On 22nd June 2015, I walked into a (relatively) small office, clueless and almost certain I wouldn’t last in the corporate culture. Little did I know what I was getting into; I couldn’t have known that software is more than just lines of code.

A Platform for Growth

Linedata provided me with a platform to grow, thrive, and mold myself into the engineer I am today. I’ve been fortunate to work under nurturing managers who consistently challenged me to perform at my best while offering unwavering support. There are few moments in life where one’s trajectory can change drastically, and finding mentors here has been exactly that for me.

Over the years, Linedata has been more than just a workplace; it has become my second family. Through nine years, countless projects, multiple teams, and hundreds of relationships, I’ve learned that great software is about more than just code. It’s about culture, continuous learning, building relationships, fostering trust, and so much more.

Gratitude and Memories

I am immensely grateful for all the opportunities I’ve been given at Linedata (and previously at Gravitas). My heartfelt thanks go out to:

  • The fantastic managers who always wanted the best for me, standing by me even in my worst moments.
  • My colleagues, who have been a constant source of inspiration. I’ll carry a part of each of you with me as I move forward.
  • Linedata as a whole, for becoming more than just a job—it has been a way of life.

Even as I depart, I shall remain a distant admirer of Linedata and all it stands for.

Why I’m Moving On

While at Linedata, I lived, ate, and breathed the company culture. Now, I’m setting my sights on a new challenge: relocating outside of India. This decision, while difficult, aligns with my personal and professional goals for the future.

My time at Linedata has equipped me with skills, experiences, and a mindset that I believe will serve me well in this new chapter of my life. The global perspective I’ve gained here has inspired me to seek opportunities beyond national borders.

What I Will Miss

In reflecting on my time at Linedata, I’ve realized that in great workplaces, it’s your colleagues who truly make you shine. The supportive environment, collaborative spirit, and the sense of camaraderie are aspects I will deeply miss.

Some specific things I’ll miss include:

  • The daily interactions and brainstorming sessions with my team
  • The sense of accomplishment after successfully delivering a challenging project
  • The learning opportunities, both formal and informal, that were always available
  • The company culture that encouraged innovation and personal growth

What’s Next

Having worked with such amazing people, the bar has indeed been set high for my future endeavors. I’m excited to announce that I’ve found a business partner in my best friend, Adwait Mardikar. Together, we have started Tribe77 Technologies Private Limited.

Our startup journey has already begun with the launch of TheFanTab, a sports community building app. We’re also on the verge of launching AmanAI, an innovative and intelligent dating assistant. These projects represent our commitment to creating technology that enhances human connections and experiences.

Looking Ahead

As I prepare for day one of life beyond Linedata, I’m filled with a mix of excitement and nostalgia. The skills, experiences, and relationships I’ve built here will undoubtedly shape my future success.

To my Linedata family: Thank you for nine incredible years. Your impact on my personal and professional growth is immeasurable, and I’ll always cherish the memories we’ve created together.

Here’s to new beginnings and the endless possibilities that lie ahead!
