Ameya Gholap

Product Manager

If you don’t judge me, I can tell you why I am a part of Thanos fan club. I truly believe that man’s greatest invention after the first wheel, was the second wheel and a motorcycle. I use my machine to clear the brain fog, which uncannily seems to rise as Saturday gets closer. That is when I am not gardening or binging on OTT platforms. I love food and love to experiment. Having memorable conversations over liquor, food and deserts is my favorite way of getting to know people. I love to write and talk and feel extremely passionate and connected to my work, also the reason why I do not believe in the concept of work life balance *conditions apply

Sangram Chavan

Principal Architect

Turns out introducing myself has been harder than naming a variable, here goes nothing! People consider me a geek, but I believe that I am more of a pragmatic perfectionist. I always get carried away into depth while exploring technology, developing something new and innovative. I think that my strength and weakness lie along. I can not leave my work unfinished.
I always try to achieve a greater degree of efficiency in everything I do. I assume my fear of failure has always helped me succeed. Most of my hobbies are just directly related to physics, astronomy, electronics & algorithms. 
From the very childhood I am fascinated with mysteries of physics, mathematics, And always interested in knowing how things work. Example: How did people first calculate the speed of light?
Some of my consistent hobbies are playing chess, video games and reading scientific articles. Few quotes which I admire
“Assume Everything You Are Told Is Wrong Until You Are Satisfied It Isn’t.”
“The goal is not to be perfect by the end, Goal is to be better today.”
“Attract what you expect, Reflect what you desire, Become what you respect, Mirror what you admire”

Swapna Prakash

Delivery Manager

Experimental in nature, spiritual in thinking and simplistic in living (currently experimenting with environment-friendly too).
Cool, calm and composed mostly (at other times there are hidden Leo traits!)
Watching cartoons/animated movies or spending time in nature is my idea of fun weekend!

Satish Prajapati

Technical Lead

Aniket Joshi

Software Architect

I love writing code. Ever since I wrote my first program in C, C++, and manipulating it to produce the desired output, I have been obsessed with the idea of using software to solve practical problems. Software engineering is a never-ending puzzle that I am passionately engaged in solving. I believe in the power of programming to transform and improve the lives of people around the world. Ever since then, I have been learning new technologies, algorithms, programming languages.

Ajit Katte

Senior Software Developer

“Simplicity is the soul of efficiency”. I like to keep things simple, be it a lifestyle or a solution to a problem. I am a man of few words but I like to talk about innovation in technology, gadgets and automobile, these things keep me busy and help me not get bored. Professionally, I have 8+ years of experience in Software Development. When I am not working, I like reading about the latest trends in smartphones, bikes and cars. I also like driving, travelling and trekking!

I like to go on bike rides, Watch selective content on OTT platforms, reading books/blogs on medium and listening to music.

Vikas Raut

Software Developer

Games, Gadgets have always intrigued me since childhood. It all started with old school TV game consoles, playing games on computer & playing around it and going towards daily converting bugs into feature & vice versa. I was fascinated with how things worked back then, and it became even more interesting as time passed and sure it will continue. Apart from silently converting caffeine to code, I enjoy driving, music & driving + music and many more.

Abhijit Patil

Software Engineer

I am the one who always wants to be the best at whatever comes my way. Travelling, Trekking, fishing, exploring different delicacies, and being in the lap of nature is what I crave apart from work. I feel lucky to be from Alibag, grown up near the coast and I am addicted to seafood. With an inclination toward our Indian culture, I intend to explore its diverse facets in the upcoming years.

who was always fond of technology
I’ve spent most of my life by the beach 😉

Omkar Goskewar

Software Engineer

One thing about me I am really committed to living the life I want and that’s where FOOD-MUSIC-FRIENDS-FAMILY matters the most !! I like going out with my friends having food and the fun we always have and going to new places meeting people sharing food, knowing their culture is what I do most. When it comes to traveling that’s when I will never feel exhausted, I love driving on the roads going through Nature’s womb where the views are fascinating enough that many times I get a thought of not going back home.

Rusheekesh Jadhav

Software Engineer

I’m a guy who always wants to walk over the intersection of success and satisfaction. Since we are continuously moving forward step by step, it’s getting harder to balance this, and probably it’s turning into a circus. Always get fascinated by the mutants, mutations, and superpowers, which may seem impossible and irrelevant to others, and still want to be one of them. I believe in mercy and justice, which we can’t achieve on the same note. I love games and imagine myself as the main character (of course). It’s like living or precisely just experiencing an alternate life in the same universe. I love to work in nourishing work culture rather than in a pressure cooker. But at last, how does it sound to sacrifice ‘the development’ over sacrificing the nature?

Ganesh Gaikwad

Software Engineer

If I had to describe myself in one word then it would be an “Explorer”. By exploring beyond my comfort zone, I get different perspectives that can make me humble. When challenges come across my path, I like to fight them out and come out with new learnings each time. My hobbies include traveling and exploring new places and cultures, each of which is a source of inspiration to me.

Snehasis Das

Software Test Engineer

Big time foodie who loves to be around family, nature, passionate about travelling, leading a simple life – listening to retro songs, watching thrillers & comedies !!

Mritunjoy Kuwar

Product Manager

As complex as my name might sound, dealing with me is relatively simpler. Having spent quite some time across multiple cities in India, it fascinates me how we are so different and yet so alike. It also made me realize my interest in meeting and conversing with people over tea, food or alcohol and discuss around science, technology, politics, art or anything else. I am yet to discover my hobbies, which gives me the freedom to get involved in anything and everything (I guess I like it this way). So yes, if you are looking for a partner for any activity, you must let me know.

Kuhelika Bisht

Associate UX Researcher

My name means ‘the morning mist of the mountains’ and mum seemed to have some foresight when she chose it because almost all my lines of thought end at mountains. More than the mountains though, it is its people that I adore. My interactions with them over the years prompted me to choose a people-centric discipline. When I’m not dreaming of shepherding in Bhutan, I’m travelling through the music, books and films of different languages and exploring new hobbies – kalarippayattu and pen-palling are next on the list!

Abhilash Dandade

Senior UX Researcher

I am an artist at heart, ambivert as a person, child like in the head and semi-straight forward in behavior (i.e. if I disagree with you I would not waste time in words but just roll my eyes). Sarcasm and daydreaming comes naturally to me – so I am more of a ‘Sit-Down Comic’. I keep exploring hobbies, recently I have been consuming content from different mythologies and practicing cooking. A true believer in in-person interactions and a very empathetic listener. Last but least – Batman Fan.

Swinal Kamble

Senior Software Engineer

As rightly said, “little progress each day adds up to big results”. This is the guru mantra I follow and so, at the end of the day I should at least learn a bit more than yesterday, this is what keeps me going. I love coding, reading technical stuffs and I draw sometimes. An introvert initially but an extrovert once comfortable, so let’s start a good set of discussion soon. Time free is always spent with family, friends, good food, music and social media.
