Who We Are

Mahadev ‘Dev’ Gupta -
Managing Director, iPhone freak, nerdy-genius.

There’s little that gives away the passion behind Dev’s nerdy appearance. But the fact of the matter is that the guy who’s been driving the growth engine at StrApp with 14 year background in UI design, Business Development and Client Servicing roles alike is this unassuming, bespectacled, TechCruch-reading, Steve Jobs-idolizing young man.

Vivek Jain -
CEO, Entrepreneur, Sky Diver

Vivek is the kind of guy you sit up to listen to when he takes the stage at an entrepreneurs summit. Beneath the suave, well-spoken exterior is an aggressive risk-taker who said good-bye to a lucrative IT career to co-found StrApp with Dev in 2003, and spearhead business development. His 10-year stint in the IT space began with coding, team management and went on to developing business and managing client relationships. But all this aside, ask him about his experience of swimming with dolphins in the Indian Ocean. It’s quite a tale.

Gary Hukkeri -
Project Manager, Drupal Guru, Songwriter-guitarist

If you’ve ever been impressed with the web-interface of companies such as Mercedes-Benz and Reva, chances are that you’ve seen Gary’s work. With over 4 years of experience In interactive Services and Web Development, he’s found his niche with mastery over Drupal, Wordpress and Day Communique, bringing together the rare combination of creative writing and design. But all this when he’s not strumming his four guitars and penning songs that will someday change the world. No, really.

Shashi John Pinto -
UI Manager

If you knew Shashi when he was a kid, you’d look at him today and say, “I always knew he’d be a designer!” Ever since his folks got him hooked to drawing and painting Shashi would always be lost in world’s of his own creation. It was an Art teacher in school who introduced him to Adobe Photoshop and that’s where he found meaning in his life. Clients are almost always thrilled with how Shashi’s work consistently exceeds expectations. But then that’s a work ethic that defined his fresh approach to design, and to life.

Pradip Babou -
Project Manager, Stargazer, Photographer

If you’re born in Madagascar the French colonial history ensures that you speak the language fluently. That’s excellent news for us because Pradip’s fluency in the language helps us serve European markets better. With years of experience in areas as widely varied as real estate, jewelry and stock markets, Pradip understands e-commerce requirements better than most others. And yes, you could join him for an evening session on stargazing; this IT Project Manager is an astronomer by night!
