Reminiscing Polaris journey Foundation Day

It was 24th July, 1993, Polaris Software Lab Ltd got its registration to commence software business.

We got our first international projects from Data General Inc, Raleigh to support their File system. Data General was then a mid range Computer company. We setup first ODC for them at 3rd Floor Carex Center.

Second business was from Saudi Arabia from Saudi American Bank. We supported their client server banking application.

Third contract was from Switzerland with JWS partnership.

The 4th large project was from Software Sidoun, Germany.

The 5th very, very large project was from NEC Japan for writing component based Core banking system. It was led from their Silicon Valley office and it was 100 million dollar contract over 4 years during 1998.

We setup our UK office at Reading, Singapore office, Frankfurt office, Fremont Office, Atlanta office, NJ office, Tokyo office in first 5 years of our operations

All initiatives were bootstraped without any investor support.

It was sheer power of Talent, who believed in sheer entrepreneurial spirit and made the company grew at CAGR of 105 percent over first 7 years which led it to being classified amongst Top 200 Fastest growing companies of the world.

Today Intellect is continuing ‘Path breaking journey in financial technology’ by letting go services business and reinventing its brand to ‘Intellect’ from Polaris.

We let go 2 things at the same time demonstrating Courage of Leadership team at Intellect

1. Cash generating business of Services

2. Globally very well known brand.

I am dedicating this day to BELIEF, Courage, Innovation, intense Customer focus and Power of one intellect team. I draw my daily dose of energy from all of you. Thank you.

Government e Marketplace (GeM) has achieved a milestone of 1 lakh crore orders

During my student days, we used to hear stories about how the government procurement system was riddled with numerous challenges starting from the opaqueness of the whole system to counterproductive systemic requirements, there were some serious allegations of inconsistency involved in it as well. All these conversations inspired me to think of ways to harness technology to build transparency, rigour and efficiency in the whole process.

We at Intellect Design Arena Ltd got the opportunity to leverage technology to bring in the new wave of digital when we won the award for building technology and systems for a complete Procurement Portal – Government eMarketplace (GeM) for the Indian Government. This meant that we had to understand the finer nuances of the State Government and Central Government systems. It was a proud moment for me and my teams at Intellect for it was a huge task to live up to the expectations of integrating complex procurement systems run by various organizations under the Central and State Governments. A lot of systems were in practice but many were not documented.
Today, our Honourable Prime Minister announced that Government e Marketplace (GeM) has achieved a milestone of 1 lakh crore orders through the Transparent Digital Platform in a single year. According to some reports, the government must have saved over 15% in cost (around 15,000 Cr) besides accelerating bidding and procurement. 

Today, I feel pride and humility in equal parts in being able to make a small contribution towards making India better by working to improve the rigour of digital infrastructure in the country. I would like to thank my teams at Intellect Design Arena Ltd who have helped me in making my dream into reality.

Intellect is proud to participate in building the nation’s technological infrastructure

Building a government procurement ecommerce portal is much more complex than direct-to-consumer because each government buyer has a complex set of products with different requirements and different work flows.

Intellect is proud to participate in building the nation’s technological infrastructure based on Made in India Technologies. It was a sweet moment for us to win this deal against Amazon a few years back in a very professional evaluation by the government’s bidding system.

Congratulations to the GeM Team led by Talleen Kumar and Intellect’s team led by Vikas Misra, Debanjan Kumar, Hitesh K Arora, Manish Nahar and Krishna Rajaraman.

Thanks to Infibeam’s team of Vishal, Neeru and Vijay. Further celebrations go out to the team of over 300 engineers who are working non-stop to provide high quality service to over a million sellers and government buyers.
