Imagine a software that can track business development activities of sales people, reports of customer interactions and the effectiveness of marketing initiatives. A software helping to collaborate between employees, partners and customers in which even people outside the organization could be safely given a login access. That software could have only one name and that is Salesforce, the ultimate collaboration tool. According to the 2016 Forbes ranking, it is regarded as the second most innovative company in the world and is now the 7th most in-demand software skill. In India, the Salesforce community is growing fast and holds huge potential with user groups and developer groups being nurtured in different regions.

The Intellect behind the Innovation
Shivanath Devinarayanan, CEO and Chief Ninja of Dazeworks, is a complete technocrat, and a serial entrepreneur. He owes his inspiration to technology since childhood to Dexter, a popular cartoon character and his unfathomable love for Salesforce to Jeff Douglas.
He took the less-trodden path of APEX instead of C# at a time when Salesforce was not trending in India. Thanks to an experience of working with a client, while working as a C# developer in his first job, he shifted his focus to Salesforce and eventually never looked back. During his term at his second job post, Shivanath successfully interfaced with 50 clients, at the same time using the Salesforce platform. It was here that he understood the art of business and started looking at the business side of things. He learnt a lot from just working with Apex and learned the importance of Salesforce community.
The highlight of his career came when he joined Groupon where he was engaged with a project that involved 28 countries merging two Salesforce organizations into one large international organization. Shivanath credits the success of that complex project to his four enthusiastic team members and the Salesforce platform.
Shivanath gives back to the Salesforce community that provided and still provides immense support to him, by contributing answers over the forums and by leading multiple Force.com webinars.
His interactions with Salesforce MVPs and successful business heads at the Dreamforce events gave birth to the idea of Dazeworks and realized his dreams of being an entrepreneur. He is in awe with his current team at Dazeworks and the entire Salesforce community.
