Gautam Rege has over twelve years of experience in software development. He is a Computer Engineer from Pune Institute of Computer Technology, Pune, India. After graduating in 2000, he worked in various Indian software development companies until 2002, after which, he settled down in Veritas Software (now Symantec). After five years there, his urge to start his own company got the better of him and he started Josh Software Private Limited along with his long time friend Sethupathi Asokan, who was also in Veritas.
He is currently the Managing Director at Josh Software Private Limited. Josh in Hindi (his mother tongue) means "enthusiasm" or "passion" and these are the qualities that the company culture is built on. Josh Software Private Limited works exclusively in Ruby and Ruby related technologies, such as Rails — a decision Gautam and Sethu (as he is lovingly called) took in 2007 and it has paid rich dividends today!
