Our Story.
"From Our Roots to Our Rise"
It all began with the shared vision of two remarkable individuals, Naga and Agie, who dared to dream differently. In 2009, our visionary founders joined forces to establish SPAN, with a team of just 7 dedicated individuals. With Naga's unparalleled expertise in technology, boasting over 30 years of industry experience, and Agie's prowess in marketing and customer support, SPAN was born as a fusion of innovation & ingenuity.
From the outset, we chose to blaze our own trail, eschewing traditional funding avenues in favour of self reliance. SPAN was built ground up, fueled by the sheer determination and personal investment of our founders.
Our inaugural office, a modest 10x10 room in Rock Hill, South Carolina, served as the cradle of our ambitions. Meanwhile, our development center in Chennai hummed with the energy of our dedicated team of seven.
Fast Forward to today, and SPAN has blossomed into a thriving enterprise, with 450 talented individuals driving innovation across 3 expansive development centers in India. Our journey from humble beginnings to our current heights is a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence and relentless pursuit of growth"
