“Have classic feel to my early days. The transition has been huge and also worthwhile,” states Ashish Mutneja. He started his career with HCL HOTRC where he vividly remember learning about the component level maintenance for several gadgets post which he moved on to join Shyam Computers followed which in the Year 1992 with not very deep pockets.

He begun with his own venture which dealt with repairs namely for MBD, HDD for several companies – ICS, Uptron, CMC and DCM Data products. It was a very new project to begin with though for me my work is always fun but over a period of time he realized that repairs shall not be the future as VLSI integrated technology was more and more prevalent in each product and the IC’s were difficult to procure, which urged him to think out of the box.

With his keen interest in the IT Industry he explored several options and the one which struck the right cord in his mind was trading in computer accessories. Hence in 1997 they finally decided it was time to import accessories from Taiwan etc and get into wholesale business and signed distributorship of one networking giant of Taiwan. But found to dismay that working for Taiwanese companies were not his cup of tea and launched his own brand QHMPL – Also popularly known as Quantum Hi-Tech.
