Number one. The second is. Sometimes there is a conflict between what you will you think is the right way to do it. And whereas what client things is the right way to do it, so putting politely multiple options to solve the problem. So there cannot be just one solution to one problem, right? So, presenting the pros and cons of each of the options Onda putting it diplomatically across without offending anybody is what I think the consultants learn. The engineers learn over the time toe manage the expectations.

so again, based on the skill sets and the role but one common theme. If I were the interviewer, I mean, I look form or fundamental values. Uh, in terms off the integrity, the honesty, the transparency, these are more important to me and communication skills, right? I mean, you may be a brilliant engineer, a brilliant scientist, but if you cannot communicate effectively, you will not be able to project yourself. Right? S. So these are the more fundamental values. I mean, if you don't know something, just say don't know, right? Don't try toe beat around the bush eso Transparency is also important, right? These are the values which I look in the interview and then on top of that, then we have a process, right? I mean, let's say if you are looking for a a p a engineer, right? Obviously there will be kind off according test initially. Right? So our HR first does the initial screening. Then there is according test once according places. And then there is a technical interview and then they HR interview. So you have to go through the process in orderto get actually selected. Uh, but the questions very based on the technology. But the common theme is some of the fundamental qualities which are very important in my mind. Eyes what we clean the candidate for.

But I think when I when I look back, I feel really good about creating value. Right? I have created these organizations thes companies, which which are creating value. So I would say that in a pictures Inpex Trade reason These are my biggest accomplishments. Different diverse companies, right? I mean, innovator is focused more on. Actually, services are consulting business. Simplex is a mobile payment platform. Trade vision is trading platform. So different feels different value propositions. So creating that value from scratch and providing opportunities to people is what I feel very proud about. I mean, we're still small, but I think we're growing rapidly. I mean, in a picture. Now we across 120 employees all over the world s. So I think I think it's it's a good achievement. The platforms we have launched specifically sim picks, which is the payment platform focusing on the post corporate environment. We have launched like a zero touch dining where customers can dining in a restaurant without handing the menu without talking to the server without handing the cash or credit card. So it's like a hero contact, timing, experience and this this is helping. Merchants are the restaurants attract more people where they're suffering really badly right now. I mean, they're struggling on the revenue. So it's It's the with that focus on helping the restaurant owners generate more businesses. Why we learnt the product the trading product also launched. Like the retail customers like you and me, we don't know a lot of the forex or the currency markets. We do start trading, but educating the people to generate income and giving them or to lot of very, very low price with good proprietary algorithms which we have built. These algorithms were available only at the large. Brokerage institutions are large forex, kind off agency. Now they're available at a retail customers. So these are the good accomplishments without feel, uh, that I'm really proud off.

I think the what I'm seeing is, uh, technology rapidly evolving. Um, mawr. But I think one skill from a technology field which I would like to highlight, is that people are looking for more and more what we call full stack engineers, right? I mean, they just don't want somebody to be like I'm just like a u e u x person. I'm just like a back in person. I'm just a database person, right? Because off the advances in the technology, because of the information what we're using today, the train is moving towards you becoming just full stacking there. I mean, you should be able to tow develop a product. I mean, don't tell me that you cannot do back in or you cannot manage the database. All right, so right from your contained to a p A database, and to some extent, develops also, so people are looking for the self sufficient or full stock engineers. I mean, that's a significant change with Amex this thing in the industry and it is actually becoming easier to learn also right now, right? I mean, you don't have to restrict yourself toe one particular area. You don't have to special. And there are a lot off tools available at your disposal, which is why it has made it possible toe have this actually diverse skills. The group, I mean, basically, still, the development in all of these areas is still growing and it will continue to grow right. The more fundamental you are in each of these areas, The front in the a p a the databases, the operations E I m l. These are the areas which are growing rapidly right now. I mean, talk about any single field. A i n m l is there right now and it is getting more and more commercialism in the challenges off computing power. As we work on that, I think the animal will become more prevalent and it will be a really, really good thing toe do some really innovative and breakthrough work.

my responsibilities are typically defining the strategy for the organization. If you're talking specifically with the trade division, right? So when we say that defining the business canvas are the product canvas, which is where we need to start, right who are your customers? What is your value proposition? What is your business model? I mean, these are the basic questions you have to define. So working with that to creating the business and defining the business canvas and the protocol ones. So my cto, he works closely with me in order to do that primarily that the second is then obviously raising money are how how do we get investment for this Once you create the business plan are the business canvas? I mean, making sure that you have sufficient pull off money to sustain the roadmap right, which is the second priority and then the third. Is this ongoing a fault off creating awareness about the product marketing branding, which is kind of our ongoing activities. So these are the three major activities, uh, three priorities. I would say the pain points are a bit it's it's a new company. It's a startup, right? I mean, there are pain points in every single area, right? I mean, with limited resources with toe, how to create a value and how to create awareness. That is the major pain point. Today I just sheerly reaching the audience, the traders, and in the non traders who want to become actually a forex trader reaching that, our audience, making sure that they know there is a company called us Trade Vision on. Then they should you that that is actually challenge number one right now. At this point, the second is that with limited funding, what we have, uh, taking on new development, right? It's a catching a chicken and egg, right? I mean, you know, to start generating revenue fast, right? I mean, they say that experiment fast, fail fast, right? So you have to keep on actually doing that. But at the same time, you have to make sure that you sustained the team eso playing that kind off multiple balls in the air, right? And without dropping any ball. So your toe juggle among multiple priorities at a stage of a starter so that that's another pinpoint

have been both Ray Division and Sim Pixar Technology startups. Uh, they're both and I mean different areas, but simplex are the unique actually challenge in terms off. It's in the payment sector and in the payment sector, you have two different segment off. Audiences are customers. One is the end user who would use the app toe, complete the transaction, and the second is a merchant, right? So you need toe. Make sure that you have specific value proposition for both these audiences on. Do you grow them simultaneously? Customers are not going to adopt your product unless it is widely used among the merchant community on March. Entra is not going to adopt your product unless it is widely used in the customer community. Right? So you're here to show the value proposition toe both of them. So growing that organically is very difficult in the payment field, right? I mean, you go like, for example, zero touch dining. What we have we are going after restaurant chains right now so that you don't have to acquire one restaurant at the time. So once you acquire a restaurant chain, all the 30 40 restaurants are actually automatically uh, become your they become your customers like, so that accelerates it. But organically growing in a B two c segment is very time consuming, very effort consuming. That's the another challenge. Actually there the strategy is what we are adopting is, I mean, be clear about the very what is your value proposition will be focused, right? Do experimentation. I mean, don't build something in the vacuum because you feel it is good for the market, right? What we do is like iterative Lee. We launch the features by talking to the customers by talking to the merchant. So it's a customer driven development, right? Which is what we're trying to add up. Even after that, we actually struggled because I think what segment you select, where do you do? The survey, who do you talk to is also important. You cannot all the broad inputs into the product, right at the beginning. But I think this is where you approach with a focus on a very specific value proposition is what is important strategy for tech stopper

is Toby, Just honest. I'm in my undergraduate, which is the mechanical engineering. I'm not actually using that at all, right. I mean, I just start off my career. I actually used it. Uh, NBA probably helped me a little bit to broaden my, uh I would say the knowledge or gave me exposure to the areas which I didn't know it. All right, E I did a lot of courses outside which I feel are focused on my career growth path. Because, uh, in my engineering, we were not exposed to software development. I did courses on software development because I wanted to become towards, like, the architect and the CTO. I did a lot of courses on becoming an architect and also city, which gives the broad range of technology functions in an organization. These are the specific courses which actually help me. Uh, the best part. I will see that. I mean, it depends on how passionate you are. Really? Right. Uh, my m b. I think the best part was the interaction with people from diverse industry. I mean e mean rather than the classroom or the theory. The what is what we did the project plans what we did, where we were a group of like six or eight students and from completely diverse background and completely divers, divers industry so in tow them and that that open your eyes on looking at a problem from a completely different perspective, I think that was kind of the best part there.

I do my town halls and I'm very passionate about it. I mean, I want toe My goal in life right now at this stage is to make sure that the individuals grow right. So the things which I tell them the three things which you need toe adopt remember, in your life is one is relationship. Grow your network, build the relationships because they are going to make you who you will be in future or who you are right now. Never under underestimate you alone will not be able to do. I mean, I would not say anything, but you will be able to do very little accomplishments. If you are on your own with network and with your relationships, you can actually multiply your value. So focus on that number one. Number two When I say that your individual competency, right? I mean, when we say that you as an individual, when you focus So first is this external focus on relationship. The second is internal focus where I tell four things to all my employees. One I call it three C's and one eye. So the three seed stands for competency, commitment and communication, right competencies be based in the field. Whatever you want. Be passionate, right? Grow in that field. Commitment is that don't visit it in your commitment. Once your commitment, make sure that you're fully committed to that half heartedly. It's not going to take you anywhere half, but it is not going to take your business, our employer anywhere, right? Communication. Be clear. Be Chris. Be transparent in your communication on the ice. Stein's for innovation Make sure that there is tremendous scope for innovating in any field. Right? Think differently. Always think that. What am I going to do different here in this? How am I going to provide a different value proposition? Toe my client? How am I providing different values? Service toe my client. Right. So innovation is important in all of those things. So that's number two on number three. Most important is that have a sense of purpose, Our goal in life. Whichever stage you're at right that gives you to fill toe move forward. That gives you the North start to move forward. So I think these three things are very close to me on I tell every time I do the town hall across my employees, this actually tell them about thisI've been doing unusual. I think I wanted to get out of my comfort zone. Uh um, creating the consulting company on my own was very daunting. I was ableto work on that where establishing the relationships, growing the business. It feels like you are in completely uncharted waters at the beginning. But the preparation towards that goal helps you become confident day by day by day. Right? Uh, sim packs, which is I have filed a patent in the what I call reverse authorization. And that algorithm is used by symptoms, but still, I mean, execution is important. Everybody has a brilliant idea, but making that idea into a real product on socializing that product and growing that product. I mean, these are the areas where failed, and we have failed. I mean, uh, initial what I when I launched in pics waas I thought that it will be very good in, like, unattended systems like wending machine or ticket kiosk. So we worked with the company to develop hardware, but within realize, I mean, even though we were ableto prove the concept establishing that supply chain, establishing the whole manufacturing and creating that hardware under readers was like a daunting task. So we had to quickly change that course, right? I mean, these are the things. But you won't know this unless you face them. So don't be afraid to face the adversity unless you try. Unless you fail, you won't know what is wrong. Right? But again, we have to learn from those and continuously move, move forward. Eso All my life I've been innovating. Launching new products failed multiple times. But change the course is also which there the confidence gave me insights into Maurin Toe. Who has the individual? I'm also right. I mean, what are my strengths? Where I feel What about? I need to learn. So it's a continuous love Ling journey, Andi Then I've been I mean, still like every day I tell everybody, including me. Also, I tried to convince myself that take calculated risk and face the adversity. Don't just go blind just for the sake of inviting problems. Don't invite problems, right? Make sure that there is a purpose behind it and then actually go and face it

job would you recommend to the students? I mean, if you're clear what you want to do, uh, always think about what really you want to do and what you enjoy most doing. Right? Uh, you have to play a balance. I would say that right out of college. I know it's very difficult for students to get a job, right? I mean, internship. From a practical perspective, it's very easy for me to say this at this point, but I know the market is always, I mean, in this actually condition. Breaking from education atmosphere into a professional world is difficult. So I would say that play the balance between what do you want versus what opportunities come your way? I think about it. Was getting that first entry into the market is important, right? And don't think about that. That's your rained gold, right? I mean, you will learn, you will evolve. You will change your path as you grow in the career. But make sure that you know what you want. And, uh, whatever opportunity it comes to you, and it may be that it's not what you want, right it to go. But if you look that as an opportunity as a stepping storm and have a defined part in your mind. Then I think you will grow in any profession. Eso like like my my case today. If you look at me, I mean mechanical engineer. I mean, I was not happy right when I when I started working in that industry. But then I changed. I changed actually, multiple jobs toe group where I am, uh, parting advice, dues and Don's I mean again. As I said, keep those three things in mind. Relationships are important. Be passionate about what you do have a clear purpose that I want toe Do certain things in my life enjoy working back. If you're not enjoying, don't stay there. I mean, that's that's very important trade various traps. I mean, you get into the traps off like they're paying me Well, my job is comfortable, but within if you're not enjoying, don't stay that you will not grow. Try to explore new things, reach out for new things, Do innovation on most most importantly, create value in the world so that you can feel satisfied when you look back. When you look back, you will not remember what projects you worked on? What what are the videos? Things I did in a particular job. But when you look, you will see the moments off activites satisfaction when you've really felt good about what you did and that collecting that satisfaction, collecting those memories, building those relationships, These are the things which way you will, which you'll remember, and those will be your assets as you group in your
