Very few industries have flourished in Mysuru as the city is considered not that conducive to economic growth. In such a scenario, to set up a software unit at a time when hardly anyone had heard about the word ‘Software’ takes some guts to do.
This is exactly what the low-key, publicity shy and Mysuru-homegrown man D. Sudhanva did. He along with his father, legendary educationist, Prof. M.H. Dhananjaya setup the first software company ‘Excelsoft Technologies’ more than two decades ago and the company has grown from strength to strength. They have also set up Excel Public School.
