Business World reports the story of two entrepreneurs who are in the evolutionary process of creating one of the most promising technology companies in India. Their last year’s revenue generation was to the tune of 114 crores, which is an achievement in itself for the five year old company. The whole story describes the chance meeting of two people, Asif Khader and Mukkaram Jan, who turned entrepreneurs. Before starting this company, the duo had dabbled with cement and granite businesses, but their futures lay in software. And the company, Cranes Software, that they started is the only one of its kind in India, dealing with software for scientific computing (now finding multiple applications in statistics, epidemiology and even finance). Their growth process also makes interesting reading; the risks they have taken, the people hired and the results achieved. Hats off to the visionary duo, who not only dreamt big but are on the right path with people and practices in the right place. A great company worthy of a watch in the future.
