Xpedeon’s Global Rollout of Cloud ERP Solutions

Janak Vakharia, a seasoned industry thought leader, is the founder and CEO of Xpedeon, a purpose-built ERP solution for the construction industry, since its inception in 1994. He has strategically led Xpedeon from a licensed model to a very profitable Cloud/SaaS model with rapid growth through strategic market diversification and technology innovation.

With a world view to expand Xpedeon, Janak drives strategic growth across the US, EU, and Asia-Pacific. He transformed an India-built technology into a global success, establishing a strong presence in the UK and Middle East. His leadership secured major clients paving the way for expansion into competitive markets. Despite being bootstrapped, Xpedeon’s success attracted Norwest Venture Partners as its first institutional investor. Interested in financial as well as operations KPIs, he continually optimizes the SaaS-based business model for Xpedeon for long-term profitability.

With three decades of expertise, Janak has been instrumental in Xpedeon’s dominant leadership across the GCC, UK, and Ireland. He has been guiding the company’s smooth and profitable evolution from a conventional licensing model to a nimble Cloud/SaaS setup.

A Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a Stanford Seed Transformation Program alumni, Janak’s interests are badminton, Western classical piano, and scuba diving. He also enjoys exploring and experimenting with emerging technologies, reflecting his innovative mindset and forward-thinking approach to both business and personal interests.
