Global Landmark (earlier known as 'IT Solutions') was founded as a U.S. Corporation in the San Francisco Bay Area, California on January 15, 1993 by Mani Subramanian, our Founder-Chairman & CEO. Mani is an Engineer and MBA by profession who immigrated to the United States in the fall of 1992.
With $150,000 in start-up capital, the former president of Wipro Systems set out to create a new-generation software-solutions company. Of course he had under his belt solid management experience of around 22 years, first at the Tata Group, where he expanded its IT services into other countries, and later at Wipro, where he increased revenue more than 400 percent in 3 years.
Our Founder's desire to establish a global software company was based upon his own core values and the belief that there would be an ever-growing demand for IT resources that could only be satisfied by a global supply. He was also convinced that the best value to the customer would be only served by having a strong local presence where the demand was substantial.
Mani's dream is to create an enduring and long lasting global IT Institution, which has the ability to create leaders and affect the lives of people over generations. This institution should provide accountable value proposition consistently to customers by offering competitive solutions leveraging Global Sourcing software delivery business model.
Based on his belief that for a company to be truly global, it has to have a rich home market, Mani chose the San Francisco Bay Area to start the company. There is no market more appropriate than Silicon Valley, for its wealth of technology, and California, for the size of the economy. If we could succeed in the Silicon Valley, we could gain recognition elsewhere in the world.
And we did.
