His induction is aimed at strengthening InstaReM’s existing technology capabilities, while developing new ones. With more than 20 years’ of experience behind him in building high-quality software, Nilesh will be using this wealth of experience to drive the firm’s technology strategy, architecture, development as well as infrastructure & development operations.
