With a strong focus on delivering high-quality and scalable software applications, “Software Techniques” built a reputation for its technical prowess and customer-centric approach.
In the year 2000, it undertook a transformation to become AAKIT Technologies Pvt. Ltd, positioning itself as a leading provider of consulting and services around the SAP suite of products.
While retaining the core principles of technical excellence and customer satisfaction, AAKIT expanded its services beyond software development to deliver wider technology solutions to organizations.

Standing Strong Amidst Wavering Market Trends
“To adapt in a thriving business environment, irrespective of the industry, sector, or field you are in, it is important to maintain pace with the changing market trends to stay relevant and maintain a competitive edge.
Strengthening alliances with your customers is indispensable. Their needs and preferences are perpetually evolving. Hence, being connected to them gives valuable insights into their markets. Moreover, building a strong professional network with your peers, competitors, suppliers, and customers will position you as an industry leader. In two words, “Continuous Learning” is necessary. The potential of continuous learning will open a broad spectrum of growth opportunities.”
In addition to it, Mr. Tayeb Barodawala emphasizes that having a complacent attitude is not sustainable in today’s highly competitive business environment. He believes that CEOs who overlook or underestimate competition, risk falling behind and losing market share. There are well-documented cases where companies did not give enough attention to the innovations of competitors and found themselves irrelevant to the customer.
Nurturing a Work Culture That Radiates Employee Contentment
When asked about employee contentment and a positive work culture, Mr. Tayeb Barodawala asserted that it is the ethical conduct of an entrepreneur to curate an environment where employees feel valued, motivated, and supported. Keeping employees’ content and ensuring their satisfaction are essential elements of a thriving organization. Here are some strategies that AAKIT has implemented to foster an inclusive and productive work culture:
- Valuing employees’ for their persistent efforts
- Proving employees’ opportunities for growth and development
- Recognition and Rewards
- Regular Feedback and Performance Management
Mr. Tayeb Barodawala concludes by addressing the importance of believing in hard work and denying any shortcuts to success.
“These shortcuts are illusions that will not sustain themselves and will eventually lead to dissatisfaction. Be curious to learn from your weak points. Always ask questions of your colleagues, guardians, managers, customers, or friends to acquire values and knowledge. There will be many challenges along the way. But we have to adapt ourselves and be resilient to face them.”
