Company Background
When Kris Canekeratne and a small team of co-founders established Virtusa
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 software product development landscape. Virtusa's
founders 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
time to market and the ability to empower leading software companies to
accelerate their product development initiatives.
