The profound expertise springing from more than two and a half decades of experience in the information technology space, coupled with the creative visionary in him, inspired Girish M Sharangpani to establish GMS Knowledge Labs Private Limited.

In a chat with our editorial team, Mr. Sharangpani speaks about what fueled his desire for entrepreneurship, "I have always believed that the true aesthetic of creativity is about thinking unique, out of the box, within the parameters of limited resources.
With creativity and simplicity as our foundation, we assist people from all walks of life to write their user stories, create unique and scalable solutions, and create interactive and effective e-Learning modules for their products and software applications.
This was only possible if I had it my way, and not by working for someone, and this encouraged the ideation of Knowledge Labs in the spring of 2007.
The company launched its operations in the winter of 2012. Our tagline 'Transforming information into knowledge,' is the fundamental element of our work philosophy."

The technological solutions would be developed (probably for the first time in India) and deployed at various campuses to create an extraordinary learning experience for the students.
We have built a unique Web Portal (www.p3r.in) specifically for the research community in India and the world over. This kind of portal is useful for every scientist, every researcher, and even a post-doctoral student to take their research to the world sooner."
