Indian startup ecosystem… Older generation entrepreneurs
Soota’s startup story is as unique as it has shaped out to be. Being something of a serial entrepreneur, Soota started Mindtree in 1999 at the age of 58 and is now at it again, this time with a new start up called Happiest Minds, a next-generation IT company. After some three decades already in the IT sector, Soota believes that a late-stage entrepreneur like himself has several advantages. “If you have a good track record, it becomes easier to get funding at good valuations. I had a good plan to scale the company and I have a better network. Mindtree works in a crowded space. There are people out there who are doing similar things. So my biggest apprehension was always why a customer would come to us. But after the first four or five customers, I overcame that as well,” says Soota.

Happiest Minds features in HfS Blueprint: Software Product Engineering Services
The scope of this Blueprint was software product engineering services for ISVs and internet companies. We excluded software product engineering work for enterprises because it is still an emerging area and there is a lack of a common understanding among service providers of what enterprise work will qualify as ADM versus SPE. There are five service providers in our Winner’s Circle. They all have the scale and are making investments in technologies, design and IP capabilities to push this market forward. High Performers and other service providers are also capable of delivering high-quality services. I was also impressed by three small service providers Belatrix, Happiest Minds and Nexient which are new age software product engineering service providers without any legacy hangover. Their scale is very small, and practice areas are still evolving, but their direction is good. They all have a promising future if they are able to scale up with systems and process and able to maintain their focus.

What Should Chief Security Officers Ask Santa For This Christmas? (Part 2)
“CISOs should ask Santa for a security framework capable of fending off Grinch-like cyber hackers trying to steal companies’ data.
