Narendra Rao - CEO of Kaizen Infotech
Landed in Mumbai in 1991 like many others pursuing initially a dream to make two ends meet. Never knew that between two ends there will be a self occupied house, a car, a nagging wife and two beautiful children.

All the above took me through a job of two years in a computer hardware company with the responsibility of handling a 24 floor IDBI tower single handedly. There I learnt what dreams are made of.

Started my own company named Kaizen Infotech in 1996 etched in my mind that impossible word exists only in dictionary. Kaizen means Continuous improvement and we have stuck to the policy of improving continuously in all areas of business, be it services or quality of the product delivered.

Over the years have built a company with 2000 loyal customers, focusing mainly on computer hardware, networking and maintenance contract of any type computers, laptops and peripherals.
