Unmesh Sheth

CEO & Founder of SoPact

Unmesh is a founder of Sopact (https://www.sopact.com). He has over 30 years of experience in the software industry. At Silicon Valley's leading startup, TIBCO, he began his career as a software architect. He created the first enterprise software adapter, which spawned the now billions of dollar enterprise integration market. From a modest family in India, he rose through the corporate ladder and left his corporate career in 2010 to work with segments at the bottom of the pyramid. As an independent thinker, Unmesh uncovered massive data disparities, and solutions were time-consuming and not scalable.
