A tower stands on one trunk, and falls with it. We built Gateway like a banyan, wider and stronger every year.
40+ independent companies, one engineering DNA.
Zero Debt. Zero Investors.
Banyans widen for centuries. 29 years in, so do we.
Our story began with restlessness.
It began with one entrepreneur's vision. Niraj Gemawat, an engineer by profession, founded Gateway after completing his MBA and within a couple of years was already building a fast-growing business when fate intervened.
As the business found stability and grew to a team of 100+ professionals, the foundation became stronger with the arrival of Indrajeet Mitra, Niraj's childhood friend, who joined to help shape the next phase of growth.
The bridge to the next chapter was built on a train ride between Pune and Ahmedabad, where Vipin Moharir's father introduced Niraj to Vipin, a technologist based in the Netherlands looking for the right partner in India. What began as a chance meeting soon evolved into a partnership that accelerated the company's global ambitions.
Three people whose paths crossed at just the right moments. Three complementary strengths. One shared vision. Since then, they have been living the dream together building a global enterprise rooted in engineering excellence, innovation, and enduring relationships.
Gateway's foundational values were not written in a handbook—they were forged in its earliest years.
As a young company, we consistently took on projects far larger than our size, often venturing beyond what conventional wisdom would have considered possible. Success demanded more than technical capability. It required people with exceptional talent, an uncompromising commitment to excellence, unwavering integrity, and the belief that every promise made to a customer had to be honoured, regardless of the challenge.
Those early experiences shaped a culture where ownership came before hierarchy, ethics before expediency, teamwork before individual success, and long-term relationships before short-term gains. These principles became more than values—they became our operating DNA and the foundation upon which Gateway continues to build.
But Gateway was never built by its founders alone. It was built by the colleagues who believed in a young company, the customers who entrusted us with critical assignments, and the partners and vendors who stood beside us from the beginning. Our first office was a modest apartment in Ahmedabad. As every successful project brought new people and new opportunities, one office became another, reflecting a philosophy that remains unchanged today: when people grow together, businesses endure together.
Building an organisation which survives 100 years and leaves a legacy for generations to follow.
What began twenty-nine years ago as a gritty software firm has transformed into a global engineering powerhouse. Today, Gateway combines its engineering capabilities with an operator-first philosophy, building scalable businesses across geographies, industries, and business models.
But Gateway's story is about more than growth. It is a story of relationships, long-term thinking, and the belief that enduring companies are built by investing in people. Through economic downturns, shifting markets, and the global pandemic, Gateway remained committed to its principles rather than changing course.
While others pulled back, Gateway focused on protecting continuity, investing in its people, and developing leaders from within. Twenty-nine years later, its global footprint has expanded, but its philosophy remains unchanged: capability first, integrity always, and the belief that when you invest in people, they build institutions that last.
Twenty-nine years of milestones — every company, market and moment, in sequence. Press play, then scroll the timeline below.
2020 · The COVID-19 Pandemic
The pandemic stopped the world. We paused everything but one thing: we never stepped away from our people.
While others made hard cuts, we stood by our team, working around the clock to keep every family safe and supported.
We did not emerge stronger because the crisis was easy. We emerged stronger because, when it mattered most, we stood by each other.
Milestones · 1997 → 2026
From one office in Ahmedabad to an ecosystem across 15+ countries — every market opened, every practice built, every honour received. This is the record.
