In 1996 when Ajith J.Pillai hired few computers and started a small unit in a rented house in Bangalore, his aim was to establish a leading software development centre. And as the head of 450-strong enterprise engaged in producing software for leading clients across the globe, he has achieved at least his initial goals.
Perhaps the degree in Electronics from College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram, and further qualifications of MS and MBA from University of Illinois, USA contributed to make him scale the heights he has achieved so far. Or did the experience of publishing and distributing the maths text books authored by his father Janardanan Pillai also mould him for the forays into electronic communication field?
The venture that started with 8 persons in the rented house had a break when they secured a project from the World Bank’s International Financial Corporation. In 1997 itself Nous Infosystems brought out an electronics stock trading software for National Stock Exchange. Since then there was no looking back. If the turnover of the company was just Rs.30 lacks during the initial years, last year it was Rs.32.7 crores. Nous has offices in Europe, USA, and Australia and has its presence in Middle East and Europe. The company’s domain of activities includes online consulting, testing, verification, BPO etc.
It was hard work, dedication as well as clear-set goals that helped Nous to achieve what it has achieved, remembers Ajith.
His wife is Krishna. Their children, Archana and Adarsh.
