Outclassing other sectors in India stands the telecommunication market, which presently harbours the second largest subscriber base and the third highest number of internet users in the world followed by an extensive growth since last two decades. But back in 2008, K P Ganesh Raj (Managing Director & CEO, Eupraxia Telecom) was greatly engrossed in translating his expertise in telecommunication (Doctrate.) and 30 year experience as CXO in Airtel, Sutherland and S Tel into establishment of his own telecom firm. By diligently managing the then prevalent challenges like tracking reputed clients and tackling high costs levied on essential telecom products(IVR,auto attendant, voice mail, frequency hopping and others), Ganesh established Eupraxia to primarily cater to the rural BPOs and SMEs by developing tailor-made, enterprise grade, affordable and toll free solutions. Etching its financial viability by attracting potential investments for expansion and leveraging digital inclusion via 'Digital India', Eupraxia is profoundly engaged in remodelling the existing cloud telephony systems and solutions to reduce up to 40 percent of telecom call costs for both ISD and STD via 'Receptionist in Air', a novel cloud telephony solution embedded with high intelligence.
