India’s Leading Business News Channel: CNBC TV18 took an Exclusive Interview of Mr. Hardik Sanghvi, CEO, Vmukti Solutions Pvt. Ltd., on how he developed an idea of web conferencing into an innovative Unified Communications Platform, now popular as Vmukti.

The Interview started with discussions on the necessity of a green technology like web conferencing solution in today’s business environment and how emergence of communication platform like Vmukti has brought disruption in the Global Web Conferencing arena.

The CEO then explains as to how the journey began. The idea of developing a web conferencing solution came from a speech from the former President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam at a NASSCOM conference held at Mumbai.

Mr. HARDIK SANGHVI holds a Bachelors of Engineering in Electronics & Communications from the DDIT, one of the premier technology institutes of India. During his 9 years of experience, he has worked with fortune 500 companies like IBM and Xerox, USA as well as Asian giants like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).

Most of his path-breaking technology products have been dedicated to open source community. By releasing the product in open source he is ensuring technology availability to everybody without discrimination. Besides savings in cost & time of businesses around the world the products are believed to help bridge the great digital divide.
