Our Mission & Values
We are a technology-driven company.
We are committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity.
Since the future of our company depends squarely on the knowledge, imagination, skills, teamwork and integrity of our employees, we value these qualities most highly.
We are committed to delivering value to our customers. We must do this through innovation and by consistently improving efficiency.
We are dedicated to Quality - quality of products, quality of service, quality of relationships, quality of communications & quality of our promises.

Profit is important to us. It enables us to achieve our mission and to contribute to the society. However, profit is not the only reason we are in business.

I travel regularly to meet our customers. Normally, we work with the VP Engineering and the CTO of product Companies.  I meet them regularly and most of the time our meetings are technical discussions or discussions about specific projects we may be working on.
As the market was slow, most of our customers were not in a position to discuss specific projects.   Most projects were on hold, and our customers were under pressure from their CEOs and Boards to reduce costs.  This meant that they were pushing us for rate discounts.

As our customers were pushing us for rate discounts, we used the opportunity to get our contact points to get us meetings with their CEO in exchange.  Systematically, since January 2009, Hari and I have met more than a 150 CEOs and heads of business.  During these meetings were able to observe how CEOs think.  This was the best thing that happened to me.  I quickly realized that the CEOs have a very different approach to their business as compared to the VP Engineering and the CTO.

Our customers are of all sizes from Billion Dollar companies to start-ups.  The CEO and heads of businesses we met corresponded well to our customer mix.  By and large, CEO behavior is independent of the size of the Company we met.

Let me share with you the highlights of what we observed from our meetings.  There are many corollaries from these basic observations which I will subsequently share with you.
