Naveen Kumar , Founder & CEO, Global Weconnect Technologies
India, over the last decade, has transformed into a powerhouse of Software and Information Technology capabilities. So much so that today India is the third most exciting startup ecosystem in the world. Every small town in the country has at least six out of 10 youngsters who aspire to be an entrepreneur and dream of leading a self-founded organization. Some have it easy, while some go the extra mile to build it for themselves. You know how they say, a self-made individual. Hailing from a small town in Tamil Nadu, Naveen Kumar did go the extra mile to build his foundations in Data Analytics and establish Global Weconnect Technologies (GWC), before eventually setting foot in the entrepreneurship shoes. Even so, his firm understood the skill gap in the industry and continued to train individuals in the data analytics domain. Naveen Kumar, Founder & CEO of Global GWC shares his journey with us at CEO Insights, the journey that made him recognized amongst the Top 10 Under 40 CEOs.
