In First Confab, Votary Softech Solutions Founder and CEO, Sanjay Kamtam Says Rooted-Determination for Quality from Day one Helps Company not Just with Minimising Post Development Glitches, but also Standout among its Competitors “We create innovative, customized solutions for complex, mission-critical business challenges.” T he big push to connect every device to the internet to create the IoT is causing a demand for embedded software engineers that has not yet been seen in the recent history. This big push is causing a vacuum in which companies can’t find enough technically strong software engineers. Instead of training new engineers, they are starting to rely on application developers, who have experience with Windows applications or mobile devices, to develop their real-time embedded software. The problem, of course, is that these engineers don’t understand the low-level hardware, but only high-level application frameworks that do all the work for them. In light of the foregoing, we’re thrilled to present Votary Softech Solutions.

Mr. Sanjay Kamtam saw the idea of starting up a world-class enterprise, offering premium design services as an opportunity with latitude. Being an adamant nationalist, and a Hyderabadi at heart, he felt drawn towards doing something to give back to the society, and the homeland. This gave Mr. Kamtam to take up the challenge of making the best use of human resources available at Hyderabad city, and build an empire like Votary Softech Solutions. Glitches: Votary Faced During Initial Years Unlike most companies, Votary never struggled for gaining business; rather, its challenge was to find the befitting skilled talent from local resources in India, in Hyderabad – as the level of technical expertise Votary sought for, was not readily available. Another major challenge Votary faced was that its projects called for maintaining the utmost confidentiality in addition to having extraordinary knowledge. As per Mr. Kamtam, these two characteristics were not necessarily very common, especially in India. However, Mr. Kamtam defied these challenges by taking up the role of a mentor and ingrained the importance of skills as well as confidentiality in team Votary.
