The
image, the name and fame that the company enjoys today is thanks
to its founder, Mr. Viren Satra, the man who began his career as
a videographer way back in the 80s. The starting point of it all
was the realization that videographers needed to have some software
that would make the task of titling in regional languages much easier
that what it was at that time.
It was around the same time that Panasonic launched
its mixer MX 10. But by that time, other companies too had introduced
various mixers in the market but when it came to titling, there
was only popular product - Spectrum. But sadly, even this posed
problems when it came to titling in regional languages. Mr. Satra
also felt the need to have a more user-friendly video mixer, as
well as a necessity to put stock-shots as background, but felt handicapped
as he could not find any solution for this.
Finally, it was in the year 1993 that he came
across a product known as Amiga. He found it so convenient and effective
that he, himself decided to introduce it in the videography market.
But introducing this product turned to be not an easy task as he
had thought! However, after the initial hiccups, the product proved
to be a big hit... and fonts in regional languages as well as background
stock-shots were also introduced around the same time. Soon after
the launch of this product, he ventured into software development and this proved to be the major turning point of his career... because
after that, there was no looking back for this visionary man.
