Mr. Jay Pullur had been one of the pioneers of the Indian IT industry. Mr. Pullur and his brother Vijay co-founded Pramati Technologies in 1998 and the company grew to challenge global players in the niche area of Java Application Servers. Pramati Technologies had been the first IT product oriented company in India and had been able to do so under the leadership of Mr. Jay Pullur.

Mr. Jay Pullur, who had an M.Tech in Computer Science from IIT Kanpur, took Pramati from being a David among Goliaths to a company with a global reputation that counted, among its many customers, the likes of PayPal, Morgan Stanley and ICICI Bank. In 2013, they acquired WaveMaker from VMWare to focus on web and mobile businesses — one of the earliest instances of an Indian tech company acquiring a product from a global giant.

Mr. Jay Pullur and Pramati’s success is a significant chapter in the larger story of the Indian IT Revolution. He was featured among the Icons of Indian IT. Mr. Jay Pullur focused on building ‘Individual Excellence’ and this fellowship has been instituted to promote this excellence in fond memory of him by his wife, Mrs. Nirmala Jay Pullur. He passed away at the age of 59.
