- 2. 2 P R A S A N N A G O P I N AT H C E O & F O U N D E R S I L I C O N V A L L E Y D N A Throughout my 20-year career in Silicon Valley, working in engineering leadership roles at companies like Cisco, Sybase, IBM Research, Oracle, Pure Digital (maker of the Flip Camcorder), and Sourcebits, I outsourced lots of work to consulting companies in the US and India. Based on this experience, I founded CognitiveClouds to fill a missing gap I saw in the software consulting services market, bringing the tools, processes, and professionalism of Silicon Valley to India. We have instilled a rigorous entrepreneurial spirit in many individuals to look at customer solutions innovatively and find solutions to problems that can potentially grow to be demostrable industry solutions. With the cost advantage of Indian developers, we’ve built a profitable business capable of growing 4x in the coming year. A FEW WORDS FROM OUR CEO

- 6. 6 Cities and companies around the world try to emulate the quality and pace of innovation that happens within Silicon Valley. Our vision is to bring the culture of innovation that Silicon Valley fosters to Bangalore, India. Silicon Valley embraces failure, so that’s a value we promote at Cognitive. We teach our developers to fail quickly, learn from their mistakes and try a better approach. We also learn from other leading organizations within Silicon Vally. Through our partnership with Google, we’ve learned how to conduct design sprints, and we now use design sprints as part of our standard development process. We think all our engineers should work smarter instead of harder, so we invest in tools and processes that leading innovators use and follow. We believe an average developer with great tools and processes is more efficient and effective than a rockstar developer with no tools. SILICON VALLEY DNA V I S I O N At Cognitive our mission is to foster an environment of continuous learning and personal development. We want the engineers, designers and product managers who work at Cognitive to become better at what they do and more rounded when it comes to soft-skills such as communicating with customers. Technology is always changing, and we need people who want to learn as fast as new technologies are released. Some languages and tools never become mainstream, but if we’re not investing in learning new tech innovations, we’ll be left behind and forgotten. To stay relevant, we need people with minds like sponges who always want to learn and try new things. To do anything less is to become stale and boring. Silicon Valley thrives because of how fast technologies change and we embrace change too. CONTINUOUS LEARNING M I S S I O N
