Subrahmanyam Vempati, Co-Founder and CEO of Cuspera, popularly known as Subbu, said, “Cuspera is conceived based on the pain points I had personally faced as a Corporate VP at HP. My success was limited by our ability to find and deploy the right software in a continuously evolving business landscape. At Cuspera, we are on a mission to equip the business managers to digitally transform their businesses by enabling faster software selection.”
