In the year 2000, Nagarajan Pichumani realized that companies in the software testing domains were going to become major players in the market. He immediately established Softsmith Infotech, a company that offers focused testing services and product development services under one roof. He also thought about the fact that there are going to be a lot of companies searching for the right kind of people with the required skill sets and therefore started Softsmith Academy. "We first observe what is important in the specific industry and provide the knowledge of the tools to the person who may need to use them more frequently rather than teach them everything," says Nagarajan Pichumani, Founder and CEO.
