One of my batch mates joined as a sales executive in Amkette, a prominent floppies manufacturer, and told me that Amkette is looking for a company that can look after their IT setup. At that point in time, I became a service engineer so I thought why not start my own business? Amkette was my first customer, marking a significant milestone in the journey of my fledgling company.
