The Genesis of Opiant
Opiant Technologies has come a long way in this journey of entrepreneurship, which began some eight years back. And it has been an immensely satisfying and enriching journey! The firm is from small places where it received its basic education before moving to the capital for higher schooling and eventually settling down in its various vocations.
Over a coffee cup, this idea to start the team’s own company was born! The objective was to provide IT services and consulting to mid-size corporates and government sectors to provide customized solutions currently influenced by big players.
It was a very humble beginning when Opiant Technologies started building its business brick-by-brick. It was not until two years after the company’s inception that everything had an office space and began recruiting full-time employees; previous to that, it was done on a whim.
In the initial phase, it was only through word of mouth that the company started getting projects, which is ongoing to date as it has never had any focused sales and marketing for its business. Opiant Technologies takes pride in the fact that it has successfully delivered projects and has been recommended to various other channels for its services and consulting.
Opiant Technologies, unlike many other IT firms, is primarily a services company aiming to create, grow, and retain devoted communities at every touchpoint. Its main strength as an organization is the ability to transform ideas from business to technical.
The company has become one of the recognized information technology and consulting companies delivering software solution tools. It has expertise in developing easy-to-use, search friendly, mobile-friendly, database driven websites, enterprise resource planning, and content management systems.
Visionary Leaders
Technology being a fundamental requirement for any business today was the driving factor behind the thought of bringing Opiant Technologies’ own venture. As both team members were professionals from corporate setups, they could fairly envisage the way they wanted to build up the organization.
With qualifications and experience tied to the company’s backs minus any seed funding, the team dived into setting-up its first company in 2013. Aarti, to be specific, is a Cost and Management Accountant Professional with over 18 years of experience in Finance and Accounts.
Nagendra is a qualified project management expert with over 22 years of experience in information technology. With this, it appeared to be an ideal mix for growing its business.
“Now, after being in the business for so long, it gives a feeling of gratification and the immense pleasure of being able to take decisions and reap the benefits,” states Nagendra.
Plate Full of Services
With Opiant Technologies group having offices in New Delhi and Estonia (in Northern Europe), it has a well-rounded team of technical and functional experts and in-depth capabilities to help valued customers develop result-oriented software products and services in a cost-effective and timely manner. The company enables businesses to accelerate time-to-market and address evolving market challenges with commendable expertise in Application Development Services, Cloud Computing, Business Intelligence, Custom ERP Development, and Embedded Devices, to name a few areas.
Furthermore, the team has completed projects in data sciences and has begun to go into new fields of Artificial Intelligence (NLP and ML). It has completed projects in various fields, including healthcare, shipping and logistics, construction, interior design, and, most notably, wildlife.
The firm is delighted to be connected with the Wildlife Conservation Society to provide solutions throughout the world. It has previously collaborated with NSTFDC and UNDP and is presently serving as a consulting partner to an organisation in the United States. In the future, the company intends to continue providing services and solutions in specialist areas of technology to existing and new clients throughout the world.
Motivating Mission
The mission of the company: It strives to offer the best possible solutions to mid-size corporates and government sectors at the most cost-effective packages and utmost convenience.
The vision of the company: To be a global customer-centric company, creating value for each business, thereby catering to customers across the globe in niche areas of technologies.
Keeping the Head above the Water
Starting Opiant Technologies was not a cake walk, as it was full of challenges, more so when it also involved giving up full-time jobs along with the regular income; it was a tough decision. Nevertheless, since Nagendra and Aarti had a passion for building something of their own, where they could be the risk takers and decision makers, it gave them the momentum to take the plunge!
“Having said that, we could only have made it through the choppy waves with the help of our families and well-wishers,” says Aarti.
Unlearning to Learn
While the team aspires to grow and leap into new things, technology and its advancements have been the key to keeping up with the pace to successfully remain in the business. It is the same spirit that Aarti and Nagendra have instilled in the employees through various knowledge sessions and ample training to keep themselves updated with newer technologies.
Both believe that the growth of their employees is the growth of the organization. Keeping that in mind, they promote the employees to focus on work and delivery and personal growth and focused development through learning. The firm inculcates in its resources the concept of team building through various measures from time to time.
Gist of the Future
Besides keeping up the high-quality deliveries in the existing domains, expansion is definitely on the cards! The directors being e-residents of Estonia and promoters of a company in Estonia, look forward to getting business in Europe as well as the UK. Opiant Technologies also looks forward to working in close association with Wildlife Conservation Society as their global partner.
Value of Employees
It is only through a vibrant workplace that one can attract, retain, and grow talent and thereby thrive, not just survive. By saying so, Opiant Technologies set clear objectives and mentored leadership, encouraging accountability and ownership among people.
The team has regular zoom video meeting sessions with all company employees to keep the atmosphere free from stress, where they chat with them apart from work. Opiant Technologies keep its employees motivated by recognizing their efforts from time to time.
Words that Matter
An entrepreneur is commonly seen as an innovator, a source of new ideas, goods, services, and business or procedures. It is an individual who creates a new business, bearing most of the risks and enjoying most of the rewards.
“If you are ready to take risk to enjoy the reaping benefits, welcome to the world of entrepreneurship,” says Aarti and Nagendra.
Entrepreneurship can be seen as a mindset having three major types of abilities:
1) Entrepreneurial abilities consist of perseverance, ability to recognize opportunity, motivation, and planning.
2) Foundational abilities consist of communication, critical thinking, problem solving, decision-making, ideation, and collaboration.
3) Key building blocks having confidence, creativity, curiosity, self-awareness, empathy, joyfulness, and observation.
“My advice to the younger generation is that the world is full of great ideas, but success only comes through action. The biggest motivation is to keep challenging yourself and understand that running a business takes lot of time and energy. Mistakes, according to many entrepreneurs, are the finest teachers. You get closer to success when you learn from your errors,” says the team at Opiant Technologies.
