Our People |
|
| Success always about the mettle and about perseverance; it is not about blind following of mission rather of fitting into the given form. The people listed here are the architects of what we are today, but success is attributed to mostly every person that has been associated with us along the time. We survived the tough times based on a holistic approach, while addressing the pain-points; we have always looked at the larger picture and beyond the current hurdles - to the benefit of all the stakeholders! |
| As we grow, we will need people that can help us meet the needs of our customers, partners and investors. Our need for proven managers, particularly for those willing to work to ' make it happen ' is growing; in the US and elsewhere. If you know someone that meets the profile, tell them about us ! |
