His proven leadership skills, ability to manage change and goal-oriented approach will be critical in helping FSS scale new heights and strengthen its market positioning."

Mohapatra has over 20 years of experience in the IT industry with an established track record in creating and evolving new business models and strategies.

He has played a central role in transforming FSS from being a dedicated software center into a strong global communications software provider with over 300 customers.

Before FSS, Mohapatra worked with C-DOT, where he was part of the team, which developed the first 'Made in India' switch, which heralded the start of telecom software development in India.
