Meet Manish!

We love to showcase the awesome people who work here at 729 Solutions because they are more than just great employees – they are creative and interesting people! Today we spoke with Manish, a 729er who like most of us, wears many hats in his role here as a Developer. He is one of our Certified Zendesk Administrator’s who has worked on many custom Guide and Support Configuration projects. He is also well versed in front end development using HTML/CSS and several CRMs.

While many of our developers are self-taught, that’s not the case for Manish! He holds a Master of Computer Applications (MCA) degree from Rohtak University as well as a Bachelor of Science degree from HNB Garhwal University.

Manish lives in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India with his family, and has been working in the software industry since 2007.

I am happy to be a part of the 729 team! I like the way project management and communication with clients is handled. Guidance from our leadership makes our assignments clear and efficient.

What are your hobbies?

I like to travel, especially within my state Uttarakhand – which is known as Simply Heaven. There are a lot of places where you can visit here, and I’ve been to many of them, like Mussoorie (Queen of hills), Nainital, Rishikesh (Yoga center & Himalayan trekking), Haridwar, Auli, Ranikhet, Valley Of flowers (Chamoli), Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, Yamunotri, Bhimtal, Lansdowne, Chopta, Munsyari & Mana. Apart from Uttarakhand, I like visiting other places in India like Kerala and Kanyakumari.
 
I also love to listen to Bollywood music and independent Punjabi songs!
