Kailash Jain was an Ex-Pinstormer who quit Pinstorm when his family relocated to Bangalore. After having worked in a different company for a while, he has returned to us with a story to tell…
I came to Mumbai in September 2006 and joined Pinstorm: one of the fastest growing companies in India, where I worked for almost a year and half. It is here that I got to work on a lot of challenging work for the technical department. This was also the same place that gave me a 70% increment in my first ever appraisal. Having worked in other companies, I now know that Pinstorm is perhaps the only company that discusses business implications of the tools we develop in the Tech Department. We are also among the few companies that develop their own business tools internally on Open Source platforms.
In March, 2008 I had to leave Pinstorm due to my family relocating to Bangalore. Once there, I joined one of India’s leading online gaming portals as a software developer. During the induction session there, the CEO of the company was surprised to know I had quit Pinstorm.
From the time I shifted to Bangalore, I was always looking for new and challenging work, similar to what I did at Pinstorm. I planned to leave the company and was searching for other jobs in Bangalore when I realised that there is only one place I really want to be. I then spoke to colleagues in Pinstorm who agreed to have me back.
It’s great to be back in Pinstorm and I am happy to see that nothing else has changed apart from the number of people.
Here is wishing Kailash a very hearty “welcome back!!†from all of us here at Pinstorm.
