Somewhere in the month of October in 2004, a guy sitting at his workplace decides to start a company dealing with web hosting and web design mainly.. the plan is set.. the guy finally picks the name Web1 India, places the order for the server and starts off on 13th October..

The hosting business does pretty good in the start.. the guy starts getting queries for the website design and SEO work.. so after juggling around with the job and business, the guy leaves his job somewhere in 2005.. The company is reformed to Web1 Solutions by then.. a better prominent name..

The guy hires first employee somewhere in early 2006.. the journey starts off well.. now the guy’s company just completed 5 years.. the journey so far was very good.. many good as well as bad experiences.. the guy’s company is growing on pretty smooth pace now.. they have just moved to the new office and trying to fill up the people.. (so they can get one more office space.. haha)

5 years gone.. and many more to go.. the journey never stops.. the journey should not stop.. the journey will not stop.. just need the wishes from everyone..

Wishing all my team members a very happy birthday.. without you guys I am nothing.. thanks for being with me, keeping faith in me & my company..

Lots of Love,
Deep Ganatra
Founder – Web1 Solutions

New office.. new people.. more excitement..

After waiting for more than a month.. we have finally moved to the new office.. the level of excitement started increasing day by day.. but it was fun.. the new office is more spacious and a fun place to work..

Along with the new office.. we have hired bunch of new people.. bunch of people who always wanted to work on something new.. who always wanted to take the challenges… who always wanted to reach new heights.. We love to have these kind of people in the team.. it adds up lot more fun and excitement in the work..

So, without wasting much time.. here are some of the pictures of our new office..

This one is the main entrance area.. the walls need to be filled up with the paintings though…

That’s the boss’s cabin

Staff room No. 1

That’s another room for the staff..

Guys…

Gals..

and the BEST part.. the cake.. Thanks to Monginis for such a lovely cake..

And finally.. that’s me enjoying the slice of the cake.. and that’s my wife in the background..

I would like to thanks to Nilesh from our team for being around all the time.. you rock

And, also would like to welcome new team members, Ashish & Sumangala.. keep doing the good work..

That’s it for the day.. will be posting more stuff later..

Phew.. a heavy day ended.. finally..

Phew.. a big day just ended.. there were some huge core updates to be uploaded on the Monginis website. They introduced shop for their Cairo store, so we had to make sure that we don’t end up repeating the main core files and make provisions to add new shop without replicating the code.. (Just the template files replicated)

Few challenges on the coding front, but eventually everything went pretty smoothly..

We will have a security testing and few bug fixes over the next week.. but so far, everything seems to be running just right.. finally, the hard work of programmers paid up…

That’s about it… will have more updates soon

Interviews interviews and more interviews

Yeah, that’s right.. we are on recruiting spree, we have been hunting for Sr. PHP Programmers for quite sometime.. have been interviewing lot of people.. but the sad part is, the outcome is not a good as expected.. (though it is better than the last time)

No doubt, there are many guys looking for the job.. but the problem is, majority of the guys do not fit the bill.. the reason? Well, they are actually applying for the wrong post.. their knowledge do not reflect what is generally written in their resume..

Recently we came across very horrid examples.. Couple of guys walked in for the interview with some shining projects in their resume but when we asked them basic questions… they started fumbling.. We also got variety of crowd who tried to explain us why their incorrect answers are actually correct.. some even tried to inflate their current salary figured and started asking for huge amount of salary..

We get frustrated many times, thinking why people do not provide correct information on their resume.

The point of this post is to pass the message that whenever you are going for the interview or preparing your resume, make sure you are aware what post you are applying for and what you are writing.

I guess, I should have another post lined up with the tips or something.. (May be I will have it in sometime)

Finally we have a blog..

Deep — Wed, 06 May 2009 18:04:15 +0000

Oh yes.. finally after being so so so lazy.. we have decided to start a blog..

So, what’s gonna be here?

Well, you can expect lot of things, ranging from personal scoop to tutorials by team members and lot more..

The blog is actually an attempt to be more close to our clients and to share knowledge with the world..

So, that’s about it.. we will get posting soon.. and yea… will get the custom theme designed too… (for now, we will stick to this theme..)

Cheers,
Deep
