Here’s a sneak peek at my incredible 10-year journey at Bizom. It all started back in 2011, when Bizom was just a budding tech startup and I was a young, wide-eyed developer eager to leave my mark on the world of technology. For me, my very first customer was none other than the legendary Lalit Bhise himself! I started this journey by convincing him!
Back in those early days, my world revolved around code. I was utterly fixated on the intricate technical aspects of our product. But let me tell you, my journey here has been a complete rollercoaster. I’ve learned that coding is just one piece of the puzzle. Understanding our clients’ needs is just as vital, my friends.

But let me tell you, my journey here has been a complete rollercoaster. I’ve learned that coding is just one piece of the puzzle. Understanding our clients’ needs is just as vital, my friends.
From one client to over 500 – what a ride! I went from coding like a mad scientist to facing clients. Then came the big twist – I transitioned from a pure developer to a customer-facing role. Yes, that came with its own set of challenges.
I had to bridge the gap between tech wizardry and what our clients were looking for. Understanding the ‘why’ behind our products was the name of the game, and I totally aced it. And then my tech skills and people skills fused, revealing the magic of tech—solving real problems and making clients jump with joy!
So, if you’re a budding developer, here’s what I want to say: Embrace the frustration, keep learning, and always take pride in your work. Be the bug hunter, not the hunted! Seek out mentors and become one for others. And, of course, keep those fingers dancing on the keyboard for at least two hours a day; you might just make your managers a tad nervous.
