2.What is the biggest challenge of being a CEO and how do you overcome it?
First of all i have never tagged myself as a CEO I have always consider my self as one among the employee of the company.If there is a crisis or need, i have given the team the confident of me being in person to support my team and helped them to come out of it. This work culture helped me to overcome most of the internal challenges. My previous experiences have thought me how to be a leader rather than being a boss.The biggest strength which i have is to understand people and act accordingly.For any company who think of success should have a positive environment which is directly proportional to the activities of the management.Always keep your environment and your employees happy which will definitely reflect on the success of the company.
Apart from that as I represent as a CEO for my company ,I am the reflection of the whole team.I hold the responsibility of execution and decision making.I should not let my team down at any moment.To do so I am equipping myself in all possible ways.I follow many successful leaders who has already been an example and I am learning everyday from every single person i meet and will keep learning throughout my life.
3.What is your approach to making salient decisions for the company?
I am also a very good listener so foremost thing which I do before analysing something is I will put the things in-front of my team on the table. Will ask the team to discuss about it.until then I won’t fix my mind to anything.As a team we will come up with all positives and negatives of it.We have list of goals which has to be achieved for every year and if the negatives does not affect the list we move a head with our discussion.If not we close the discussion as we believe it is not our cup of tea.
4. Did you ever feel like giving up on being a CEO and what motivated you to pull this off?
Giving up is something a person will do if he does not trust his ability or the vision. I am very clear on my vision and ability ,So I will never give up for anything.But I choose success of the company as the first and foremost thing. If myself or the team could see someone who can do a better service for the company being a CEO,I will be happy to leave the position open for them to serve it better.I will still continue to serve the company and help the team.
5. Describe your biggest achievement
To me there is no destiny for success, success is always a journey.In this journey I should be an inspiration and example for the younger generation to follow. Giving back to the society is the most important aspect of this journey.Being brought up from a middle class family to becoming an entrepreneur is something which new generation can take it from here.
“If I can do it,You can do it”
A true Entrepreneur is the one who is solving the need or the problem of their customer.In my way solving we are solving it through technology.In that note Each and every solution which has been provided to the customer is a biggest achievement.Because we feel that we are enlightening the customers life though our solution with technology and we are proud of it.
6.From where you get the idea for business?
Better things can come from experience.Stunning ideas start from a small initiative.As I mentioned before I am very good listeners so i am open to suggestions and feedback.I listens to everyone and Everybody has their own way of looking at something that is where most of the productive ideas starts.Basically the theory of earning is by converting their knowledge to money.Following the theory I have prototyped my business.Along with that I have added Honesty and Transparency as my toppings.
7.What was your aim to start Proglint Software Solutions?
The foremost aim is to build an empire who can satisfy all the problem of customer through technology. In most of the cases building a solution for the customer end up with expectation and reality which shouldn’t be the case.So we aim to build the team who can fill the gaps and delivery the product or the solution on time with quality. Along with that we would also like to open up the opportunity for the younger generation who has the talent and ability.
8.Tell us some of your failures
I will not define anything as my failure instead I will consider it as my stepping stone.Falling down and bouncing back is part of everyone life,Even a child start waking after a fall.All you have to do is not loose your focus and faith on what you believe. Always try to stand on top of the stone because that is what defines your next step after a fall. Like other I have also faced lot of difficulties in my life, I don’t want get deep into it because it is part of life. Nobody have tasted their success without difficulties. I would like to mention one bad experience which happened in my life
In the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey when I approached one of the Bangalore based Indian company representing my company(Proglint) for the first project, the client have shared the requirements and asked us to do a proof of concept.Team has worked hard and delivered it on time.Client was also happy on the work.They have asked us to estimate the work and share the financial and technical proposal for the project.We have estimated as per the corporate standards and shared the price in USD. I still remember question which the CEO of that company asked “You are company who just have started and you do not own any value,In what certainty did you estimate this project in USD”.The tone and way he spoke almost shattered things for me at that moment.As i give importance to my self respect I denied that project from that company.I believed in my ability and I bounced back strongly.Now the basic rate what we are charging for a resource is almost 3 times higher than what we have quoted to that company. As a value we have some of our prestigious customers like UST Global,Tata Group, L&T etc.
9.What is the role of your family in your successful career?
My family play a biggest role throughout my career.My parents are more supportive and they have always motivated me when I am down.I have learnt from my parent that we should to give up at any situation of life however bad it may be.I would like to mention their names here as a small respect Mrs.Gandhimathi & P.R.Sudhakar. I would also love to mention Mrs.Amutha who I treat as my another mom.They all have supported me throughout my journey.I am very happy and proud to be their Son.
Most important person in my life is my wife S.Vanathi Ramasamy.She has sacrificed so many things just for my career and vision.She trusted me when I have nothing.As I have been travelling to different countries for my work she used to take care of everything at home.She has supported me in all possible ways.She always give importance to my career inspite she has her own career infront of her.I wouldn’t have done this much which out her support. Huge respect to her.
10.What is your message to the young generations and to their parents?
My dear brothers and sisters always validate your self because nobody can give a better judgement than your inner mind. Find what you are good at and give everything that you can give to excel in it. Do not listen to people who demotivate you but be open to suggestions. Trust your ability, Be patience follow the process do not go for short cuts. Do not loose your individuality and self respect.Keep fighting for what you believe the most. Way to success is always hard so do not loose hope. Be confident “The world is all yours”.
To parents do not inject your thought to your children’s they have their own life. Teach them how to choose good vs bad. Educate them with morals. Allow them to express themselves and do not restrict them because of the society.
