In conversation with Shaishav Singh, Managing Director, Dotcad Pvt. Ltd.

Shaishav Singh attributes the success of Dotcad’s long-standing partnership with HPE to three main factors: maturity of engineering, depth of portfolio, and a channel-driven DNA. "These elements come together to create a compelling value proposition for us and our clients," Singh says.

He sees significant potential in HPE's focus on "everything as a service." He believes this approach is transforming the industry and positioning HPE as a leader in the private and hybrid cloud landscape. "The story is playing out, and I believe HPE will soon be one of the strongest players in this space, if not already."Singh highlights the unique work culture at HPE, characterized by trust and a strong partnership fabric.

"HPE’s culture is distinct in the industry, with team members embodying this ethos. Our relationship with HPE spans three decades, and any issues that arise are swiftly corrected."

However, HPE's prominence in the industry also comes with challenges, particularly in staying competitive on pricing. "HPE is a large target for competition, and being price competitive can put undue pressure on the entire ecosystem," Singh explains. However, he views these challenges as opportunities. "Sometimes, this pressure allows us to upsellor leverage the portfolio depth to offer alternative methods of consumption that deliver acceptable results."

For businesses considering partnering with HPE, Singh offers clear advice: "Commit to HPE’s strengths, align with their strategy, invest in the necessary skills, and choose your battles wisely. Commitment is always rewarded."

HPE is a company that consistently focuses on engineering. They have decades of experience in designing products and innovating with technological advances. This DNA runs through the company and coupled with a hawk-eye on customer demands for evolving technologies, partnering with HPE was the most logical choice.

Shaishav Singh truly believes that in an ever-evolving industry, staying updated is crucial. For Dotcad, this means significant investments in training, certifications, and engaging with global forums and HPE leadership. "These efforts ensure we remain ahead of the curve and are able to serve our clients effectively," Singh says.

Singh’s approach to leadership is grounded in continuous learning and a balance between work and personal life. "Life throws up many lessons, and those from personal life can positively influence work and vice-versa.? The mind must remain open and receptive to inputs, experiences, and learning," he notes. This philosophy, combined with a passion for family, reading, and music, contributes to his effectiveness as a leader.

Under Singh’s leadership, Dotcad continues to thrive, leveraging its long-standing partnership with HPE to deliver innovative solutions and drive digital transformation across industries. As they look to the future, Dotcad is poised to remain a key player in the tech landscape, with HPE as a trusted partner.
