Below is an excerpt from CIO Insider’s exclusive interview with Uday Desai, Founder and CEO of V-Align Technologies.

What core values guide your commitment to delivering exceptional services?

The core values that guide our commitment are determination, risk-taking, client-centricity, productivity, integrity, and loyalty. Our team is highly determined and resilient, ensuring that customer solutions are implemented quickly and effectively. We embrace calculated risks, leveraging our expertise to provide innovative solutions where others may struggle.

Being client-conscious is central to our approach, and we have automated processes across marketing, delivery, and account management to enhance responsiveness and productivity. Integrity and loyalty are demonstrated both internally and externally, as reflected in our low employee attrition and longstanding customer relationships alike - some spanning over a decade. These values create a strong binding force, helping us consistently meet customer requirements and sustain excellence in service delivery.

How does V-Align Technologies strategically combine technology, processes, and human expertise to drive business growth?

V-Align Technologies accelerates clients’ business growth by combining intelligent systems, structured processes, and deep human expertise. We serve a wide range of industries including manufacturing, trading, technology, financial services, retail, NGOs, startups, and many more.

With over 15 years of domain knowledge embedded in AI-powered tools, we deliver fast, tailored solutions that meet specific business needs. Execution is led by experienced delivery owners and project managers who ensure alignment and momentum across every phase.

Structured processes- including steering Committees, milestone definitions requirement collection, and reusable components- enable efficient implementation and reduce ambiguity. Zoho applications support rapid onboarding, reinforced by video manuals and peer reviews to maintain quality and consistency.

What Sets V-Align Technologies Apart?

V-Align Technologies sets itself apart by adopting a disciplined approach that ensures higher project quality and long-term success. Our commitment to precision and integration is reflected in our excellence in requirement management, where we prioritize project success through systematic validation and open communication.

We employ a structured quality deployment model to enable faster, complexity-free enterprise application implementations and rollouts. Additionally, we simplify application integration by seamlessly connecting Zoho tools with third-party systems, apps, and custom solutions, backed by a world class support team dedicated to delivering outstanding customer experiences.

Beyond deep expertise in Zoho products, V-Align Technologies also boasts technical depth spanning full stack development, data science, and AI engineering, with knowledge across diverse functional domains. We leverage automated data migration capabilities powered by RPA, ensuring high accuracy and reduced turnaround time. This comprehensive expertise and innovative approach empower us to deliver breakthrough digital transformations, streamline operations, and boost efficiency for clients worldwide across multiple industries and regions.

How has the company integrated RPA and AI into Zoho implementations?

We have successfully integrated RPA and AI into Zoho implementations to enhance efficiency. For example, a large financial services company reduced a standard processing time from 18 days to 1.5 days by utilizing our RPA expertise.

They were able to automate legacy system tasks that were previously handled by four people over 15 days per month. In another project spanning 23 US locations, we migrated several terabytes of 20-year-old legacy financial data into Zoho Creator, utilizing RPA to efficiently extract, clean, format, and transfer the data.

Additionally, we have developed AI-enabled tools, including chatbots, to provide clients with detailed guidance on Zoho CRM and solution implementation. By anticipating AI trends two years ahead, we built in-house expertise to deliver global implementations across 20 countries.

Could you provide an overview of the leadership and key team members who drive the company’s success?

V-Align Technologies' success is driven by a skilled leadership and delivery team. Pranaam Appaji, trained in consultative selling, is our Director of International Sales and a shareholder with 14 years of Zoho expertise. Christ Bellarmine, who started as a trainee, is now the Technical Director, one of the top Zoho developers in India, and a shareholder with 12+ years of Zoho expertise. Irshad Pasha, Vice President of Technology, oversees delivery, while Sudheendra Murthy, ex Accenture, now serves as COO, driving internal innovation.

The marketing team has played a pivotal role in expanding V-Align Technologies' brand awareness and global footprint across Africa, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Our experienced delivery owners currently manage over 70 enterprise accounts, including a growing portfolio of international clients.

With a team of 85 employees and a 35 percent annual growth rate, V-Align Technologies is on track to scale to over 220 employees and position itself among the top five global Zoho partners within the next two to three years.

Going forward, how do you plan to guide clients to leverage emerging technologies?

As an organization, we are fully equipped with RPA and AI capabilities, allowing us to provide clients with rapid, plug-and-play solutions with foresight to automate their business processes. This readiness positions us ahead in the market, enabling us to take on new opportunities immediately.

Our partnership with Zoho has dedicated thousands of professionals exclusively to AI and future technologies. Combined with our own expertise and proven track record in AI and RPA projects, we are well-prepared to guide customers in leveraging these technologies effectively. This ensures that we remain a trusted and forwardlooking partner within the Zoho ecosystem.
