I manage a diversified global business and team. We’ve created World’s best RIP technologies for printing, and we have happy customers around the world. Our technologies span multiple print segments: Graphic Arts, Digital Printing, Wide Format and Office Printing. We also own patented Scan technology that generates high quality, searchable, compact, secure PDFs from scanned images.
I strongly believe in our Founder’s vision – “Great ideas can come from anywhere”. “Fail Often, Fail Fast, and Fail Cheap” is my mantra, and we sail an idea from its conception to 1.0 stage.
We’ve also started expanding our horizon beyond traditional Print on Paper to the rapidly evolving world of Printing on non Paper substrate (Textile Printing, Home Decor, Packaging Printing, etc.), and 3D Printing and Scanning. Another endeavour underway is to provide our Print and Scan related solutions as cloud services to our partners.
