With it, GTM Catalyst Private Limited will offer local expertise and support to businesses leveraging JetBrains solutions and will also make them available for purchase in Indian Rupees.

As a JetBrains reseller channel partner, GTM Catalyst Private Limited now offers award-winning developer tools including:


1. IDE: IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, RubyMine, GoLand, AppCode, and PhpStorm.
2. Collaboration: Developers benefit from CI/CD tool TeamCity and Spaces.
3. Productivity extensions (.NET): ReSharper, dotTrace, and dotMemory.

The flagship product from JetBrains is IntelliJ IDEA, which maximizes Java developer productivity with its intelligent coding assistance and ergonomic design.

JetBrains IDE for professional developers, PyCharm can help developers using Python, the fastest growing language. For DevOps, CI/CD is supported via TeamCity which is a build management and continuous integration server from JetBrains.

Space, the recently launched all-in-one collaboration solution, provides a toolset for instant communication, software development, and team and project management.

Webinar: Starting out with aPaaS

Telerik has been at forefront of providing tools for improving developer experiences. Now, a new kind of technology is on the horizon called as aPaaS – Application Platform as a Service.

This technology enables enterprises to create better, cheaper and faster applications with very little code. This is going to be a big boost of developers who are constantly required to deliver top quality code in minimal time. This single technology can enable building visually immersive experiences across web, iOS and Android and engaging chatbots. Not just that, it provides full control over the application code and development experience for developers.

This platform is called Progress Kinvey Studio. In this webinar we will introduce what is aPaaS and Kinvey.

Telerik Products now easily available in India via India Distributor

Diwali has just passed and the festivities are dialling down. Diwali has brought changes for Telerik in India and now I write this as an evangelist for Telerik/ Progress. In this blog post, I will list the changes and attempt to clarify if it has any impact on our community:

Telerik (a part of Progress) has changed its operations structurally in India. Indian Rupee billing was number one request from businesses who found USD billing to a US entity time taking and troublesome.

Telerik products will now be sold in India in Indian Rupees only via a distributor.While this does not affect you as a developer, your accounts team and business managers would love this change due to the following:

  1. A lot less hassle in making the payments done. Earlier, they had to get multiple forms (Form 15 CA & Form 15 CB) signed from a Chartered Accounts and make the payment via a wire transfer through the bank. This could take over 4-5 days to make a single payment and accrue additional charges for the wire transfer. Now, it is a simple NEFT or a UPI transfer.
  2. Lowering cost of projects to the customers. Earlier products like Telerik DevCraft couldn’t be used to offset indirect tax liability. With the new GST regime, your accounts team can offset the tax on their project lowering the cost of the implementation for their customers in India.

Isn’t this just great?

GTM final logo_512The new distributor is GTM Catalyst for the India market. What is even better is that I will be handling this new distributor organisation. This will bring the familiarity and continuity of business for you.

You may reach GTM Catalyst team for any questions or comments at: info@gtmcatalyst.com

To allay any questions in your mind, all the Telerik products continue to be available for sales and are fully supported by Telerik/ Progress. All products are moving full steam ahead including DevCraft, Kendo UI, Telerik Platform, Telerik Reporting, Sitefinity and Test Studio. Telerik (a Progress company) will continue to release new updates on a rigorous pace and continue to provide you with benefits of the latest technologies.

The latest webinar for R3 release for Telerik controls is now available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=10&v=sxv_7RnOwVI 

Lastly, we are eager to continue our India webinar series to share our learnings with you. We will be sending the webinar schedule to you shortly with an update here.

Intelligent Process Automation is Eating the Outsourcing Cake

cogwheelprocessautomation_3310x1650-1024x510The IT revolution in India started with a need met by offshoring. The expensive human resources were replaced with cheaper human beings in another country.

With advent of new technology, the low end offshoring is finding their cake being eaten by an invisible opponent. This is visible in the lower revenues being forecasted by major Indian SIs. Somehow, the amount of outsourcing that the firms were doing earlier is not continuing. Intelligent Process Automation may be to be blamed. Continue reading

Demonetisation and Support by Progress Technologies

500currencynoteThe demonetisation of INR 500 and INR 1000 currency notes sent a shock wave across India. While people have been facing inconvenience because of this, the majority believe that this is an important step in clearing out our economy from the evils of “black” or unaccounted money.

The general implication is that the banking industry will attract huge deposits from CASA. This will enable better liquidity in the market leading to lower interest rates and improved business investments. Softening of inflation due to reduced monetary supply is also likely. Continue reading
