The Inception Saga of Veegam
Veegam Software, founded in 2017, is the brainchild of Praneet Gundepalli, Founder and CEO of the organization. Bringing over 18 years of experience in the IT sector, with expertise as a Software Architect, Praneet laid the foundation of the company with the aim of providing best in-class software solutions for diverse applications at minimal costs. The establishment of the company was inspired by one of the firm’s current Directors, who is a doctor by profession and required a software solution that could handle and streamline hospital-related concerts like background management.
The firm’s name, a reflection of its commitment to delivering high-quality solutions rapidly, is inspired by the Sanskrit term ‘vegam’, which means speed. Despite promising quick turnaround times, Veegam’s team ensures that its solutions not only meet the client’s requirements but play a pivotal role in helping businesses flourish.
“Veegam was founded because we feel every business needs a website to improve their business, grow big, and reach customers easily. Our team takes care of our client’s IT projects regardless of its level of complexity. We are not afraid of difficult tasks. We have the best team of developers who aim to complete the work with high quality. Our credibility, commitment and capability to develop, optimize, and host web applications remotely are proven by our custom web application software and mobile apps that allow clients to access data from anywhere, anytime, using any device”, shares Praneet Gundepalli, Founder and CEO, Veegam Software.
Employee-Centric Work Culture
Recognized for its employee-centric work culture, Veegam’s achievement as one of the top software firms to work for is well-founded. Promoting a family-like work environment, Veegam boasts a work culture that is equally invested in employee well being and growth as it is in delivering exceptional products to clients.
Praneet, understanding the dynamic nature of the sector, encourages his team to continually upskill, self-learn new advancements in the industry, and continually strive to deliver improved products.
“We encourage self-learning, we always ask our employees to learn software development (coding) because it will always help them in any field they are in. I encourage open communication, I discuss with the team regularly while making any decisions. Moreover, I strive to foster a culture of respect for individuals, diversity and differing perspectives. I also encourage my team to strive for excellence in all aspects of work and service delivery and to emphasize creativity and continuous improvement”, adds Praneet.
Beyond encouraging a proactive approach from the employees, the company also offers various opportunities for employees’ professional growth, training, and development. To further motivate upskilling, the firm also recognizes individuals who perform well, giving them awards as well as salary hikes in recognition of their outstanding performance. Moreover, contrary to the common practice of replacing underperforming employees, Veegam takes pride in striving to encourage all employees to step up their performance by undertaking courses that can help.
Focusing beyond professional growth, Veegam also strives to offer employees a work-life balance through flexible work timings, period company outings, teambuilding sports, and other exercises and encouraging employees to incorporate daily physical activity within their schedules. The company also takes care of basic amenities like in-office snacks as well as reimbursement of any personal expenses made for company projects, giving employees peace of mind.
