The Journey Continues: Lessons from 14 Years of Building and Leading
Mohan Natarajan
Practice Leader, Intrapreneur at Klizer | Simplifying Business Processes for Manufacturers & Distributors
February 21, 2011—A date that marked the beginning of an incredible journey. Fourteen years ago, I joined DCKAP as a Software Engineer, not knowing then that this organization would become such an integral part of my life and career. Time has flown by, and as I reflect on this journey, one thing stands out—culture.
Over the years, many have asked me what makes me stay. The answer is simple: the culture we have built, nurtured and evolved at DCKAP and now Klizer . A culture of trust, collaboration, and continuous learning. A culture that challenges you to grow while providing unwavering support along the way.
From those early days of learning Magento Open Source to leading Klizer today, this journey has been nothing short of transformative. I’ve had the privilege of wearing multiple hats—from developer to architect, from heading Magento extensions to leading services. Each phase came with its own challenges, learnings, and milestones.
There have been defining moments along the way—organizing the first Chennai Magento Meetup in 2014, launching the DCKAP Store, speaking at Magento Imagine, being recognized as a top Magento contributor, and leading major enterprise projects. Each of these experiences shaped my understanding of leadership, teamwork, and the power of persistence.

One of the most pivotal moments was the transition from DCKAP Services to Klizer. Leading Klizer has been an enriching experience, and I’m incredibly proud of the team and the impact we continue to make in the eCommerce space. Thanks to Karthik Chidambaram , Founder and CEO of DCKAP for the opportunity and trust.
I owe a great deal of gratitude to everyone who has been part of this journey—colleagues who have become friends, clients who have trusted us, and partners who have collaborated with us. Your support, feedback, and belief in our work have been instrumental in this growth.
As I step into another year, I look forward to new challenges, new learnings, and new milestones. The journey continues with Klizer , and I’m excited about what lies ahead.
Here’s to building, growing, and achieving more together!
