Can you share the journey that led to the founding of MSys Technologies?
MSys was founded after recognizing a gap in product engineering services that could drive true innovation. In the course of my career, I have founded and co-founded several tech companies, including AMI (which was sold to LSI Logic for over $220 million), iVivity (acquired by Emulex), and Scentric (acquired by Brocade). I knew that the future demanded solutions and agile, cutting-edge technology services. MSys was built to meet this need, creating a trusted space where innovation and technical excellence converge to empower global enterprises.
With over a decade at the helm of MSys Technologies, what are some of the most significant milestones you’ve achieved?
Since 2008, we have been proud to be a trusted partner in product engineering and digital transformation initiatives for enterprise clients and Silicon Valley innovators.
At MSys Technologies, we have achieved many milestones, which have been marked by strategic acquisitions that expanded our reach and capabilities. In 2015, we acquired Clogeny, a global leader in cloud computing, DevOps, Big Data, and scalable applications. This opened up new opportunities across emerging tech landscapes. In 2017, we integrated DigiFutura, India’s top web and mobile app development firm, into our portfolio and strengthened our digital offerings. In 2019, we enhanced our digital arm by acquiring Mobinius, a well-known leader in Digital, AI/ML, and IoT solutions across various industries. In 2025, we acquired Gophers Lab, a leading force in digital and FinTech engineering in India, to address the rapidly changing FinTech landscape.
These milestones have helped us to expand our global footprint across the USA, Australia, Malaysia, and India. We recently scaled up and opened a new office in Singapore. With a focus on Data Storage, FinTech, Digital Transformation, Cloud-Native Engineering, and DevOps, we have been the preferred innovation partner over the past 16+ years.
How has your vision for MSys Technologies evolved since its inception?
Since its inception, MSys Technologies has evolved to stay ahead of the industry while remaining true to our core thoughts. A great business has a vision that goes beyond technological shifts, and at MSys, our vision has always been to enable and equip companies to be future-ready.
Over the years, this vision has expanded to help businesses leverage the latest technology and foster a culture of continuous innovation, agility, and excellence within our organization. Since 2008, we have transformed hundreds of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and enterprises and have grown YoY by an average of 15% – a testament to our commitment to evolve within the industry while staying true to our founding principles.
How does MSys’ recent acquisition of Gophers Lab fit into MSys Technologies’ vision?
I envision disrupting the FinTech landscape by combining AI-driven financial solutions with API automation. With the acquisition of Gophers Lab, we will make this vision a reality. MSys Technologies’ expertise in FinTech, PayTech, and AI and Gophers Lab’s expertise in FinTech, Golang, and Google Cloud, we will create next-gen AI agents that deliver hyper-personalization in financial experiences.
These intelligent systems will provide personalized financial recommendations, real-time risk assessments, and proactive fraud detection, making customer interactions and decision-making more seamless. Our APIs will have embedded AI, making them self-optimizing tools to perform predictive actions like fraud prevention and dynamic resource allocation.
You’ve been recognized as the “Most Innovative Digital Transformation CEO”. Can you elaborate on the innovations you’ve spearheaded at MSys?
