The company achieved a leadership position in the region for their ERP, Insurance, Banking and Capital Market software products and services.

Prior to Xmediaries, Kalpesh was the Chief Operating Officer of Insyst (which was also acquired by 3i Infotech) where he drove a product led sales strategy globally for their ERP & Insurance products, creating a significant customer footprint in the US, M.E., Africa and APAC.
