When Kris Canekeratne together with a small team of co-founders
established Virtusa (originally called
Technology Providers) in 1996, the goal was to provide engineers
in South Asia an opportunity to explore the outer limits of
emerging technologies by participating in the rapidly evolving
US product development landscape. They leveraged knowledge
sharing across geographies, explored new technology platforms
and tapped into the potential of global collaboration, for
building mission critical products. Success hinged on the
time to market factor and the ability to empower leading software
companies to accelerate their product development initiatives.
In a short period of time, Virtusa was able to achieve the
ability to:
- Attract some of the finest engineering talent in the world.
- Build global processes to handle the rigors of product development (the most exacting form of software development).
- Take advantage of engineering best-practices to de-risk software development.
- Extend the workday to a 24-hour virtual cycle.
Virtusa's proprietary software execution framework, ‚Distributed
Innovation VelocityTM(DIV), institutionalizes engineering
best-practices and takes global collaboration to a higher
level of performance, virtualizing software execution from
the shores of Boston, USA, to Sri Lanka and India, providing
customers with competitive advantages -- the ability to compress
time-to-market, eliminate risk, improve predictability and
build products and applications more cost-effectively.

From the outset, Virtusaís mission was to provide
next generation technology and innovation services to its

ability to attract and retain the best talent. Virtusaís
