Recently, we celebrated TriState Technology\u2019s sixth birthday.<\/p>\n
We expected the day to be full of fun, entertainment, celebration, and so much more.<\/p>\n
And, it was! We all Tristatians enjoyed a lot.<\/p>\n
But, how could we have let go of this chance to grab our bosses?<\/p>\n
We made a plan to know TriState Technology from within. We have always cherished the core values of our company. But, wanted to know how the company started its journey. The older employees might be knowing the complete story, but it is necessary for the new employees and even for the would-be employees to know about TriState Technology. Because that would connect them to the company and its core values.<\/p>\n
For this, we wrote a list of questions for our bosses.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s immediately begin with our interview with the company\u2019s founders- Mr. Upendra Patel (UP) & Mr. Pragnest Dixit (PD).<\/p>\n
Q: How you landed up in starting a new company?<\/strong><\/p>\n Mr. PD:<\/strong> We both were into serving the well-known IT companies in our initial stage of careers. Almost around 8 or so years of experience in software development, we were doing well, but nothing to our own expectations. And, we both wanted to do something more than just a job. Q: What was the situation when you started TriState Technology and how was it through initial 2 years?<\/strong><\/p>\n Mr. UP:<\/strong> TriState Technology began its journey in the year 2012 with just three people- Mr. PD, Ajay, and I. Our office was a small cubicle of 10×10 sq. ft. where we used to discuss hundreds of plans to become successful out of which, we knew only one is going to work. But, which one was that? A big question. Q: What were the challenges that you\u2019d experienced in your foundership life?<\/strong><\/p>\n Mr. UP:<\/strong> Well, the first and foremost challenge was the increasing competition and the need to deliver in a short period of time. So many web and mobile app development companies are there in the market these days. Staying level-headed and upfront was what we wanted to be. Q: Which one is the biggest project that changed the entire phase of TriState Technology?<\/strong><\/p>\n Mr. PD:<\/strong> It was FANLINE. I will give you an idea about what is FANLINE.<\/p>\n FANLINE is a marketplace mobile app that allows the users to interact with their favorite entertainers using text, voice, and video messaging and even using live video streaming. The client wanted to have an innovative entertainment platform where the fans and entertainers across the globe can connect to each other from their busy lives.<\/p>\n
\nMr. UP:<\/strong> Enough was of our being the job seekers, we wanted to be the job creators and give back to the society what we\u2019ve learned, what we\u2019ve earned. And, here we are with our 6-year-old baby- TriState Technology<\/p>\n
\nMr. PD:<\/strong> Initially for 2 years, it was difficult to understand what to do, where to start, how to grab the clientele and how to give assurance to our deliverables. But, the most important thing was to stand steady throughout this phase of challenges. And, actually, we all Tristatians worked well. That\u2019s why we are here giving an interview with you guys.<\/p>\n
\nMr. PD:<\/strong> Also, if we talk about the technical challenges, then the technological complexities were keeping us running. Because constant learning was much required and we were the project deliveries. So, to balance between learning new technologies and delivering the apps simultaneously was challenging initially. But, with the support of our increasing team of Tristatians’, we were able to overcome such huge challenges.<\/p>\n
\nMr. UP:<\/strong> Yes! Definitely FANLINE. I guess in the year 2017.<\/p>\n
