Rajakulendran said it was his dream to have his own start up and progress in the tech world. The initial stages it was hard, marketing the brand and acquiring customers. “My team and I knocked on doors and constantly were on the move. Many didn’t believe the latest technology and us, as we were a startup, but we have come a long way and manage various projects across the globe.”
