Software Product Development

Tarun Upadhyay   //  Tarun is still just flatly amazed by the power of the Internet, its ability to level the field and help the little guy compete with the biggest organizations.

Those little guy success stories are what drags him to work every morning and he lives a small part of that little guy's dream working for hCentive.

Prior to co-founding hCentive, Tarun served as a co-founder and CTO for GlobalLogic - an outsourcing service provider for large, complex products and software - which grew from 0 to 400 engineers while he was the CTO.

Prior to Globallogic, he was co-founder and CTO of Pinelabs - an India-based provider of Loyalty and Payment solutions using Smart Cards. While Tarun was CTO, Pinelabs grew from a drawing board idea to a suite of successful products running at many fortune 500 companies handling millions of credit card transactions per day.

Tarun holds an M.S in Mathematics and Computer Applications from Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India.

The 1 book you should read about money

by tarun upadhyay
GRS has a great post about the best financial matters books: 25 Essential Books About Money: Financial Wisdom from Your Public Library I cannot do justice to his entire post here so I will urge you to go read his entire post. (And, then, go ahead and read the 25 books he recommends. It is a great list.) However, if you can only read 1 book on money, I will recommend one of the following based on your current situation
  • If you are struggling with cash flow and money and want to break free from debt: The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey
  • If you are past the cash flow stage and now interested in building good money habits that will allow you to save your first million and beyond: The Millionaire Next Door by Stanley and Danko
  • You have made your first million and feel comfortable about your earning and saving habits but now need a good plan for Investing: The Random Walk Guide to Investing by Burton Malkiel
  • You think you are doing okay on debt, making money and investing it but now its time to inculcate some good habits in your young kids then its: What Color is Your Piggy Bank? by Adelia Cellini Linecker
