Shachin

Shachin is a builder, inventor, and problem solver. He has a track record of success as an entrepreneur and CTO, giving him the knowledge of what works in the corporate environment when it comes to building products. His creativity and innovation are complemented by his ability to stay grounded and execute on ideas. As a kid, he loved to build model train engines and cranes out of Mechano sets by using different pieces from different sets outside of the given directions, highlighting his passion for building and trying to solve problems in unique and unconventional ways.

This eventually metamorphosed into many years of product development expertise spanning a wide range of clients and domains. From start-ups to large enterprises, Shachin has launched multiple successful platforms across the worlds of eCommerce, retail, finance, and enterprise technology. These efforts have led to companies acquiring new clients, predicting user behavior more efficiently, developing more robust marketplaces, and selling licenses.

His rationale for creating SWStrategies was to build high quality solutions in a mixed on-shore/off-shore setting. 16 years ago, when he started the company, most projects with off-shore teams would fail. He wanted to change that by providing the right mix of talent and skills in the right location. His goal was to create a company that could deliver results through a collaborative effort, regardless of where the team was located.
