May 8, 2026

Software development is going through one of its biggest shifts since cloud computing and DevOps became mainstream. For many years, engineering teams improved delivery through Agile, CI/CD, cloud-native architecture, automation, and DevOps culture. These practices helped teams move faster, but much of the software development life cycle still depended heavily on manual effort, fragmented tools, […]

Brand and Brand Image Perceptions in Software Services and Products

September 29, 2025

Why Brand Matters During my Executive Management Program at IIM Ahmedabad, one of the most memorable sessions was on brand and brand image. The core idea was simple yet powerful: 👉 Customers don’t buy a product; they buy the perception, the emotions, and the promises attached to it. The faculty illustrated this with the story […]
