James Edward Allchin: An Epitome of Talent and Intellect

Founder, start-up, Story, Tech Story / By

Music and software, does not go along, right? And will it be believable, if we say, one of the most prominent software engineers in the world, James Edward Allchin, is also known for his awesome music compositions. Though he was always into music, Allchin had never thought that he will be one of the key members working on the most famous software inventions of the world, and one day, Microsoft will roam behind him to hire him. Most of our passions get suppressed under the sheer need of sustenance and livelihood, but it was Allchin’s passion and efforts that made him work through all the difficulties.

Early life

Jim Allchin was born in 1951 in Grand Rapids, Michigan but soon the family shifted to Keysville, Florida. He was definitely not from a financially predominant family, and his parents worked on a farm. They lived in a small house with a tin roof, far from the city and surrounded by only farmlands and phosphate mines. They didn’t even have enough money to paint the walls. Due to the poor financial condition, Allchin and his older brother started working on the farm from an early age. They often had to miss school to collect strawberries, okra etc. for supporting the family for daily needs.

Allchin grew interested in music when he was a kid and kept delving deeper into the musical world until he created his own euphony. The first musical instrument he got was a trumpet when he was a teenager, and later, he saved money to buy an acoustic guitar. Allchin drew inspiration for playing the instruments, mainly, from the Blues, Latin players, and the other popular players of his time. He played at many studios and travelled with bands to different places. He started writing songs, and at times, he played for more than sixteen hours a day. And, through this entire short-term journey, he came across great musicians and learnt that ‘both, hard work and luck, matter to achieve success’. After leading a vagabond life for a few months, he resumed his schooling, but to keep in touch with music, he gave music lessons at a junior college.

Since none of his parents got the opportunity to go to school, they wanted both their sons to graduate. Initially, Allchin wasn’t much interested in schooling and spent most of his time practising the guitar, but he had a special niche for mathematics. Life started changing when he finally pursued Electrical Engineering at the University of Florida, but he dropped out to play in more bands. But, he somehow managed to graduate in the year 1973, with a BS in Computer Science, from the university.

Higher studies and career

Soon after graduating, Allchin joined Texas Instruments, where he helped building operating systems. After this, he helped out a former lecturer to open his own company, and then, he took another job in Dallas, Texas. After a few years, he decided to complete his Masters from Stanford University, and that’s where his life took a new turn.

Allchin was completely engrossed in computer science and discrete mathematics and graduated with a degree of MS in Computer science in 1980. But this was not the end. The teenage boy, who once dropped out to pursue music, ended up pursuing PhD at Georgia Institute of Technology. He was highly interested in programming, especially, the object-oriented operating system and did his research related to it. He, finally, published his thesis, ‘An Architecture for Reliable Decentralized Systems’.

After receiving his PhD, Allchin started working for Banyan in 1983 and continued for seven years. He got rapid promotions, and soon, he became the Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of the company. He created some astounding operating systems there, which included the StreetTalk directory protocol.

Bill Gates literally required one long year to convince this computer pundit to join Microsoft, and finally, succeeded to hire him in 1990.

Allchin and Microsoft

Allchin was an expert in creating networks, software and debugging systems. He was initially given the duty of rebuilding LAN Manager, but later, he decided that it needed a fresh start. He received his first conspicuous project, Cairo, in 1991, when Bill Gates decided to add more advanced software to Windows NT and create the next version of the operating system. In July 1992, Allchin gave a presentation about the next generation of Microsoft operating system at the NT Developer Conference. One of the main goals of Cairo was to make the files easily accessible to the users. It was released in an array of successive operating systems.

After that Allchin created new server organization and mainly focused on the business market which provoked the ire of Vice President Brad Silverberg, who aimed at developing personal computer market. In 1999, the company restructured itself, and a single operating system division was formed. Allchin became the Vice President of this new group. After he came into power, the business expanded with an increasing number of clients. His biggest success was creating the company’s server business from scratch, which is majorly responsible for its huge success.

In 2002, Allchin was diagnosed with cancer. So, he took a leave of absence. Though he was fully recovered by 2003, he didn’t plan to stay in Microsoft for long. He retired from Microsoft at the end of 2006.

Musical Career

After he left Microsoft, he devoted pretty much of his time to music and performing charity. His first album, Enigma was released in 2009 followed by Overclocked in 2011. A few more albums were released after this and were also featured in iTunes.

He is a true inspiration for all of us. He came from nothing and established himself both as a prominent programmer, and a devoted musician. He still continues to learn, write songs and definitely code!

Rolls-Royce : Success Story Of A Motor Car Brand That Over a Century Old

Founder, start-up, Story, Tech Story / By

Rolls-Royce, a renowned motor car company, established in 1904, has been through many phases of accomplishments both alone and in a joint venture with other superior automobile companies around the world.

The two masterminds behind this colossal empire, Henry Royce and Charles Rolls met each other in May 1994, after Royce built his first motor car. With the partnership of a majestic car designer and an aviation pioneer, the company started producing the best cars world has ever witnessed.

Henry Royce

Sir Frederick Henry Royce was born in Alwalton, Huntingdonshire on 27 March 1863. He was an engineer and a car designer by occupation. Since his father died, when he was very young, there was always a financial crisis in the family. But luckily, Royce along with Ernest Claremont started a business of electric fittings, in 1884 with some of their savings. And, by the next decade, the company started building dynamos and electric cranes, when the idea of motor car company struck Royce’s mind. He was so fixated on the idea that he built his own motor car in 1904, which eventually, led to the meeting between him and Rolls.

Charles Rolls

Charles Stewart Rolls was born in Berkeley Square, London on 27 August 1877. He was a motor car promoter and an aviator by occupation. Since a very young age, Charles was interested in developing engines, so he studied mechanical and applied science from Trinity College. Apart from engineering, he had the skills of a true businessman. In January 1903, he established one of Britain’s first car dealership, his father being the capital investor. Engaging himself into the business world resulted at the beginning of an era when he co-founded Rolls-Royce.

History of Rolls-Royce

The beginning of the tale dates back to 4th May 1904, when these two men met at the Midland Hotel, Manchester, through Henry Edmunds, a friend of Charles Rolls. In 23rd December 1904, both of them settled to an agreement and decided the trading name of their company, i.e. Rolls-Royce. In the same month, the first car of Rolls-Royce, Rolls-Royce 10 hp, was launched at the Paris Salon. In March 1906, Rolls-Royce Limited was formed with Royce as the chief engineer and works director, while Rolls managed the financial section of the business. In the same year, the six-cylinder Silver Ghost was released, which then, gained immense popularity and was known as ‘the best car in the world’. By 1907, the company started receiving awards for the exquisite design engineering that increased the reliability of the cars. The partnership ended with the death of Rolls in 1910.

In the year 1914, in response to the First World War, Royce started designing aero engines. And the first aero engine- Eagle. It was the first engine that motorized the first flight from England to Australia. In October 1928, Royce started designing the ‘R’ engine, and within a span of one year, the ‘R’ engine set a new record of airspeed (357.7 miles per hour). This led to the winning of Schneider Trophy in 1929. In 1931, the ‘R’ engine established a new world record of speed 400 miles per hour. In 1933, Royce launched PV-12, and the first test of this engine was completed in 1934, one year after Royce died. And this engine was known as the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine.

During the Second World War, the company got transformed into a huge aeronautical tycoon, because of the rising demand for the Merlin. In the year 1944, under the supervision of Sir Frank Whittle, the development of the aero gas turbine began. It had a good technological lead. In 1953, the company entered the civil aviation market with the Dart in the Vickers Viscount. This was a strategy to finally gain the acceptance for gas turbines by the aeronautical industry.

In 1960, the company launched RB211 (three shafts high-bypass turbofan engine). By 1961, many small companies came under the acquisition of Rolls-Royce, and in 1966, the company merged with Bristol Siddeley. By 1987, it became the only company in Britain to power engines in air, land, and even, in the sea. In 1990, the company formed a joint venture with BMW of Germany.

In 1995, acquisition of Allison Engine Company in Indianapolis led to many successful defence programs. By the end of the 1990s, the company globally dominated the marine power systems, and by the end of an entire century, BMW took the responsibility of the Rolls-Royce cars.

In 2005, the company opened its 6,000 square meter Marine facility in Shanghai. In 2006, the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 ran for the first time. Many more engines were developed in the next few years, which served airways all over the world. In May 2011, the company received a contract for building nuclear-powered submarines by the UK government.

Currently, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars (BMW Subsidiary) has its headquarters in Goodwood, West Sussex with more than 1300 employees beating its own sales record every year. The other sections of this gigantic industry are also carrying out projects with their magnificent technologies to create a better tomorrow.

Ritesh Agarwal : A 23-years Millionaire Who Founded Oyo Rooms

Founder, start-up, Story, Tech Story / By

Ritesh Agarwal, founder and CEO of OYO Rooms, has become a significant figure in the entrepreneurial world, after his gargantuan success. It is quite commendable for an eighteen-year-old to start a business oh his own, and make it worth millions over a span of six years.

Early life and career

Born into a small town, called Bissamcuttack of southern Odisha, Agarwal belonged to a middle-class Marwari family. He was born on 16th December 1993 and resided with his parents, until he decided to establish a business of his own. Unlike the typical Marwari families, Ritesh’s family wasn’t financially predominant, but they always supported his dreams and trusted him. From a very tender age, Agarwal had a keen interest in software and coding. He started learning beyond the limited syllabus of school and delved deeper into computer languages. At an early age of eight, he started learning to code, and by the time he was in his tenth grade, became quite a good programmer. He loved programming and wanted to make his career in it.

Agarwal did his schooling from Odisha. Later, he moved to Kota to prepare for his IIT entrance exams. So, he was just a common head among the mass, who wanted to pursue engineering. But that never happened. He took admission in the University of London’s India campus. But after just a few days, he went on leave and never came back. He wanted a different life for himself, and the outdated studies at the college could not give him that. As they say, some feathers are too bright to be caged.

He launched a website Oravel Stays, his first start-up at the age of eighteen after he dropped out of college. The website was designed to enable customers to look for budget-friendly accommodations in various places. This was when he realized that there is a great scope of improvement in the hospitality sector and started back-packing across the country to learn and explore more and get accustomed to the realistic scenario. He also sold sim cards during the journey of his immense struggle to meet the financial needs.

After his venture of three months, he stayed in more than a hundred hotels, bed and breakfast homes, and guesthouses. He, finally, whirled from Oravel Stays to OYO Rooms in 2013. Since, he stepped into the real world from the very beginning to gain genuine understandings of how the business on his interested field works and what it lacked, the success of OYO Rooms escalated even more rapidly than Oravel Stays. He was also the first Indian to be chosen for Thiel Fellowship and was granted $100,000, as he was under twenty and a college dropout. Agarwal, in one of his interviews in 2015, said that OYO is the abbreviated form for ‘On Your Own’.

The success story of Ritesh Agarwal and OYO Rooms

OYO Rooms was founded in 2013 and turned out to be the country’s largest hospitality company. The company has its headquarters in Gurgaon, Haryana. Soon after the establishment of the company, the business expanded exponentially not only among various cities of India but also across Asia and Europe. OYO has also grown firm roots in China, Malaysia, Nepal, Japan, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom.

In May 2014, the company raised $650,000, followed by raising $24 million in an investment round led by Greenoaks Capital in March 2015. Companies like Lightspeed Venture Partner, Sequoia Capital and DSG Consumer partners also participated in the round. In 2015, another round of $100 million was raised by the company from Softbank Group.

In August 2016, the company raised $90 million from Softbank Group, Innoven Capital and other investors. This gives a clear picture of the growth trajectory of the company since it was formed.

In September 2017, OYO closed a $250 million round of funding, which was led by a new investor Hero Enterprise along with Softbank. By this time, the value of the company had reached around $850 million-$900 million, changing the face value of this Indian company across the globe. In the same year, OYO launched OYO Home to manage short-term rentals in more than 10-holiday destinations of India, and in the very next year, it launched its first international OYO Home in Dubai.

In September 2018, the company raised $1 billion, where most of the funding was led by the already existing investor Softbank Group’s Softbank Vision Fund, where participation of Lightspeed Venture Partner, Sequoia Capital and Greenoaks Capital was witnessed. The company also received a funding of $200 million from an investor the company denied to reveal the name. After this deal, the company’s value was $5 billion giving it an unexpected leap.

In May 2019, OYO announced that it would acquire a rental business (Leisure Group) based at Amsterdam.

Currently, OYO has a network of 2,200 hotels in more than 154 of India. The current CEO of OYO is Aditya Ghosh, and there the company has around 1500 employees working in various sectors to spread across the entire world to provide the best shelters to the travellers even at offbeat destinations.

Monzo: A Banking Business that Turned Out to be an Innovative Success

Founder, start-up, Story, Tech Story / By

In a world where technology is advancing at an exponential rate, services like online banking are quite common to people. The banking apps that are being launched these days have already been proven to be very useful, due to the ease and the various facilities these provide. With the help of those apps, we are able to pay without withdrawing cash, transfer money abroad, and what not. Monzo Bank Ltd. is one such exclusive mobile-based bank, based in the United Kingdom. Only four years to its establishment and Monzo has made a jaw-dropping profit serving more than 2 million customers.

The History Behind the Success

Monzo was launched in 2015, with headquarters in 38 Finsbury Square, London, and back then, it was known as Mondo. Currently, Tom Blomfield is serving the company as the CEO, and Gary Hoffman is the company’s chief executive and the chairman.

Mondo was founded by Tom Blomfield, Jonas Huckestein, Jason Bates, Paul Rippon and Gary Dolman. The five of them used to work in the same challenger bank (Startling Bank) before they founded Mondo. The growth curve of the company impressed everyone since the beginning, especially when Mondo made history in the quickest crowd-funding campaign, in February 2016. The company raised $1 million within a time span of 96 seconds, and hence brought some good fame and lucrative investors to the house.

Initially, the company was approved to have a restricted banking license by the financial regulatory bodies of the UK, but later in April 2017, the restrictions were withdrawn. The customers of this app used prepaid debit cards until the current accounts were accessible to them, and in April 2018, the prepaid scheme was shut down.

When the company carried business under the trade name Mondo, there were many complains launched and open challenges, that there already exists a company with the exact trade name. So, without going into many grimy situations, the founders changed the name of the company. They announced the name Monzo, officially on 25th August 2016. In the same year, Monzo raised around £4.8 million through ‘interim’ funding round, followed by another £2.5 million by Crowdcube crowd-funding campaign.

From 29th September 2016, the app for Monzo was made available to the public of the UK, and those who visited the office in person were provided with private beta. So, all you needed was a mobile app and a prepaid debit card to become a customer of Monzo and enjoy the endless facilities.

One of the biggest reasons that the company turned out to be such a mammoth corporation in no time was its transparency. The official website of Monzo had a live counter which showed the rollout with constant updates.

In July 2017, all the eligible customers were welcomed to sign in for a preview of the full current account, and in October 2017, Monzo declared that it would cease the free ATM withdrawals (abroad). The company replaced it with a new system, where it provided free withdrawals up to £200 and charged a 3% fee on each transaction after the limit is over. This new scheme started working on 18th December 2017. Monzo also issued Debit Mastercard cards for all the new and existing customers who signed up for the current accounts.

In June 2018, Monzo declared direct collaboration with IFTTT, which enabled the users to connect Monzo with smart devices. The company gained more attention and fame after it spotted a Ticketmaster (An American based ticket sales and distribution company) data breach in June 2018, which had held in April 2018. By this time, Monzo had already outweighed the competitions in the market and embraced more than a million customers.

In June 2018, Monzo declared that incorporation with TransferWise will now allow money transfers globally through the app. And later, the company announced that on savings of more than £1,000, it will provide interest in partnership with Investec. In November 2018, Monzo added another feature of paying cash into its respective Monzo accounts charging £1 for every deposit. And the year ended with Monzo having an enormous win in the Crowdcube crowd-funding campaign where it held £20 million and reached the target within a few hours.

In January 2019, Monzo declared its collaborations with Flux to give loyalty points to the customers and thus gaining more popularity.

Thinking Out of the Box

Undoubtedly, there are many other tech savages out there with better versions of online banking and finest technology, but what makes Monzo so different? Everyone focuses on the victory, the team has achieved in the journey of four years, but not the strategies that made them conquer it.

The major key to their success was the vivid observations that the team made, which helped them grab the earliest opportunity to expand the business with the beginning of the digital age. By the time Monzo established its business, more than 45% of the population used net banking for their daily purpose. So, only a little or no investment was needed to promote the technology among commoners.

The company focused more on listening to what the customers suggested, to make it more user-friendly, and the opinions were welcomed through social media platforms. This played a very important role in strengthening the bond between the customers and the company. And consequently, when the referrals increased, Monzo started making its customers feel comfortable and safe.

All these brilliant policies resulted in such an overwhelming success of Monzo, making every start-up dream about its glorious triumph. Today, the company has around 776 employers providing support to millions of customers 24/7.

The Emergence of the Company

During the initial days, BMW started as an aircraft-manufacturing firm named Rapp Motorenwerke. By the end of 1918, the manufacturing unit of the firm was forced to cease the aircraft engine manufacturing, and later, in the year 1923, it switched to motorcycle production. The transmission was not that easy, however, it bought golden luck for the company. Soon, the firm started manufacturing and producing motorcycles on a commercial scale.

In 1930, the firm regained authorization to manufacture aircraft parts. But by the end of 1959, due to the cost constraints, the firm had to discontinue the aircraft production. The company then decided to switch to automobile manufacturing, which proved to be a vital changing phase in the future of the firm.
