0153 - The Supplier Perspective with Suhas Pathak

Host(s): Andres Aboitiz and Roshna Rasheed

We are talking with Suhas Pathak, software engineer, entrepreneur and founder of Unnat-e SysTech

You are very welcome to the podcast, Suhas.

Can you tell us a little about yourself to start?

What does a typical working day look like these days?

Could you explain some of the assumptions behind outsourcing as a strategy?

Do you think it is inevitable for a business, to outsource technology services? 

How important has outsourcing been to the growth of India’s high-tech sector?

What capabilities would you recommend client organisations keep in-house? Or put another way, what does your ideal client look like?

Even as a supplier yourself what is your own outsourcing strategy? In-sourcing, offshoring, remote workers…

Talk about the some of the obstacles or barriers. Distance, culture, national factors. Distance for example is both a barrier and a positive factor in terms of time-zone coverage. Some say that having a colonial history can act as an enabler for access to the nation(s) associated with previous administrations.

As a supplier of tech capabilities based in India how do you generate business in Europe, the USA, and Asia? 

Is word-of-mouth and personal reputation still as important as before or are social media platforms more effective for creating brand and business awareness?

Once you have a contract, is there much difference between Europe, North America, and Asia and the client/project life-cycle and relationships.

Thank you for taking the time to talk and for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us today.
