Recently, we completed four years as a company (will write a different post about that). Honestly, we didn’t even remember the day or month. It has been the case for past 4 years, we have lost track of time, day, week, month and even year.

One of the best feelings being a startup guy is your team. As a founder, CEO, I have always been proud of my team. On countless occasions, Profoundis has been appreciated for having a well rounded team which is super cohesive.

When four of us founded the company, we didn’t have much clue of what we were doing. It takes a lot of confidence to trust such an early team. There was this guy who trusted a 2 months old company, our first team member outside founding team. Today, he posted his ‘completed-fours-years’ status on Facebook. I felt awesome.

Thank you Nibil

  1. Thanks for trusting us, even before anybody else did.
  2. You have seen it all; our downs and ups. Thanks for being there with us all throughout.
  3. You always believed in us, that we will never fail and that we will never fail you.
  4. When I think about Nibil, I immediately remember, one of his conversations with the founding team where he told ‘I won’t go even if you push me out’. Thanks for proving to us that loyalty is way above what we imagined it to be.

A Company is As Good as the Team.

We are so good because you guys are so Very Good. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.

We are grateful to you and each other member of our team. We have always looked out for you, just like we do for entire Profoundis. You can count on us to continue doing the same. Let’s march forward as team. Godspeed!!!
