October 26: We are living in an era where the biggest struggle for large companies is not how to increase their revenue but how they do not get disrupted by a startup.
GreyB was founded in 2008 to fill this gap and enable companies to continuously innovate and stay ahead of the curve. In an ideal world, Makemytrip should have come up with the idea of a Zoom meeting tool rather than someone else. They were the ones who should have seen how people are going to do meetings in future.
Since 2008, GreyB has been providing a new way to build innovation strategies to companies worldwide.
“I co-founded GreyB when I figured out that large companies are struggling to innovate, and there is a need for a solution that can help them see the hidden innovations that are otherwise difficult to find.”
– Deepak Syal
Deepak has received numerous awards over the years, including the most coveted Edison award in 2019 in New York. Talking about his industry, he says, “In the last 20 years, I have seen hot technologies changing over time. In early 2000, cloud was hot; around 2005, mobile apps were hot; around 2010, eCommerce was hot; these days, AI is hot. Hot things keep changing every 5 years. What remains constant is the desire of companies to innovate. The economy is down, or it’s booming; innovation does not stop. So we are in an evergreen industry.”
But it wasn’t until 2012 that the founders of GreyB, Deepak Syal and Chakshu Kalra realised that to build a great company, not only should they work with the best, most intelligent clients but also have the best, most intelligent workforce.
Since then, GreyB has executed more than 2800 projects for 370+ clients, including Fortune 500 companies and many SMEs across 37 countries, and the number is increasing by the day. Today GreyB stands 250 people strong and has offices in multiple countries.
