Management team

Rajesh Arora

Founder & Chief Operating Officer

Rajesh worked for 15 years in IT and retailing and gained valuable insights into business. With his retailing background, he sensed that while IT industry was booming, customers were not exactly delighted with the service they were getting from their vendors. He believes the words ‘vendor’ and ‘customer’ and ‘employee’ are an anachronism in today’s times as you can win only if all of them work as partners. He founded TriumphSys in 1998 with a vision of building a company where a synergistic partnership was built between all stakeholders to empower each partner to reach his / her full potential. Right at inception, he envisioned ‘Delivering Scalability & Productivity’ as TriumphSys’s raison d’etre and he ensures that all Triumphants work towards this every day. In addition to his COO role, he leads the Corporate Training & Infrastructure Leasing practices of the company.

Rutesh Makhijani

Chief Technology Officer

Rutesh is the quintessential techie who wants to do everything that is there to be done in technology. The redeeming feature is that he has done such a lot in a short span of 11 years that he has a good shot at it. He gazes into his crystal ball and gets us ready for the future. In 2005, he introduced the concept of building practice groups to deliver value-added solutions to our customers and presently runs the Data warehousing, Portals and Content Management & Enterprise Architecture practices. He personally manages key aspects of customer relationships such as technology vision, road-mapping, security and competitive advantage. He is also responsible for providing oversight and mentoring to the company’s delivery teams across all practices. His hobbies include writing & testing code on his laptops, PDAs, phones and learning new languages so he has to talk less to homo sapiens.

Rajeev Yadav

Chief People Officer

Rajeev worked with a large IT provider for over a decade as an HR professional where he witnessed the organization grow from 400 to over 10,000 people. This hands-on role and ringside view of the organization gave him insights into what makes an organization tick. He sees the convergence of interest between the customer, the employee and the organization as a necessary and sufficient condition for long-term success of the organization and has built the Human Resource Management function of the organization to achieve this condition. In addition, Rajeev runs the Professional Services group at TriumphSys due to the very close synergy it has with HRM. Rajeev describes his role as working with people rather than managing human resources and continuously molds the organizational thinking in this direction.
