While most were dreaming of success, Shamit Khemka was making it happen

While most are dreaming of success, winners wake up and work hard to achieve it. Shamit Khemka, the man behind India’s premier IT solutions company, Synapse Communications Pvt Ltd, is one such winner.

Shamit started his entrepreneurial sojourn in 1994, when he established Pharos Infotech. Based out of Kolkata, the company was India’s first ever bulletin board service (Livewire BBS) with emailing service. This was followed by the establishment of Sampatti.com in 1998, India’s first interactive real estate Web directory, which brought together the real estate industry and allied services on a unified platform.

Shamit then launched Synapse in 2000. The IT solutions outsourcing enterprise was started with a modest investment of Rs 6 lakh and 5 rented computers. Owing to Shamit’s hard word and focused dedication, Synapse is one of the leading IT outsourcing companies in the country today, with a workforce of more than 300. Headquartered in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, the company has representative offices worldwide and has registered a growth of 100% every year, since its inception.
