Have you always wanted to run your own business? What were some of your
previous jobs / companies?
Yes I have always wanted to run
my own business. I used to
work for Microsoft as a Regional
Director before I started
SoftCom.
Have you got any qualifications?
Please tell us about yourself academically?
I studied Chemical Engineering
and Business Administration but never got my diploma for either. I was
too busy working, running
the computer club and teaching
Computers 101 to the students.
How / when did the idea of your
website / company come about?
The idea
about creating an Internet company with my friends
from the college and the university was present in 1991. Before
we created this company, we started mail2web.com in 1995. At
the time I was working for a multinational company whose
firewall did not let employees access their personal email
accounts via their corporate workstations. That’s when I decided to
crate a gateway system which would act like a client and server
at the same time which would let the user access their emails
even though they are behind a corporate firewall. And then I
created mail2web.com for that purpose.
