Further, the company works on deploying the next generation technologies in real world scenarios and not simply on research projects.
“It is important for early stage companies to hire people with an entrepreneurial mind-set, thirst to achieve relevant work experience and make sure that employees find meaning in the work they do.” says Bina Patil, VP – HR
