As narrated by our CEO ...
Way back in 1992, I gave up my plush job at IA Corporation, USA as a top notch sales person to come back to India.
Here, I started this company in the name of PC Data Imaging Systems providing imaging solutions to the rest of the world. Soon we got a large contract to implement and provide service for one of the world’s largest document management systems. We started a sister company called PC Data Entry Services.
In the years to follow PC Data Imaging Systems metamorphosed into Mindmill Software Limited
In 1996, a delegation from Japan came to give work to the different companies. They wanted us to write a driver that can allow PC floppy drives to IBM Mainframe Floppies and read them into regular PC files. This was at a time, when no one knew what device driver tool kits were. All the major companies were invited to give estimates and quotes. Next day some companies gave over an year as the estimate others many man months. Only Mindmill gave a package that day with the complete software, developed overnight and working perfectly, in it. Undoubtedly we floored the Japanese delegation and got the contract.
This attitude then became the norm in the company where tough projects were taken with difficult to accomplish deadlines. Several Amazons were hired who created a juggernaut which fueled by passion and determination went on to successfully satisfy the most daunting clients.
There was no looking back. One after the other, many new clients joined us. Our success became a model for other to gaze at and wonder but could never be imitated.
Till date, our company keeps its date with deadlines no matter what it takes. And clients stay with us.
Since 1993, the company has moved up the ladder in different areas.
The company started from the bedroom of my house. It has since moved from one office to the next larger one. On July 14, 2008 it made its final move to its beautiful, 150,000 sq feet head quarters at Mindmill Corporate Tower, 24A Film City, Noida, UP 201 301.
In 1993 we only had 1 employee. By 2009, we have over 150 full time employees with majority of them stationed in our head quarters and the rest spread in various parts of the world. As of 2016, we have about 300 full time employee family.
By 2009, we have clients in all inhabited continents of the world in 17 different countries. As they say, the sun never sets on Mindmill software.
Mindmill has achieved various certifications such as ISO 9001:2000 in 1998 and was SEI CMMi level 5 certified in 2010. We are members of various groups, and clubs such as Microsoft Gold Certified Partners.
In 2011, we simply started accepting that we will continue to flourish and grow and have since stopped counting yearly achievements.
With time, the company has collected numerous awards, and laurels. Clients have showered us with applause and compliments. However, our most important and cherished achievements have been the best wishes and blessings from the users of the software created by us and the dedication of our employees.
Best Wishes!
