Our Mission

We believe in the power of relationships to enhance business outcomes. Our goal is to help IT decision-makers unlock the potential of trusted relationships and find effective solutions for their businesses.

​

Our technology platform, combined with a personal concierge service, enables one-2-one connections with India’s IT leaders based on shared interests, common responsibilities or similar industry expertise.

Our Values

  • We use technology to create transparency, efficiency, and differentiation for our business.

  • We will innovate rapidly to serve changing needs of our stakeholders.

  • We treat every platform member as a partner in our business and recognize their contributions.

  • We show respect for the time and privacy of every member and do not compromise it at any cost.

  • We respect the dignity of every individual—client, member, or employee–and treat them fairly.

Our Team

121connects is founded by 3 colleagues who decided to put their collective 75+ years of experience, serving the IT community in India, to build a platform that enables personal connections in a whole new way. As former CEO, CIO, and Programs Director of a global IT media company, the trio realise that technology--deployed with a human touch--can dramatically change how IT leaders meet and engage in a digitally transformed world. They are backed by a dynamic, young and enthusiastic team that is eager to change the marketing paradigm.
