The people who
run ESDS.

Owners. Operators. Builders.
The team that runs every department personally.

At ESDS, accountability is not a value on a wall. It is the founder's daily operating condition — and it starts before the rest of the building wakes up. Meet the seven leaders who hold that standard.

Somani

Built India's first indigenous cloud patent at 23. Still runs every strategic decision personally. Twenty years later, nothing has been outsourced — not the vision, not the accountability.

Founded ESDS in Nashik with no safety net and one conviction — India's mission-critical infrastructure had no business living on foreign servers. By 2014, the US Patent Office confirmed what he already knew. The patent is not licensed from anyone. It was invented here.

She didn't build a culture. She built an institution. Six consecutive Great Place to Work titles don't happen by accident — they happen by her design.

Joined ESDS in 2012 when it was an infrastructure business and turned it into an institution. Walked into a male-dominated tech environment and didn't ask for space — she built it. Today, women at ESDS lead platforms, command teams and build AI systems.

Gartner. IBM. CtrlS. He knows what the wrong infrastructure decision costs. At ESDS, his clients never find out.

Sat across from India's most demanding procurement committees as Director SMB at Gartner, VP Sales at CtrlS, IT Advisory at IBM. Walked away from hyperscaler lock-in and foreign SLAs. Built enterprise and government revenue streams that now form the commercial backbone of ESDS.

Twenty-seven years in India's most regulated financial environments. At ESDS, the numbers don't just add up — they stand up to any scrutiny.

Financial Controller at Microsemi India, Finance Head at ZF India Technology Center, Director of Finance at Advanced System in Package Technologies. Joined in 2022 with a single brief — make ESDS IPO-ready without breaking its operational rhythm. No shortcuts. No deferred problems.

A decade ahead of the market. He was building sovereign AI infrastructure before India knew it needed one. The systems are already running.

At ESDS since 2015, building Smart Metering at national scale, Smart Cities programmes, PMO-driven transformations — systems that fail visibly when engineering is wrong. Today commands ESDS's NVIDIA SuperPOD deployments, GPU-as-a-Service, and the Enlight AIOps platform. He is not an AI strategist. He is an AI builder.
