Managed to do his B.Tech. in Electronics<br>Engineering and Master\u2019s in Management from the best institution in India called Indian<br>Institute of Technology (I.I.T Mumbai in India) which has produced many well-known<br>leaders like CEO of Google, etc. During 1986-1989, he worked as a software developer in<br>Tata Consultancy Services, India on many international projects in Switzerland and Middle<br>East. He always wanted to settle in the UK and moved to the UK in August 1989 with just<br>\u00a350 in his pocket, his wife and a 3 months\u2019 old son. He worked for an American company<br>Unisys as a software developer, after six months, he managed to get a contract from Unisys to<br>develop and implement Warehouse Management System. Then, he floated his own company<br>and started employing staff in March 1990, later opened another outsourcing office in India.<br>His company developed software for many banks and Telecom companies e.g., Citibank,<br>Ericsson, American Express, etc. After the Dot Com bubble burst in October 2002, they lost<br>90% of their project business within a week. At that time, he started focusing on much safer<br>sectors like Healthcare and Transport.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In those days, IT infrastructure within NHS was in a bad shape, he put his software team on a<br>massive R&amp;D into healthcare system development while working with many doctor friends.<br>\u2018We managed to develop six very innovative software packages as working proto-types and<br>one of these packages (NOMAD) we implemented in 12 large NHS Hospitals: Barts in<br>London, Oxford, Birmingham, Leeds, Rotherham, East Lancashire, etc. We had almost<br>20,000 users using our software package to treat patients\u2019-says Manoj Agrawal.<br>Mr Agrawal\u2019s hobbies include cooking, diving, trekking (recently climbed to Ben Nevis, the<br>highest mountain in the UK) for a charity. He also has a special interest in spirituality,<br>meditation and connecting with the powers of nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">READ MORE ON LEADERS MAGAZINE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wondered how much some sacrifice to change their lives they were in?Is it possible to make any changes in life and gain success in anything you desire?In this edition, our guest is Manoj Agrawal (CEO, Softech Rail Limited, UK), who changedthe comfort of railway travelling to many people around the UK and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":198,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-leaders"],"blocksy_meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/leadersmagazine.eu\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/leadersmagazine.eu\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/leadersmagazine.eu\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leadersmagazine.eu\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leadersmagazine.eu\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=197"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/leadersmagazine.eu\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":210,"href":"https:\/\/leadersmagazine.eu\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/197\/revisions\/210"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leadersmagazine.eu\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/leadersmagazine.eu\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=197"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leadersmagazine.eu\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=197"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leadersmagazine.eu\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=197"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
