Profile
Manav Garg is the CEO and Founder of Eka Software Solutions. Besides the overall responsibility
of managing Eka, Manav oversees the areas of business strategy and corporate finance.
Manav founded Eka after a brief stint as a trader with a large global commodity trading house.
It was during his trading days that he saw the deficiencies in traditional trading and risk
management software. Realizing the market opportunity, and combining this with his passion for
technology, Manav left his job with a vision to set up a software product company out of India.
The first few years of organizational building at Eka were an invaluable experience, helping him
gain deep and unique insights into all aspects of the business, and the needs of customers across
the globe. Today, with Eka having shown significant growth in revenues, profitability, customer
base and employees, Manav provides leadership and overall direction in such strategic areas as
talent management, product direction and growth strategy. He constantly strives to achieve ever
higher levels of organizational excellence and customer satisfaction by encouraging responsibility
and accountability at all levels.
Under his leadership, Eka has won the NASSCOM Innovation 2010 Award under the “Best Market Facing
Innovation – Business Model & Business Process” category Award, making this the fifth Industry
Recognition that it has received for the year. Figuring prominently in the Top Ten NASSCOM Emerging
Companies in September 2009, Eka was named a Top Ten Software Company by Silicon India, Deloitte
India’s Top Ten companies in its Deloitte Technology Fast 50 program for India qualifying it
automatically for the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pac where it was in the Top 50 companies.
