He is the one who had the idea. The ideator (he sees opportunity in everything), dreamer, social idealist, the thinker and the doer all rolled into one. He has over 12 years of experience in sales and strategy consulting and was till a year and a half ago with the Communications, Media and Telecommunications practice of Oliver Wyman (erstwhile Mercer Management Consulting) in the Middle East. He chucked it up to come back to India and do something that was his passion – become an entrepreneur. This is his second venture. He is an engineer and holds an MBA from INSEAD.

He is the technical lead. He loves challenges, so when Mrigank posed the problems behind voicetap to him, he took notice. When he realized that the deadlines were unrealistic, there was a very small (read ‘no’) budget to start with, and the list of challenges went on … he was hooked. Mr. Technical has over 13 years of experience in both hardware and software and was till recently handling the web operations for Travelguru - a Travelocity company. He is the driving force behind the technology, and loves his three C’s: Cigarettes, Coffee and Challenges.

He is the IITian. Don’t know how else to categorize him. These IITians are all the same – doing multiple things at all times. You can find this fourth year guy on twitter, Facebook, Orkut and every other social media marketing tool known to mankind. He actually runs a business around social media marketing, and is leading the charge for voicetap on that accord. Vivek is currently at IITB and was a part of the Jagriti Yatra – an 18 day train journey across India where he got to meet inspiring entrepreneurial role models – and that’s also where he met Mrigank.

He helped with Voicetap from the outside for a long time, and his tenacious nature, great sales skills and passionate personality got him a personal invite from M to join the core team. Siddharth has a varied background - from recruitment to embedded systems. He has worked with corporates like IBM, Infosys and others, while at the same time has sold innovative solutions to mid sized companies. S manages a few verticals for Voicetap, and is usually the first point of contact for any recruitment initiatives

Arpit is our Mr. Marketing – sales – operations combined together. A cynic who likes aged Single Malts and Navy Cuts – Arpit handles some verticals for Voicetap. He is the one who is called to prepare that killer presentation, as well as go wave his hands at crowds and make those presentations or structure that new program for associates. An engineer from NUS and Stanford, Arpit has prior startup experience with GetSilicon – which got sold to e2open.

A hard core telecom technology guy, Sandip brings with him the rare combination of business sense, committment and great coding skills. (he actually showed us a working model of our technology during the overall interview period itself. Thats over a period of 10 days). Sandip was previously with Dialnet communications, and manages the core engine of the platform.

Sudhir is the guy who manages the code and extensions / fancy stuff on the platform. A Jat - his subtle and sometimes not understandable jokes always ease up the atmosphere in the office. An amateur boxer in his yesterlife - he now spars with technology and knocks out code related problems in tight deadlines.
