History
Mastek (Management and Software Technologies) was founded in May 1982[4] by Ashank Desai, Ketan Mehta and R. Sundar.[5] They were later joined by the current Managing Director and Group CEO of the company, Sudhakar Ram. The company started operations in a two-bedroom apartment in Ghatkopar, a central Mumbai suburb, which was also the home of Ketan Mehta.
The company was among the first ones in India to create software products. Mastek USA (now known as MajescoMastek) was established in 1992. Mastek became the first company to develop Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) in India and also the first Indian IT company that got listed at premium price. Mastek UK was established in 1992 and two years later, in 1994, Mastek set up its subsidiary in Malaysia.[6] In 2007, it ranked 11th among the leaders of Global Outsourcing 100 Companies by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals published in Fortune magazine (April 2007) – Recognition for ‘Methodologies and Innovation’ adopted by Mastek. In 2008, Mastek Limited bought Systems Task Group (STG), an international provider of enterprise solutions for the property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry, in an all-cash consideration of $29 million (Rs. 116 crore). In 2010, Mastek acquired Kognitio Data Migration Offering and also the assets of SEG Software, LLC.[7][8][9]
In September 2014, Mastek decided to split into two companies. Majesco that will handle the insurance business and Mastek that will take care of solutions business.[1]
