About Krishagni

Back Story

Krishagni was founded in 2009 by Srikanth Adiga. In the early years, we dabbled in building a Clinic Management Software for doctors in India and failed. We also did software services for helping a few universities in USA in developing software for clinical research.

Since 2012, we have single-mindedly focussed on building OpenSpecimen. OpenSpecimen is  our flagship product which is today used in 80+ customers in 20+ countries. 

Customers

Our customers range from individual research groups with 1-5 users to large enterprise-wide adoptions across multiple research groups, studies, 100s of users, and millions of specimens. The quality of our product and support is evidenced by the fact that we have been working with many of our customers for the past 5-10 years.

 

Team

We are a ~20 people company established in 2009 with headquarters in Pune (Maharashtra). Since COVID, we are primarily a remote company with many of our employees permanently WFH outside Pune.
 
We are a "small team" by design. 
A lean team helps us to focus on quality and being agile & nimble to  customer needs. We grow our team slowly and organically, primarily hiring freshers and mentoring them over the years. We work in a flat 
hierarchy, zero politics with focus on employee work/life balance, and physical and mental well being.

Vision and Culture

We operate a bit differently compared to most other software companies. 

Quality over Speed: One of the key message we keep giving our employees is to slow down. Focus on one thing at a time. It is more important to be correct than be first. 

Less is More: Be it be team size or adding new features to product – doing less but doing it right is more important. 

Focus: We are single-product company with sole focus on making it the best in its industry. Such focus gives us the bandwidth to make the product robust and ensure that our customers are happy.

Continous Learning:  We encourage our employees to continously learn new things that will help upskill and further their career. Towards this, we sponsor training programs, books, and conduct company wide sessions by external consultants.

Fitness: We believe a healthy and fit employee is a happy employee. We sponsor monthly yoga or gym allowances, weekly badminton sessions, sponsor group treks, etc.
