Nitin Ahuja, Founder and CEO

Nitin Ahuja is founder, chairman, and CEO of Entercoms and its parent company ECMi. He started his career at Xerox, where as indirect channels manager he led one of the first successful engineering outsourcing projects to India.

In 1995 he founded Anavidere Technologies and refined the business model of offshore product development combined with US-based implementation and support services. Anavidere was one of the first companies to use the ASP model, providing hosted warehouse management software to small and mid-sized businesses. Because of its innovative hosted software model and the value of the additional services it offered, Anavidere was acquired by a leading provider of warehouse management applications. Nitin then founded ECMi in 2001 to develop applications for collaborative performance management in supply chains. As ECMi expanded to meet its partners' demands for custom enterprise application development and delivery services, this soon became a major focus for the company and the genesis of Entercoms.
