It was late 2009 and for a few the frustration of working with outsourcing organizations based out of India, Ukraine, Sri Lanka and Poland was becoming a disappointing experience. More often than not, there were 3 recurring issues which came up again and again. They were quality of code, the efficiency of communication and level of commitment.

The idea was that, if the company is able to tackle these and provide niche solutions to the business community, then that would be a good place to be. Knoldus chose Functional Programming as its vehicle. After being with Java for almost 20 years, Functional Programming was a very appealing choice to build the next generation of business products.

The Significance of the Name

Knol means a unit of knowledge and Dus comes from Druksh which in Sanskrit means tree. Hence, Knoldus stands for the tree of knowledge. It is an inspiration that Knoldus live with when it build products which deliver high-quality business value and share its knowledge extensively via its blogs, conferences, meetups, books, and code.
