Tell us about yourself?
An Engineering graduate with an interest in strategic planning, finance, research, and business analysis.
A result-oriented individual with a zeal to explore and learn. For the past 10 years, I’ve been building concepts, strategies, and designs to help startups, agencies, and big companies to delight their users with amazing products.
I am a solution focussed person, I believe in performing above par consistently and raising the bar higher by exceeding goals.
What do you think is the single biggest misconception people have when it comes to startups?
The biggest misconception is “You Don’t Need a Company Culture at the Start”. Culture, I believe, should be solidly in place before any feature update, marketing campaign, significant code-writing, and so forth.
It doesn’t have to be elaborate; it could be a short document but a one everyone should follow.
If you could go back in time to any moment from your journey, and give yourself one tip, what would it be?
Communicate effectively- Clients appreciate managers with excellent communication skills.
Whether it’s by engaging at appropriate times in meetings, regularly reporting progress on assignments, or reading social cues to choose an ideal time to talk, you will likely catch the eye of clients with these valuable soft skills.
Your ability to communicate with many types of audiences, especially executives, is particularly respected.
What makes you stand out as an entrepreneur?
I am persistent, I believe that whatever we have achieved till now is the result of being persistent with our ideas and working consistently to achieve the goals that we have set.
What are some of the best working habits you’ve gained over the past couple of years?
Take initiative on project- After a need has been identified, you can strengthen your client’s impression of you by taking initiative on related project. Starting work on upcoming tasks that may eventually be allocated to you anyway.
Other times, it might mean pitching a project of personal interest that will allow you to gain new skills or subject matter expertise. Regardless, your enthusiasm to create work for yourself will go above and beyond project requirements and command your client’s attention.
Give us a bit of an insight into the influences behind the company?
Why can’t you stop thinking limitless? The core should be excellence making a positive slope with growth. This is the principle that we follow. Since its beginning, prmInfotech always believed in excellence for everything.
We spend the best of our time understanding the client needs, business specifications, requirement gathering, and future possibilities.
This occupies 90% of the energy and efforts put into project development which ultimately helps in building a strong architecture of the entire system and minimizes the turnaround time, bugs, and fixes leading to a successful product.
Where do you see your business in five years?
We see ourselves in top 10 consulting and development firms in India. We look forward to cover all the continents (Antarctica also, if possible).
What do you think the biggest challenge will be for you in getting there?
The biggest challenge is to get medium and big size regular clients for our business and balancing different technologies vs. being a specialist.
Talk to us about your biggest success story so far?
We have been able to work consistently with clients for more than 10 years and have created a reputation of high-quality trustworthy service provider.
How do clients and customers find you? Are you much of a salesperson for yourself?
Majorly, we have got the clients through word of mouth marketing and we hadn’t tried hard to find clients. Yes, I believe I am a sales person and I can convince clients to work with us.
What one tip would you give to fellow startup founders?
Ask for help. People usually forbid themselves asking for help but, seeking support isn’t a weakness. In fact, it’s often the difference between failure and success.
It can prevent costly or embarrassing mistakes, and mark you out as someone with self-awareness, confidence, and an understanding of shared goals.
And finally, what do you hope the future brings both you personally, and your business?
I believe future is full of adventure and learning. As the web4.0 is evolving, we look forward to explore metaverse, creating digital twin of businesses and bringing world together with technology.
