Code of Ethics
As an iSPIRT Maven, I facilitate PlaybookRTs, PNGrowth and Bootcamps. This is part of my pay-it-forward commitment to make India a Product Nation. At no point in time, I expect any payback for this from any participating startups in any form, including advisory or sweat equity.
My selfless contribution is for a cause larger than myself. I hope to set an example so that the volunteers/entrepreneurs that I touch embrace the pay-it-forward spirit too.
Impassioned volunteers bringing iSPIRT initiatives to their community

"The entire ISODA community has noted and received news of formation of ISPIRT with great enthusiasm and anticipation.
I take this opportunity, on behalf of ISODA management and member community, to congratulate you all on this new initiative. We wish you great success and hope that with the help of ISPIRT, many new success stories will be seen in near future for software product companies in India, giving a boost to our industry and economy.
We also take great pride that some of our members are the founding fathers of ISPIRT.
Congratulations and Best Wishes.
Thank You."
Biren Shah, ISODA, Chairman
“iSPIRT is a much needed initiative for fast growing product ecosystem in India. Non linear growth, while is the new buzzword, we need on the ground catalysts to foster such growth and collaborate with universities, government and corporates to create a conducive environment to make this happen. Right initiative at the right time!”
Pinkesh Shah, Director of Programs, Institute of Product Leadership
“Following its exemplary success in the IT Services and BPO areas over the last three decades, the Indian software industry has another unique opportunity to create global impact with Software Products. Having had the experience of leading i-flex, the first global success story for “Made in India” Software Products, I have always believed that the Indian IT industry can scale even higher peaks with such innovation. As a close observer of this industry, I see a lot of positive momentum and promise, especially in the recent past. A think-tank like iSPIRT is certainly long overdue, and I sincerely hope that a sound policy framework will emerge from this initiative, that will help encourage and nurture this industry in the future. I wish you all the best.”
Rajesh Hukku, Former CEO and Chairman, i-flex solutions
“Congratulations on the launch of iSPIRT! It’s a fantastic initiative to grow and sustain the Indian product ecosystem. A national think-tank body is exactly what we need for the community to drive even bigger influence in the business and technology arenas that exist in the country today. IPMA is delighted to contribute to the promising influence of products through excellence in product management practices in this endeavor.”
Ravi Padaki, Founder, India Product Management Association
