Tripti Tiwari defies the small-town definition of 'good girl' to start up CloudTrains Technologies
Summary
When Tripti Tiwari was growing up in the small town of Gwalior, she was often fed the scary narrative that good boys become powerful and responsible men while good girls grow up to become meek and pretty wives and daughters-in-law.Today, Tripti is the Co-founder and Managing Director of CloudTrains Technologies, a global services company that specialises in mobile apps development, web development, software development, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Integration, Data Analytics, and Blockchain technology.After completing her engineering in Computer Science from Rajiv Gandhi Prodyogiki Viswavidyalaya in the city, Tripti worked for six years in Microsoft, Infosys, and a few startups in corporate development and emerging business.However, none of these workplaces satisfied her. I began to think, how can I start my own business the idea began from there, she says.She started off in 2013 from a room in her house, and in the next six months, Cloudtrains Technologies moved to an office in the Gwalior-IT Park (Software Technology Parks of India), with over 50 clients.At the initial level, the startups biggest pain point was how to get more clients and generate revenue.The startup works on two revenue models, she explains. It has also earned notable associations and partnerships from technology leaders like Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Nasscom, Software Technology Parks of India, Amazon Web Services, D&B, Tizen, Samsung, and Adobe, among others.Initially, Tripti was the sole founder of the company before Aditya Chaturvedi joined in as the Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer. While many people, particularly young professionals, opt to move to urban areas to find jobs, thats not an appealing option for everyone. We also plan to scale up our client and business base in countries like the US, China, the UK, and Japan, she adds.
