“Makarand, we have been doing it this way for years, it has been working well for us, and that is what makes us unique in this business, we can’t change it.” I was talking to a prospective customer about the challenges she was facing in #modernizing their #technology stack. Modernization does not mean force-fitting the process to meet what is available. Also, it does...
When you have many #alternatives, what is the #best way of doing something? In a recent discussion about maintaining #security of our private #network, the team was discussing the best possible way to set up the configuration. Swanand had to configure the firewall, with more than one WAN link, multiple internal subnets, load balancing, #VPN access to external users, and protection against possible #WAN link failures were some of...
Startup DNA is focused on improving the chances of success for any new business. So what is it going to do with a market-leading, multi-billion dollar enterprise? Well, I have an interesting story to share, which connects the above two, which are otherwise miles apart. One of our customers (then ... they were just prospects), a market-leading, multi-billion dollar enterprise in...
Since the beginning of my career, I have always worked very hard and taken up #challenges individually. The work in CoreView provides me with so many technical challenges and a lot of #opportunities to improve myself. I have handled #development work on multiple platforms simultaneously. Such challenges molded me into someone who can handle #pressure and #deliver the #best. One of the most important things that I have learned is that never...
About a couple of weeks back, #AirIndia reported their longest commercial flight in the world from San Francisco to Bengaluru, covering a distance of 13,993 km non-stop over the #northpole. The #flight was manned by (Shall I say womanned by ?) an all #woman crew consisting of Captain Zoya Aggarwal, Captain Papagari Thanmai, Captain Akansha Sonaware, and Captain Shivani Manhas. A great #achievement indeed. And I was not surprised...
How do you define ‘Done’? The definition of when to say something is done, will vary a lot based on the person who is answering the question. More about that in a different post later. What I want to talk about today is the eagerness to take the credit and get #publicity. Many times getting a chance to do something unique is rewarding...
In an era where users are demanding more flexibility and security in accessing personal and professional data, from anywhere and anytime, how does the CIO take up the challenge to move the solutions that use popular Client-Server architecture and move them to Cloud without glitches? Client-server systems are typical distributed systems, that partition the workload between servers (service providers) and...
Having completed 10 years at Coreview, I can probably write a #book to tell about my #journey so far. It has been quite fulfilling and fantastic. But let's keep it short. In one line - Coreview provided me with a #workplace that fostered my #ideas, my expertise, and my personal #skills so much that today I work across multiple platforms and departments to roll out #projects successfully and independently.
“Makarand, Today, you have to tell me the #Secret! “ A #client asked me at the lunch meeting. “How in the world do you manage to have such a #proactive and yet seamless #development across the company at such scale?” It’s been the #third time the client raised this #question in a week's time, and I realized that this is something I must share with my #entrepreneur peers. Being a #selfstarter is a most respected quality...
Any company gives you an #opportunity to work in the role you want. A great company sees your #potential, takes you in, and guides you to become someone you dreamt of.? Coreview has been that great company for me. They saw what I was #capable of and took a chance on me. Switching from #engineering to #marketing with almost no experience is not easy. But with the Coreview #leadership's belief in me,...
