Taking time off from the recent PanIIT conference in IIT-Madras are three senior IIT-ians, busy discussing with Business Line important issues such as entrepreneurship and education, brand-IIT and innovation.
Joining in last is Anand, Founder and CEO of Kuliza Technologies, Bangalore (www.kuliza.com), as the junior-most IIT-ian in the room, with about a decade behind him after leaving the campus.
“I am a firm believer in the India growth story. I believe that the next 10 years will be quite exciting and we will be a part of many life-changing innovations,” he declares, despite the pall of recessionary gloom descending on some of the biggest global players, across industry sectors.
Prior to founding Kuliza (a business solutions provider and product development company), Anand was the co-founder of SQA Technologies (now VMLogix) and Stockfundas.
He has close to seven years of experience in product development at companies such as Trilogy and Amazon.
Kuliza has grown from three to 60 in headcount, over a period of 25 months, and the team includes a fair sprinkling of IIT-ians.
“We have been intensely focused on building a great team and delighting our customers,” informs Anand, when asked about the key drivers to the growth, and also the challenges he had to face.
“As we grow, our challenge will be in creating a scalable organisation that can continue to deliver on our key brand promises: 1) Wow your customer; 2) Innovate; 3) Act with integrity; and 4) Nurture an open culture.”
