The utilization of a network of remote servers accessible on the internet is known as cloud computing. Without the need for a local server or a personal computer, these remote servers are used to store, manage, and process data. Cloud computing has some advantages that enable businesses and individuals to improve the use of computer hardware and software. Numerous firms have found that using serverless computer networks can help them provide more on-demand computer system resources.

On a serverless network, these resources include data storage and power for a multitude of platforms.

What were the initial challenges you faced?

Every day is a new challenge. Initially, it was about the client thinking if we can deliver & today, we face a new challenge in innovating solutions within the time, budget & yet exceeding the expectations of the client.

Which was that point that triggered the growth of the company?

There were multiple trigger points, from the time we received Awards to us entering the Hong Kong market to signing up with our first Corporate, each one has helped NWDCo Software Solutions LLP grow. The only constant here was our aim to deliver quality & maintain high standards of data security for our clients.

Can you please brief us about your professional experience?

NWDCo started as a college hobby in 2001, while still in college, with a web page going Viral & the 1st company asking us to build their website. After that, I completed my MCA from Mumbai University while still building the client base & signed up my first client in Hong Kong. Besides that, my past experiences include stints in the field of IRD (Interest Rates Derivatives) with Erstwhile Bear streams & JP Morgan. During this time, Maulik, my brother & partner completed his Btech in IT & a year at Accenture, before joining in full-time. Alongside, Maulik developed Linux OS called ‘Sauver OS’ which was published in the Digit Magazine.

In the period to come, our expertise in technology helped implement projects in countries like Denmark, Hong Kong, Sweden, Dubai, and Tanzania. As the technology evolved, we started getting into Mobile app development, Software Development Services, API, Cloud Infrastructure, etc. Apart from this, we have been guest lectures at colleges sharing our experience & journey alike.

What are the key achievements of your entrepreneurial journey?

Looking at a client’s success & then they are recommending us to their connections I believe is our key achievement. In fact, the biggest achievement we believe is that the 1st client we got  20 years back, is still our client & keeps recommending us.

How do you look after your employees? What makes your team unique?

The motto of NWDCo is ‘Technovate,’ which means Technology + Innovation. We have a great work culture that pushes our employees to think outside the box, plan their deliverables ahead of time, and do simple things like look out for each other. Another approach is to follow a strict unspoken policy of not calling or emailing someone who is on leave. We have also created an enjoyable environment for our team through activities like ‘Fun@Office,’ ‘Frrriiii Talks,’ Picnic, etc. round the year, ensuring to maintain a healthy working environment.

Is there any special experience with your clients you would like to highlight?

We have had an opportunity to work with clients like IHCL (Taj Group), Leela Group, Venky’s, Vivo Mobiles & close to over 300+ across the globe.

One person, who you admire the most?

 – Ratan Tata

Whose business story do you find the most inspiring?

Every entrepreneur story is inspiring, each one has built something great with minimal resources & a simple start.

Which is the most inspiring quote you have read?

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic by Arthur C. Clarke

Constant vigilance- a need or a strategy? Please share your views.

The need for constant vigilance arises when there is an issue or rather, there might be an issue. This is very subjective to the fact what is the scope & what is the duration. It may be justified to stop something/someone who may cause more damage.

It’s a rat race out there. How do you cope with that?

We believe to keep trying harder each day, keep innovating & being genuine with the client, showcasing your offerings & reaching out to potential client.
