Microland Digital Warriors

Microland Digital Warriors | 7 © MICROLAND LIMITED 2020. Internal Circulation Only 6 A salute to our digital warriors Exciting changes are already underway in the IT Infrastructure and Networks space. We should know. Microland has been successfully navigating this space for 31 years. With each passing year, we see the space becoming more interesting, attractive and innovative. Today, storage devices have compute capability, networks are software defined, edge devices with real-time data streaming have proliferated to make businesses dynamic, automation is ending the pain of infrastructure drudgery and 5G is waiting to send the next wave of disruption through the practice of networking. Digital is taking over everything, seeping into every corner of business and life. The scale of opportunity this spells is massive. I am equally delighted to see that we are right there, at the forefront, ready to take our customers through the battlefield of change. We have evidence for this in the 31 Digital Warriors of Microland featured in this book. Their extraordinary PradeepKar ChiefMicrolander achievements tell us that Microland has the talent, the mindset and the infrastructure to make digital happen. We also have customers who have provided us the opportunity to explore our innovative skills, exploit the platforms we have built and placed trust in us. It is a rare and potent combination of capability and imagination brought to the table by Microland and the belief and confidence demonstrated by customers in us. We are truly lucky to have global business leaders as our customers who are supportive when it comes to digital innovation and are keen to explore new technology. The canvas they provide allows us to be bold and brave at scale. I invite you to examine the work of the 31 Digital Warriors, selected to mark our 31st Anniversary, and see how they have grabbed every opportunity to advance Microland, our customers and themselves on the path of digital. Digital is the future. And we are at the right place, at the right time. I hope you enjoy reading about these 31 Microlanders as much as we have enjoyed putting together this book. These 31 are inspiring and interesting. They are funny and insightful. But above all, their stories tell us one simple fact: If these 31 could do it, each one of us can. We need to be observant, customer focused, spare time to upskill and bring our imagination into play. I hope to see many more join Microland’s Elite Digital Corps soon. Meanwhile, my congratulations to each one of the 31 featured in this book. You are our guiding lights.
