Sumeet Kapur

I am a serial entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in starting, growing and managing technology ventures. Over the past two decades, I have led our company in building software products that help companies better manage their employee, customer and partner relationships. We are among the earliest adopters to appreciate the power of SaaS (software-as-a-service) and cloud computing. We passionately believe that cloud computing will enable millions of small and medium businesses.

I have been evangalizing the cloud wave and sensitizing organisations on the value of SaaS initiatives and helping them automate business processes such as employee and customer relationship management.

Our company, Global Groupware Solutions Limited launched India’s first cloud based CRM application, Smiles™ CRM, and EmployWise (www.employwise.com) the first multi-tenant SaaS HR software, winning the company IBM’s coveted Beacon Award in 2008 for Software as a Service (SaaS) Innovation.

I got my MBA from XLRI, Jamshedpur in 1987 and started my career with Tata Unisys (now part of TCS). I then worked with Wipro Systems before co-founding Chipsoft Technology, which went on to become a one of the most respected multi-vendor IT support services providers. Global Groupware Solutions was started in 1999 as an ISV (Independent Software Vendor) and was the first in India to launch a SaaS application, Smiles™ CRM in what then called the ASP (Application Service Provider) model.

Today, Global Groupware is a leading cloud based provider for HR and Customer Relationship Management.
