We formulate cost-effective solutions that would enable organisation to make transformational leaps and achieve their goals.
The Sona Group was instrumental in starting the IT revolution in Bengaluru. This began in the 1980s when the Valliappa Software Tech Park (VSTP, now called 'Sona Towers', Millers Road) was founded by Sona Group’s Chairman Shri C. Valliappa.
Sona Towers is where Texas Instruments, one of the first software MNCs to arrive in India, set up its software design centre. This was soon followed by Verifone, Oracle, Cisco and others, thus igniting the IT boom in Bengaluru. This is also where, in 1985, India's first satellite dish with up-linking facilities was installed, along with housing VSNL's earth station.
This initial impetus by Sona Group has now propelled Bengaluru into the Silicon Valley of India which houses all the major IT and electronic companies of the world.
We provide business organisations with the latest technological services and managerial insights fostering transformational strategies, operational performance improvements, competitive advantage and value creation for their customers at the least cost.
Sona Star Innovation brings robust skills and forward-looking perspectives to solve customer challenges. We use proven knowledge to make recommendations and provide expert guidance to our customers.
