– Framsikt gives me the possibility to keep developing my technical skills

Helpful colleagues

–  Working with people located in different places, both in India and Norway, lets us grow as human beings as well. We have close contact with our colleagues in Norway. If we are in any doubt about how the solutions should work, they are very approachable and helpful. 

Framsikt has a yearly kickoff where the Indian and Norwegian teams get together. Because of the covid-19 pandemic, this has not been possible for the last couple of years. But this fall the whole company will be together again. The team in India is going to meet the rest of the team in Norway, at the main office located in the northern part of Norway. 

– Being connected as a team is one of the really good things about Framsikt, Venkat explains.  

 

Slowly coming back to the office

What does a normal workday look like for you? 

– I normally would work from our office in Bangalore, where I also live with my wife and child. Because of the corona situation, I have been working from home, which I still do. But we are slowly coming back to the office. I start the day by looking into stories that have been assigned to me, speaking to a few people at Framsikt about how we should approach the work we have been assigned, and then proceeding with the work. I go for regular breaks in between and often speak to our Norwegian team during the workday.  

Transparency in the company

What is the biggest difference, in your opinion, in working for a Norwegian company compared to an Indian company? 

– If we look into the Indian service-based companies, they all have the same pattern and go by the same rules. At Framsikt it’s a very different culture. There`s transparency at Framsikt between colleagues, you speak to your higher-level managers, and they appreciate your ideas. 

But also his mindset has changed since joining Framsikt, Venkat explains:

– Earlier I had a mindset that developers contribute more to the company. But it’s the business model where different entities (Sales, Marketing, Operations, Research & Development) are collectively involved that makes sure the company succeeds. This has changed my life as an individual as well.  

A good place to grow

Venkat got Framsikt recommended by his brother, and Venkat himself is in no doubt that he would recommend Framsikt as a workplace as well:

– I would absolutely recommend Framsikt as a workplace. It’s well cultured, with good standards when it comes to working, both socially and for you to grow technically. You’ll learn the different technologies that the Framsikt-system is built into and the different technologies the company works with.
