Reaching New Heights by tackling Obstacles
The major challenge that Varutra faced was in building a talented team by finding and hiring the best talent who understand Startup’s business environment and are ready to take up challenges in their career. Sometimes it becomes really difficult to find such resources, especially in the critical Information Security industry, where everyone is looking for the same type of technology skills. In general, the companies get a number of resources with profiles matching their requirements but a very less number of them are focused, motivated and dedicated professionals, who are essential for any organization.
Naturally, competition in InfoSec industry is fierce, as virtually Varutra competes with every other organization with near about similar kind of services and product that they offer. It ranges from startups to the large enterprises.
