Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?
Ankit Agarwal: I was working in FinTech domain for more than 5 years when I thought to start Hexaview in 2010. Where all other services companies I knew of, were providing vanilla tech services, we had a vision to provide niche technology consulting services only in fintech directly to US customers. This vision gave birth to Hexaview.
Abhishek Talwar: Taking it forward from Ankit’s, we were always sure that our offering would be niche technology catering to niche market. Where we spent a good amount of thoughts were on the sector and the geography. What swayed our decision in favour of fintech was our working experience in this domain alongside the growth promise sector held in 2010 and till now. US market is arguably the most fintech literate market in the world. So, we decided to take our offering there- a symbiotic set up for a fintech consultancy.
Great Companies: What are the various Services provided by Hexaview Technologies, Inc.
Ankit Agarwal: 4 major technology services provided by Hexaview are:
a.) Enterprise product engineering
b.) Salesforce consulting
c.) Data & Data science engineering
d.) Cloud services
Abhishek Talwar: I think Ankit has summed it up pretty well.
Great Companies: What makes Hexaview Technologies, Inc. different from hundreds of other similar service providers?
Ankit Agarwal:
Being focused on financial domain helped our team members to share both technical & domain knowledge with our customers. We are their technology partners and not just service providers. Their success defines our success. We grow when our clients grow. Founders are willing & eager to get their hands dirty and help clients succeed. We do not say yes to every client who approaches us, which I think allows us to provide right set of services to the customers we work with.
Abhishek Talwar: In addition to what Ankit said, we are laser focussed on hiring the right talent. And this talent that we hired back in 2013-2016, is now occupying pioneer positions and executing our vision.
Great Companies: What are the struggles and challenges you face?
Ankit Agarwal: Customer Acquisition, branding, hiring you name it and we had struggles everywhere as we started in June 2010. We are first generation entrepreneurs and had to build the business from scratch. That was interesting, highly educating and challenging at the same time. We took one problem at a time, solved it, and then moved to next one. From finding our very first office space, to expanding our current office to accommodate more and more team members, there have been struggles to achieve each & every milestone which has made me a better person.
Abhishek Talwar: I think the biggest challenge any start up faces is trust. Market doesn’t trust you and lack of trust is manifested in form of challenges which Ankit just mentioned. Over the years , what Ankit and I have done is to go out of our way to build trust with our customers, service providers and most importantly, our staff. What appears impressive now , whether long association with staff or customers is actually our sincere efforts on avoiding complacency at all costs. Regardless of success or occasional failures, we have been committed, tenacious and fair. That has help us build Hexaview as you see today as also contributed towards our personal growth.
Great Companies: How do you plan to grow in the future? What does 5 years down the line look like for Hexaview Technologies, Inc.?
Ankit Agarwal : Hexaview is a completely bootstrapped company and profitable from day 1. Today, we are 300+ strong team and plan to double ourselves in next 2 years. We are at an excellent growth trajectory and would like to expand ourselves in newer regions like Canada & Europe.
Abhishek Talwar: Would like to grow our revenue at health 40%+ CAGR for next 5 years as a result the future promising and exciting for all of us here.
Great Companies: If you had one piece of advice to someone just starting out, what would it be?
Ankit Agarwal : I think I have said this before to my fellow entrepreneurs: just go ahead & take the plunge and get rolling. If you have the dream, muster courage to fulfil it and then leave the rest on fate. The earning of our life is not how much our venture succeeds, it’s the learning we had during the process/journey that makes each and every one of us special.
Abhishek Talwar: I second what Ankit said. I am also a firm believer of ‘burning the bridges’ if one wants to cross over in any walk of life. Look ahead, give your best shot and then start preparing for next shots. For me, starting out is never a sprint, it’s a marathon-one would need stamina, focus , strategy and of course, a good partner like Ankit.
