Rajesh likes listening to his customers and doodling. Every now and then a big idea pops out from those doodles. Then he likes to knuckle down to build products and see his ideas in action and producing results his customers speak and dream of. He is passionate about building high performance teams. He drives product development, invention and people development at AWSUSA, which he co-founded a decade ago, along a 25 serial entrepreneurial journey. Cryptic crosswords and rugby are obsessions.

Varshal is the forward pushing, hard talking, road burning, deep diving power house who drives us all ever forward and steers strategy to aim ever higher. He lives in that space where art, design, technology, business and relationships meet. He is the AWSUSA gardener and evangelist. He has a 30 year entrepreneurial track that traverses advertising, product management, finance and marketing. He cheers for the Ravens, paints and cooks often, all at the same time.

From being the first employee at AWSUSA to becoming COO through several role transitions that involved responsibility across almost all functions, Pratik had a natural yet relentless climb. He cements the two sides of AWS-Technology and Business Service with ease , moves seamlessly between the two and drives the one to add strength to the other with ever increasing value for customers. Pratik has an encyclopedic knowledge of music from 1940’s Hindi to the latest Rock and almost everything between. He fronts a rock band and scripts a cartoon.

A veteran of the coal face, Rahul is wherever the heat is. His job is to get the job done and he does, day in, day out, with single minded passion. He comes to AWSUSA after having managed operations for 2 multi-nationals. He habitually sharpens talents, ignites minds and throws people in at the deep end, always ensuring they swim. He has built a line of operating champions who live by his favorite maxim “You are what you do, not what you say you will do’. He reads and travels every spare minute he isn’t playing cricket.

His WhatsApp tag line reads “When things have scared me, I have been compelled to do them”. As head of graphics and post production, Sachin has been pushing the frontiers of design, visual technology and multi-media at AWSUSA for 5 years. He likes print, adores the web and is consumed with mobile technology. Publishing across media while being true to each medium, in real time – this is his mission. Sachin is a biker, a photographer, art house film buff and guitarist, but never all at once. ‘Focus’ is his forte.

A commerce graduate with a diploma in software technology, Deepak brings more than 17 years of commercial and operations experience in the software and promotional industry to AWSUSA. He has been with us since inception and has held various management positions, successfully driving the company’s product and service initiatives.
