Can you give us a brief detail about your educational and professional back ground? Also, what is the inception story behind the establishment of the firm?
I graduated from IITVaranasi and I have a Mathematics and Computing background. Initially, my job was related to coding and programming and in 2012 I was encouraged by the CEO of the company that I was working for at that time to get into data analytics which was starting to become the buzzword of the industry at that time. Within a few months, I found out that the clients were liking the job that I was doing and I developed certain skill sets that were required to become successful in the industry.
We wanted to bring together the diverse expertise and experience of
top notch professionals and that is what became ADLUMINO. We want to ensure that regardless of circumstances, we should assist our clients to succeed. We chose to start our business in Malaysia because it is one of the most welcoming regions in Asia for new digital and technology trends. At the same time, the market here is also quite demanding and this motivates us to constantly innovate and improve.
How do you come up with new and innova tive business strategies?
I have worked for MNCs as well as SMEs and this has given me a holistic understanding of the workings of the industry. Data and data analytics are my forte and I do continuous research on the market and provide data and insights for effective marketing. It is important to understand and choose the right people to join the company and develop them as a team that can work together for the betterment of the organization.
We also believe that by combining our expertise and being genuine with our offerings, we can provide positive solutions for our clients.
What were the challenges that you faced in the industry?
From a personal standpoint, I oversee a lot of our operations in different countries and since we curated small teams, I have to deal with all the different facets of our operations. This means that I have little time for myself. From a professional stand point, we are growing rapidly and I have to update myself with the latest trends and
Our main objective is to understand the pain points of our clients and offer them data-centric solutions that will help their business to grow and succeed.
