We’re energy-bombs, creative nut-jobs, quirky dynamites and so much more. We’re an ever growing family, and we love to welcome the world with open arms.
We structure our test coverages to cater to The Product Team, The Dev, and The Business of any customer we work with.
We provide the right solutions to enrich the experience of our customer’s audience. This is enabled by harvesting great relationships with our customers and having a deep understanding of their problem statements.
Purpose, Values and Quality of Life are our drivers
We hold culture above everything. We know that the most complex of problems stem from culture and can be solved by culture too. Having fun at work and collaborating instead of competing is what it takes for organisations to truly succeed.
We are proud of our ever evolving journey.
The year 2010 was a riveting one for everyone. It was a new decade, technology was getting more cut throat by the day, and the opportunity to create and build on something you liked was taking over people everywhere, especially Bangalore.
Pradeep, a young tester from the city constantly found himself being a misfit. Most people around him jumped into software development roles but he couldn’t get himself to walk on the same path. He truly enjoyed testing but was constantly in and out of companies. He didn’t stay in the same workplace for more than a few months, or a year at the most.
He knew there was more to be done. He knew that testing went beyond just checking codes, and that good testing had to manifest from good culture.
He envisioned a testing space in India which had a progressive outlook, perhaps like the ones in the US back then. He delved into deep learning, and put himself on a riskier path - He wanted to create that testing space in India, he wanted to generate that impact.
Well, maybe it was the pleasantness of the city afterall, because soon there was a small group of testers huddled in a garage, finding ways to actually add value to what they do.
Over multiple cups of chai, they discussed about the testing industry and what they were aiming to bring. Their ambition fueled them for days straight as they built Moolya, a software testing space like no other.
They understood that good testing stems from just one thing - great culture, and the passion to make a difference, to add value.
Moolya, in Hindi, means value.
An organization built on the foundation of adding value to the lives of their ‘co-owners’ and customers, Moolya became the first testing solution provider to one of India’s biggest e-commerce platforms, Flipkart.
The team grew and Moolya added more like minded people. But a good step back will show how these people took their risks with Moolya. An organization aiming to revolutionize the testing landscape in India, Moolya had a new way of working. The people who joined the company were not only ready to explore, but also willing to jump into fairly uncertain situations.
The ups and downs of life, decisions, and starting new ventures didn’t spare themselves on Moolya. There were failures, there were terrible days. The only difference was that these were looked at as learning experiences.
Like Flipkart, Moolya formed long term relationships with multiple customers. Over the last decade, Moolyans have become an integral and irreplaceable part of their customer teams. What set us apart then and what sets us apart now is that the real value we add is for the customer’s customer. When those customers have a seamless experience, we consider ourselves successful.
Three years had gone by since the time of Moolya’s inception. It was fair to say that with each day the team was inching closer to their dream. They were now more than 100 in count, and added a wide set of clients.
The testers faced new challenges each day, and with each client. To build something new also comes with not having a set formula, not knowing if one thing can be used time and again, and will give the best results each time.
Moolyans began focusing on creating solutions they could replicate. Be it a leadership style or a way of testing, if it worked, they tried to repeat it till perfection.
What started as a tale of dream and drive churned into reality. Moolyans raised the bar with every client they worked with. Moolya made it as finalists in Red Herring - Top 100 Companies in Asia.
Change is never comfortable, but always necessary.
Moolya began with an idea of bringing a much needed change to the landscape of testing in India. They weren’t focused on the outcomes of what they did, but rather what created these outcomes.
By now, one thing was clear - a good foundation and culture leads to great quality work. Why then were so many people focused on just the outcomes?
Hundreds of Moolyans contributed in showing why context holds importance, always. Moolya became a leading testing solutions provider, with happy Moolyans in the company. Moolyans extended themselves to build products to add to their journey of revolutionising the testing industry.
They tried and failed, they learnt and tried again.
To add another feather to this learning hat, Founder Pradeep Soundararajan received the STP Software Testing Luminary Award this year.
With the startup wave successfully taking over India, Moolya found itself in interesting times. 8 out of 10 startups wanted to team up with Moolya as their testing partner. As the Moolyan team grew, the model of succeeding and repeating grew in Moolya as well.
Moolyans learned and unlearned together as they went on in this journey.
In the year that shook the world with a deadly pandemic, Moolya was grateful for the health and safety of it’s expansive family.
Born and bred in Bangalore, Moolya expanded to Pune and Hyderabad. In an otherwise tumultuous year, The Moolyan family doubled and their customers grew. Moolyans, who generally worked like a tightly bound unit, sharing food and music each day, now worked from home.
In yet another pandemic year that paused the world, Moolya took consistent steps to become a bigger family. Thousands of students graduated from the pandemic batches and Moolya became home for 100+ such students, who joined us as interns.
Socially distanced and away from their friends, Moolyans still strived through. They accommodated each other, comforted each other, and went through this shocking year together, despite the distance.
Moolya’s journey and Moolyan stories have been everlasting in their own spaces. We’ve tried and tried and tried to constrict ourselves to a section called “About Us”, but in all honesty, we’re much more than this.
Moolya is Moolyans. We are great testers, but not just that. We are food lovers, animal caretakers, movie buffs, book geeks, fitness enthusiasts, and so much more.
Moolya has 200+ stories to share of how it prevented bugs and tech debt for startups and fast growing enterprises. You will love it.
