Aggarwal felt that new, disruptive technologies were changing the IT landscape. "I thought, let me be a part of this change," he said. "Going forward, companies will consume IT, not produce it."

So Aggarwal had been hired for a clear-cut mission, but more on this a little later.

As he worked through his chapali kebab and dal, Aggarwal quickly dived into providing me his new company's details: that it started as an R & D division of Ramco Industries Limited in 1992, and that later it branched off as an independent company in 1999.
