A Distinguished Leader
Harish is a serial entrepreneur with immense knowledge and extensive experience in software development, CAD, and marketing. In 1989, when he graduated from IIT with a bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering and Master of Technology in Civil Engineering from IIT, Chennai. India during the same time was under heavy foreign exchange crunch.
Unemployment was high and the software industry was in nascent stages. Though, Harish had several employment opportunities in government and private sector, he chose to follow his dream vision to develop and create an ecosystem that will provide employment to the young minds of India.
Therefore, Cadsys was his brainchild that started in 1992 with an initial investment of Rs. 50,000 which his father saved. Impressed by high quality services rendered by Cadsys, the company won laurels in the marketplace since its inception.
He is recipient of ‘Entrepreneur of the year’ award in 2004 which was given by Entrepreneurship Development Institute, Government of India, recognizing and appreciating his exceptional entrepreneurial capabilities.

Talking about the challenges that Cadsys has faced, Harish sheds some light on the issues that he and his team across while starting the business. He describes, “We are facing obstacles in gaining projects in India as our overseas experience is not considered by government agencies. The GIS and Telecom market has very huge potential and we have the best of the best capabilities. However, due to technical reasons we are being disqualified and are unable to serve the nation.”
Cadsys is seeing accelerated growth in the coming years. The company offers Turnkey Plan, Design and builds services that include installation and construction services for Fiber, Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS), and Small Cell Network (SCN) to customers in the telecom and wireless markets.
