Ravi K Meruva
Founder & Chairman
Begun his entrepreneurial adventure in 1998 with Iconsoft, a premier Information Systems Services Firm, Ravi's voyage was fraught with backbreaking hindrances. Bootstrapped and bankrolled his entire venture with personal financing until the company achieved positive income to supportits own operations, Ravi expounds, "Running Iconsoft through two recession cycles (2001 & 2008)
has taught me, how to weather different phases of the business cycle, how to place the company for growth during expansion & how to consolidate during the contraction". His liaison with his workers is genuinely smooth, as he provides the license to intellectual freedom to them while enduring the financial backlash if the concept fails or misfires. Ravi also regards both his associations as a troupe of freelancers under one corporate umbrella.
Apart from being a well-built industrialist who has established a strong foothold in today's cutthroat loam, Ravi is a sensitive soul, who adores his hometown Hyderabad and loves Dum Biryani, chai, panipuri & sweet pan at the corner store in summer and corn cob on charcoal in monsoon spell. Driven by the passion of making a difference and giving back to the community as a person and as an entrepreneur. Ravi feels blessed to have a magnificent family, which tolerates his anxieties, put brakes when required and allows him to accelerate when needed and above all facilitates him to have balanced work & family time. "My wife and kids have been my harshest critics, who keep me grounded as close to reality as humanly possible," quips Ravi.
Being one of the illustrious business visionaries in diverse fields ravi believes that the foundation takes the longest time and is the most imperceptible part of the building
