June 2004…
I had just returned from Peru after a trek to Machu Picchu to find India had changed since I left five years ago. College in the United States had been an amazing experience and I was set to return for a stint at a fast growing technology company on the East Coast. But in the few months I had before I started work, I set forth to rediscover my homeland.
I found people teeming with optimism. Looking towards the stars – proud and egotistical about the future of the country. But something seemed amiss. The rest of the world still looked at India as a land of cheap labor, annoying tele-marketers, customer service reps and gut wrenching curry.
Yes we’re smart. Yes we’re enterprising. So why wait for the wage arbitrage to run out? The time was ripe to create an institution that was committed to technical excellence. Why not create our own “insanely great” products? But first you need a better hammer and chisel. I was back soon. Inspired by those who go against the grain to challenge the assumptions, affect the masses and make a difference, Brainwave was founded on the following principles.
-
product centric
-
design oriented
-
technology driven
-
mecca for developers
The Sureka Group was perfectly positioned to take advantage of this opportunity. Cash rich and ready for a challenge, the group was full of encouragement. Enthused with its success in manufacturing and real estate, its combined experience has been a boon to this fledgling enterprise with lofty goals.
And so we begin. As we proceed through this endeavor, we promise to always…
-
deliver cutting edge products
-
tackle tough technical challenges
-
never cease to amaze
