8. Srijan Ecosystem

Each business unit is a separate legal company, owned and led by
respective partners

All companies work under one common brand – promoting and
enhancing the overall value
Srijan Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

9. Srijan Ecosystem : Why? Why Not?
“The best are everywhere”

To work with the “best” people – no matter where they are in the
world

These “best” require self-expression most:

Belonging – to a certain region / city / culture

Their own “personal touch” to running an IT setup

Centrally-owned remote office locations will “never” work:

given the “lack of ambition to own everything” within original
leadership at Srijan

given the “lack of competence to setup and deliver upon
such structures” (IBM-like) within original leadership at Srijan
Srijan Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

10. Srijan Ecosystem : Why? Why Not?
“Home is where home-town is”

Employees and Partners are driven by being in regions / cities that
they “belong” to

Belonging – born and brought-up; passion / purpose of life / non-
monetary pursuits of life being of higher importance

Spirit of collaboration and sharing

Share complete ownership for greater motivation

Employees share ownership (wherever partners desire so)

Why own everything?

Sustainable, equitable, purposeful
Srijan Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

11. Srijan Ecosystem : Why? Why Not?

Opportunities for employees to work across other regions,
geographies are greater

Higher employee retention

And it's not a complicated structure at all; KMPG, Pentagram,
Zingerman's – already practice such/similar models

Srijan Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

16. Conflict Management : Solutions

Each company/partners “collaborate” rather than “compete” -- for
greater good of everyone

“Governing Council” constituting of one partner for each company;

One-partner-one-vote

Partners, through this Governing Council share resource utilization
reports; share finance reports – for Governing Council partners to
take collaborative decisions

One
