CTOHave you met someone very tall, down to earth, fun-loving, techie yet composed? It must have been Jay. After BTech Jay went on to explore Bangalore and to secure his MS from Indian Institute of Science(IISc), Bangalore. Jay brings over 16 years of IT industry experience in software architecture, leading development teams, and technology strategizing for multi-tier applications while working with many startups in Silicon Valley, and with giants like IBM and TCS. And he can still crunch code with lightening speed. Jay is responsible for devising and implementing Avake’s technology strategy, developing technical operational infrastructure and for leading the product research and development activities. When Jay is not at work, he can be seen watching or playing football games. Skating is another thing that he loves doing – sprains hurt but they aren’t incurable. Pranav Goel
Engineering LeadA born programmer, Pranav has been playing with computers since his 6th grade. It shows up when you see Pranav working – computer seems to be so much at ease with him. But not just technology, Pranav can handle anything, anyone, anytime. He’s the kind of guy who one can only like. Pranav grew up in Delhi. To take a break from the big, and getting bigger, city, he escaped to Hardwar(U.A.) to do his B.E. Computer Science & Engineering from Gurukul University. Avake brought him back to his home. Pranav is loaded with adventurous programs. He loves racing his bike and newly acquired car. If the traffic police go on vacation for a day he would race on the Jaipur highway blindfolded. And if his mom permits he would party on Everest along with his buddies. With terrific leadership and technical skills, Pranav is Mr. Dependable. Pranav is the guy who has his hands in all the Avake projects. He primarily leads TolMol team. Suvrat Sharma
Engineering LeadIs anything impossible? Nah! Just pass it to Suvrat to watch how coolly it transcends possible. Outwardly shy, Suvrat can have you burst into laughter with his popular one-liners. Suvrat comes from the beautiful place called Jammu but grew up mostly in Hamirpur. He did his BTech in Computer Science & Engineering from National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur. Don’t go by his lean structure, in sports he’s another champion to watch out for. Also his team has made a New Year resolution for him i.e. to have him gain some weight. Suvrat loves blasting technical challenges. Nothing is new to him, he can handle everything like a pro. While working, or sleeping late in the mornings, the hour indicator of the clock doesn’t mean much to Suvrat. He is happiest when he fixes some seemingly unfixable problem. |
