What our story?
Sid and Vishal went from being schoolmates to cofounders for the first time in 2005. Creating Smart Wireless Pvt Ltd with Zee as
co-investors in their vision. Smart Wireless was a mobile messaging company that allowed enterprises to send Application to Peer SMS messages to users across the globe, pretty cool right? No? Well in 2005 it was, at the time they were pioneers because the technology was still at a very nascent stage. They built up the company starting from 2000 messages a month and scaling up to 500 million messages a month. After taking Smart wireless to its peak they sold it company to Croatian investors, Infobip.
Then, they became cofounders for a second time, creating another company called SmartCirqls, where they created big data solutions partnering with a world leading big data platform. In a short time they’d managed to make their business and service into a reputed name across India, North America and East Asia. In 2020, SmartCirqls the founders managed to sell their big data practice to a global system integrator.
