A top technology company in Scandinavia listed on Oslo Stock Exchange has a dominant position in the public sector space; and the largest oil and gas, shipping, construction and real estate, and financial firms in the Nordic region are its customers. To extend its leadership in Europe and accelerate its business growth, the company was looking to scale its software engineering capabilities. With limited access to talent in the Nordic region, it looked to outsourcing firms, and evaluated some of the largest Global IT Services firms along with some niche firms in India and Eastern Europe. Their ideal engineering partner would have deep technical expertise, process excellence, world-class talent, and integrity.

After multiple rounds of rigorous onsite evaluation, it selected a fast growing Indian company with complete focus on Software Product Development, extraordinary talent, great work culture, and deep technical expertise.

This company is Proteans Software Solutions; a Bangalore based outsourced product development company.

Started in 2003, by Sudhakar Gorti, and his three friends from IIT, Prashant Singh, Nilesh Patel, and Neelam Dwivedi, Proteans provides software product development services to ISVs, SaaS companies, Internet businesses, and software R&D organizations of Global 1000 companies.

“In late 2002 and early 2003 we had observed a shift in the Indian outsourcing industry. Companies in the U.S. had realized the technical capabilities of Indian engineers, and instead of outsourcing mundane back office work, they were eyeing talent for product development. All four of us had been working in product development for a long time in startups and MNCs till then. Always wanting to start a business of our own, we gave up our plush life and plunged into the wave of product development outsourcing,” explains Gorti, CEO, Proteans Software.
