His second company, Information Technology Systems was started in Jan 1983 and became profitable in the third month of operations. He merged this with Coromandel Industries Inc, a US company. He built the first commercial SQL engine out of India and licensed it to a US company, managing two teams between India and US in 1985-90, (a development team in India and a marketing/customization team in USA), and moving over to US (Queens/NY) in Aug 1990. He had his first multimillion $ product in 1993, and merged the company with MIDAK in 1994-95 and created Integra Technologies Inc.

He will touch upon innovation, product ideas, and entrepreneurship. He will share his experiences of building perhaps the first-ever technology product, an Indian RDBMS, and selling it to a US company. This was done in a period when ‘make in India’ was not on the headlines, and the concept of ‘entrepreneurship’ was also not a buzzword in business, technology or management schools and Indian industry.
