A Constellation of Innovators: Auriga IT Honored as a ‘Tech Titan’ of Rajasthan

On 26th July 2025, Auriga IT was named a ‘Tech Titan of Rajasthan’—a milestone born from a basement startup, friendship, and relentless grit.

The morning of 26th July 2025, something extraordinary happened. The “Tech Titans of Rajasthan” award, curated by The Times of India group, wasn’t just another accolade for us; it was a powerful moment of reflection. It was a chance to look back at a journey that began not in a boardroom, but with a simple idea: that even a failed startup could be a “worthy credential”.  

This award is a tribute to our team, our clients, and our partners, but above all, it’s a testament to the idea that a company built on friendship and grit can not only survive but thrive. This is our story.

The Bootstrapped Dream: From a Basement to the Big Stage

Our story began in 2005 when two parallel journeys quietly started. While our Founder & CEO, Divye Tela, was a young mind at IIT Roorkee, our Founder & Chief, Shashi Bhardwaj, was a first-generation entrepreneur driven by curiosity and an extraordinary vision. Their paths converged when they joined forces, along with a few trusted friends, to embark on a shared dream.

From a humble tech startup working in a basement, Auriga IT has evolved into one of the most promising tech companies in Rajasthan. What makes this journey truly special is how we built it: collaboratively and with a long-term view. There was no chasing quick financial success; our foundation was built on shared values and a steadfast vision.

And the numbers tell a story of their own. A journey that began with just “INR 29K in bank accounts” is now a thriving enterprise with a “INR 150 Cr turnover”. This monumental growth was achieved entirely organically, with no external funding. It is a powerful demonstration of the resilience and purpose that define us.

The Heart of the Matter: A Culture of Fun and Excellence

At Auriga, we believe that the soul of a company is its people. Our mission is to build “a family of friends working together in harmony,” where the “hunger for excellence is the drive and the spirit of fun and freedom is the strength”. Our core values—Happiness, Trust, Excellence, and Humane—are more than just words; they are the principles that guide our every action.

This people-first philosophy isn’t just a mission statement; it’s a living reality. In an industry known for high turnover, a significant “20% of the team has over five years of tenure”. Many have grown with us from their earliest roles into leadership positions, showing that our culture fosters loyalty and long-term career growth.

Driving Innovation from the Heart of Rajasthan

While our roots are in friendship, our engine is innovation. We have established ourselves as a next-generation technology company, delivering scalable and innovation-driven solutions to some of the world’s most respected brands. Our clientele includes global giants like Amazon, Meta, and Target, as well as industry leaders in India like Zomato and Ola.

At the forefront of our innovation is the Auriga Venture Studio model, which has enabled us to build and scale industry-first digital products. Examples include:

• STITCH MES: A manufacturing execution system built for the apparel and fashion industry, used in over 200 factories across six countries.

• InstaDigin: A real-time data intelligence platform for the mining and infrastructure sectors, trusted by companies like Ultratech Cement and the Aditya Birla Group.

Our commitment to strategic thinking is also supported by our internal ‘Think Tank,’ a high-impact unit with alumni from top institutions like IIT and IIM. This intellectual core ensures we remain at the cutting edge, as evidenced by our landmark project of building “one of the largest Data lakes in the history of the National Highways Authority of India”.

A Look to the Future and Beyond

This award isn’t an end point; it’s a springboard. As we look to the future, we are focused on accelerating our Venture Studio model and expanding our deep-tech offerings. We are also committed to investing in our people and continuing to foster a vibrant regional tech ecosystem in Jaipur. Our growth from a Tier-2 city shows that world-class companies can thrive outside traditional tech hubs, and we are proud to contribute meaningfully to India’s digital journey.

And in the spirit of a truly unique journey, we’re not limiting ourselves to just IT. We are strategically diversifying into sectors that align with our purpose-led vision. Our subsidiary, Easy Toll Solutions, is the first Indian private operator of the world-renowned “Palace on Wheels” luxury train. We have also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Rajasthan for a “15MW Solar Park in Baran, Rajasthan”.

This award is not just for us; it is for every member of our family, our trusted clients, and our cherished partners who have been part of our journey. Thank you for your belief in our abilities and for making this bootstrapped dream a reality.

Here’s to many more milestones, together!
