With that in mind, REOFT's Penetration Testing Services team simulates a real-world attack on the client’s networks, applications, devices, and/or people to demonstrate the security level of their key systems and infrastructure and show what it will take to strengthen it.

As a start-up, REOFT also had to undergo its share of challenges in its initial days. The products which they were looking to develop is the smallest GPS Tracker ever manufactured in India and had to have even the smallest of its parts imported from China. To add to it, those parts needed to be ordered in bulk which was a problem during the prototyping phase of the product, as new electronic parts were to be tested before they could be finalized for the final product. So the team had to travel to Delhi and Mumbai several times to meet prospective sellers dealing with these specific components for its GPS tracking device. Along with this the team had to face some problem from mobile app development end too. Due to high cost of map API the aim of providing GPS tracker at a price affordable by most of the people was far away. To deal with this problem and reducing the server and map API cost the team had to make a lot of firmware and software changes in order to implement more efficient protocol.

Mr. Dharkar draws his inspiration from stories of people who have not been able to make the cut due to certain failures in their ventures. When asked regarding his advice to the upcoming start-up entrepreneurs, he simply replied, “You just need to start. People related to your field of expertise will automatically connect with you and discuss the problems they are facing. Finding a solution for them will help you start your start-up. Have courage to fail everyday!” The advice is easier said than done but in his case; Mr. Dharkar has proved that chasing dreams is not easy. “An entrepreneur needs to bring life to a concept that attracts not just him but his target audience too. Once we succeed in winning the heart of your customers, keeping ourselves committed to their expectations is a real challenge”.

Ever since the advent of the internet, the world has seen a revolution on proportions never before witnessed. Virtually anything can be done online nowadays.

One sector that has tremendously benefitted from this information revolution is the start-up scene. Today when businesses are springing up all over the place, and their success stories being told worldwide, it is no wonder that we have entrepreneurs like Mr. Prathmesh Dharkar aspiring to found start-ups.
