Karauli. It is said that if a person is determined to do something, then one day even the most difficult destination is achieved. A similar story is of Kamlesh Sharma, who comes from an ordinary family of Karauli district, who has created history by starting his career from a small district of Karauli in Rajasthan. Today Kamlesh has established his multinational company worth Rs 4000 crore in America.
Kamlesh Sharma, who once ran a computer center in Karauli, has worked in many renowned MNC companies in America before starting his own company and is now the CEO of his own company Cognivera. He left his job with an annual package of around Rs 2 to 1.5 crore and chose the path of entrepreneurship. And today that decision has taken him to a new height.
Kamlesh says that he was not very fast in studies in his childhood. He was very disappointed after getting low marks in 10th board, but this failure taught him the biggest lesson of life. He decided that now he had to do something “big and different” in life. This determination and hard work took him to his destination.
Insistence to keep learning becomes the key to success
Kamlesh Sharma, CEO of Cognivera, believes that continuous learning and keeping yourself updated is the biggest key to success. He started his career as a developer and gradually gained experience in sales and management. While working in various companies in America for many years, he improved himself at every level.
He tells that before starting the company, he was working as a director in America’s Zensar Technology. His package was very good then, but he always dreamed of doing something “bigger”. Leaving a job with a package worth crores, he described it as a calculated risk to start his own company. Because with the job he had collected enough funds to start his own company.
Kamlesh says that those who want to start their own company should make strong preparations first. Don’t take risks unless you have enough funds and stability. Success comes only when you are ready and strong to take risks.
The company’s network spread from India to America
Kamlesh Sharma’s company Cognivera has today become a successful multinational company. Its corporate office is in Mumbai, while development centers are located in Hyderabad, Pune and Mexico (USA). The company’s business is spread in countries like Africa, West Indies and Australia.
Kamlesh gives credit for his success to the blessings of his parents, God and people. He says whatever he has achieved today is the result of the inspiration of his parents, blessings of God and continuous hard work.
