Complete web solutions for your business

Picture this: In a small 12x15 ft room in a crowded, noisy marketplace in New Delhi, India, a young man in his mid-twenties is working single-handedly seven days a week on one computer. That is how Wisitech (then christened Orient InfoSolutions) was founded way back in January 1999.

That young man was Partho Mondal, a printer-turned-web developer who founded Wisitech from scratch. Today Wisitech is a leading end-to-end web solutions provider with clients across the globe.

What Partho did not have is the vital initial capital required in any new business start-up. All he had was this rented room and a computer.

But the crucial asset he had was a vision that could spot the key areas of growth in the booming internet market. And the skills required to innovate and produce high quality web development, graphics and 3D modeling & animation work.

"It was the best of times. It was the worst of times" (Tale of Two Cities). The internet was booming and everyone who had some or even little knowledge of the web was jumping into the fray.

To survive in such a fledgling, fast changing market, it was vitally important to know exactly what would sell and how. Partho knew that to rise above the crowd, one had to provide high quality work at reasonable prices.

Wisitech's first flagship venture Meghdutam.com was a website that published and promoted creative writing in English.

Thanks to smart positioning and good quality writing, Meghdutam.com became a much talked about website in literary circles and was even featured by BBC World television channel as one of the four Best Literary Sites In The World in the year 2000.

The year that followed was perhaps the worst in web history. As the dotcom bust dragged down with it thousands of dotcom ventures, some of them losing millions of dollars in investment, Meghdutam.com too faced a downslide.

Acute financial crunch and lack of a workable revenue-generating business model undid all the hard work that was put in making it one of the leading literary websites of the world.

Bitten but not shy, Partho realized that along with providing high quality work at reasonable prices, one needed to have a foolproof business model that would ensure high ROI (Return on Investment).

With his ability to spot the 'greenfield' areas that were slated to be the next 'Big Thing' on the web, Partho focused sharply on web development, online marketing, multimedia and e-learning solutions.

His entrepreneurial zeal and keen business acumen with over 18 years of varied experience in designing, coding, marketing and web marketing has propelled Wisitech from that small one-room-office start-up to a rapidly growing firm today.

Overcoming initial hurdles such as cash crunch and infrastructure bottlenecks, he positioned the company as an end-to-end web solutions provider - something that very few companies were doing.

Rather than focusing on only one kind of competency, such as designing or programming or marketing, Partho concentrated on developing each competency to become a crucial part of a wholesome solution package.

His mantra, "You are as good as your team".

Today, backed by an energetic and determined team, and supported by a loyal client base with whom his relationship goes beyond just business, Partho is spearheading Wisitech with a laser-sharp focus on becoming "the best web solutions provider in the world".
