Welcome to the third episode of our podcast series 'Valley in the Making' – a series where we invite you to explore yet another inspiring journey from the world of tech and entrepreneurship. We bring you the stories of passionate individuals who’ve carved their own paths, faced setbacks, and built something impactful from the ground up.

In this episode, we feature Vishwanath, the Founder of VGTS Technology, who brings over 13 years of experience in the IT industry. His story is one of resilience, innovation, and continuous learning, blending both product building and service delivery to create a successful business.

Vishwanath’s Story:

During his third year of college, he earned ₹60,000 by building a product – a moment that sparked his entrepreneurial journey.

After completing his engineering, he joined Wipro, only to realize his true calling was entrepreneurship.

He quit his job and started a service-based IT company, while also building a product-based company – which later faced failure.

Learning from that experience, he rebuilt and now successfully runs both service-based and product-based companies.

Through this episode, Vishwanath shares:

✅ What a service-based IT company is and how it differs from a product-based one

✅ Key roles and departments essential for running an IT company successfully

✅ How to acquire clients and grow a service business

✅ What to do when you’re on the bench in an IT company

✅ The essential skills for IT jobs and common challenges in the industry

✅ Why candidates sometimes get rejected, even after a good interview

✅ The truth behind layoffs and why engineering grads struggle to find jobs

✅ How AI is impacting job opportunities and salaries in the IT industry

✅ Practical tips for scaling and maintaining a tech company in a competitive market
