Entrepreneur India caught up with Niladri Choudhury, founder and CEO, Xellentro as he spoke more about the conference.

1. Tell us about Xellentro. How does it sit within the entrepreneurial ecosystem of India today?

I observed that there is a big gap in process improvement, whether it is corporate or start-ups. I wanted to bring use of my knowledge and experience in improving the process of the organizations at different stagesto enable them to offer better product and service to their clients and achieve the maximum growth possible. Therefore, I left my job and in August 2012 started Xellentro in partnership with my wife.

In our current scenario, entrepreneurs get to know about sales, funding but very rarely they focus on the management and delivery. Hence, Portfolio, Program, Project Management, Service Management, Agile, DevOps are necessary for organizations not only to grow but to also survive.

2. How do you differentiate from others in the field?

While the realm of Management Consulting is vast and various firms offer an array of advisory services – starting from niche areas to general management domains. What differentiates us from others is our practitioner's approach where we don't limit ourselves only to advisory, we stay on till envisaged benefits are realized and final outcomes are delivered. We bring in huge experience across industry verticals and geographies which make us confident enough to put our neck into the stake when it comes to achieving foreseen benefits and values.

3. Who is the company's ideal customer?

Allthe corporate organizations, both in IT and non-IT, who are into product development or any service are our customers. However, IT organizations are more relevant. Even start-up companies are our target clients as they have to focus on delivery department.

4. Xellentro is organizing the global summit – DevOps India Summit 2018. Tell us something about this event.

5. How is the summit relevant in the current Indian IT industry and how do you see this event paving way forward for the DevOps Community in India?

DevOps has moved from a mere buzzword to a mainstream activity in most organisations. There is a growing need to adopt to the DevOps mindset for both engineers and thought leaders to implement DevOps Transformations in their organisation. There is a huge demand for this new type of skill set which not only includes the full stack capability but also has soft skills like collaboration, trust, empathy, transparency, etc. This event will give an all-round perspective of DevOps from the stalwarts and the practitioners who have succeeded in their organization. Taking cues from them, everyone will have something to takeaway and use it in their own work to make it better.
