Indian Software Engineer found place in “Time Magazine 2016”.
It is really proud news for India that for building a phone “that can understand almost any language”, an Indian software engineer has found a place in Time magazine’s 2016 list of “Next Generation Leaders”. He is Umesh Sachdev and his new telephone allows the user to use internet almost in any language. Thirty-year-old Sachdev is co-founder and CEO of Uniphore Software Systems since 2008. The other co-founder is Ravi Saraogi.
The Chennai based startup produces software that allows people to interact with their phones and access services such as online banking by communicating in their native languages and it is said that Umesh has co-founded Singularis Technologies, whose Mobile Theft Security product received global recognition.
Time has said through the software, Sachdev is building bridges and helping hundreds of millions of people cross the divide between the digital and the real world by harnessing the power of speech and Sachdev has found solution to a problem that phones didn’t carry the language of villagers in rural India.
