About Gaea

Co-Founder, CEO

Sury is a bit of a Renaissance man. Along with Amin, he steers the course of the company. But he also heads up the sales and marketing efforts. And on occasion, you’ll even find him writing code. There’s little Sury can’t do.

He studied at the University Of Arizona and earned a Master of Science in Systems and Industrial Engineering. Before growing Gaea into a flourishing technology solutions provider, Sury held positions at Primavera and EXE Technologies.

Sury believes Gaea is poised to help its clients revolutionize their industries. Technology is enabling some amazing new possibilities. And Gaea is helping its clients lead that charge.

But Sury is emphatic that people know Gaea isn’t just focused on technology. Anyone can sell short-term solutions that plug technology gaps, he stresses. Gaea, though, targets long-term success by assessing business processes and revealing opportunities that clients never even knew existed.

For Sury, the thing that stands out most in his mind isn’t a particular customer success or company milestone. It’s the people he works with. Gaea has assembled a collection of individuals who are all committed to achieving the same goals. As a result, they’ve accomplished many things that make him proud.

Co-Founder, President

Amin is our supply-chain expert. In the big picture, he and Sury serve as the backbone of Gaea. But on a day-to-day basis, Amin manages the logistics and supply-chain side of the company’s business.

He studied at University of Wyoming and earned a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering. Before founding Gaea, he held positions at Oracle and EXE Technologies.

Ask Amin about the industries Gaea serves, and he’ll mention that they have a great need for technology thought leaders. The problems these industries face are complex. And solving them requires an uncommon blend of industry experience and technical innovation. The people at Gaea, he says, fill that void.

He’s also quick to point out that nobody knows Oracle project management and supply-chain products like Gaea. That’s because Gaea’s team helped build those products. In fact, when Oracle clients have complicated challenges, Gaea is typically the place that Oracle sends them.

Amin has a story he tells that nicely sums up Gaea’s philosophy. During early talks with Integra Life Sciences, Amin told Integra’s leadership that they didn’t need Gaea. Amin believes if you always do what’s right for the customer, things will work out. It probably won’t surprise you, but after Amin spoke up in that meeting, Integra hired Gaea on the spot.

Co-Founder, COO

Karun manages all of the things that manage Gaeas projects — the people, the resources, the timelines, and the logistics. Ultimately, he’s the person who makes sure every job is done right and delivered on time.

Karun received his Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology. From there, he traveled to Palo Alto, California where he earned his Master’s in Electrical Engineering (Networking & Systems) from Stanford University.

Karun has been involved with Gaea since the very beginning. And even though he’s not one of the original founders, Amin and Sury make him feel like one. He is intimately involved with the direction of the company, and that gives him all the motivation he needs.

Karun points out that Gaea doesn’t do everything. The company will never pretend to be something it’s not. And the team won’t take on a project simply to earn a dollar. On the other hand, Karun adds, if you look at the things Gaea does do, you’ll see they do them better than anyone.

Clients check in with Karun on a regular basis. But one call he received was particularly noteworthy. When he picked it up, the customer began to bend Karun’s ear about how much difficulty they were encountering with all of their technology partners. Except for Gaea. According to the customer, Gaea was the one provider who delivered without a hitch.

VP, Supply Chain Services

Vishy spots supply chain opportunities, manages projects, ensuries their successful implementation, and helps guide the strategic course of the division. In short, Vishy makes sure Gaea lives up to its reputation for delivering exceptional solutions and services.

Vishy didn’t begin his career in technology. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering at Birla Institute of Technology & Science. He then went on to earn his Master’s in Chemical Engineering at Ohio University. He found his way into technology while working as a development manager at Oracle.

At Gaea, Vishy feels free to explore unconventional approaches, free to promote his ideas, and free to speak his mind. And it’s the freedom, he says, that produces the remarkable results delivered to all of Gaea’s clients.

Vishy says Gaea helps clients improve their business. Some partners are very good at selling products, and they sell a lot of them. Others have standard methodologies that they adhere to. But Gaea employs a more flexible approach. Ask him, and Vishy will describe in detail how Gaea studies clients’ practices and processes to discover how technology can help them reach their goals.

Vishy led the team responsible for deploying the world’s largest WMS implementation. But it wasn’t merely the extent of Huawei’s WMS that gave Vishy great satisfaction. It was taking on a project bigger that anything they’d ever done before, and finding a way to meet the challenge.
