#transparentbusiness

By RAVINDRA BALAJI PUTTEWAR

It’s easy to find companies that claim to stand for something. Values like trust, integrity, and transparency are printed on office walls, tucked into brochures, and listed on websites like tick boxes. But living them—that’s something else.

At ADITI IT SERVICES PVT LTD, based in India, we didn’t pick these words to sound good. We chose them because they’ve quietly defined how we’ve worked since the beginning. Not as marketing language, but as working principles—tested over time, proven through experience.

It might sound quaint in a world driven by rapid change and short-term targets. But for us, values are not slogans—they’re strategy. And in the IT and telecom space, where complexity and confusion often breed mistrust, these values are the foundation of everything.

So let me explain—plainly and honestly—what these values mean in practice.

Trust: The Currency of Every Relationship

Whether you’re implementing infrastructure for a state agency, managing uptime for a hospital, or handling telecom for a growing startup—trust is non-negotiable. Clients aren’t just buying technology. They’re placing their confidence in you.

And trust isn’t built through slideshows or proposals. It’s built when:

You deliver on time—even when it’s inconvenient.

You tell the client something might go wrong—before it does.

You don’t oversell. Or overpromise.

A few years ago, a client asked us to fast-track a large deployment in under 10 days. The honest answer was: we couldn’t do it without cutting corners. We told them so. They chose a different vendor.

Three months later, they came back—frustrated by the rushed job they’d received—and asked us to take over. Because we hadn’t lied to them. That’s trust. It takes longer to build—but lasts longer, too.

Integrity: Doing Right When It’s Invisible

Integrity shows up when no one is watching. In how we treat subcontractors. In how we handle failure. In the quiet decisions that never make headlines.

For example, if we discover a vulnerability in a system we’ve delivered, we don’t wait for the client to spot it. We call them. Immediately. Even if it wasn’t our fault.

We once absorbed a significant cost after discovering a misconfigured third-party component. Could we have pushed the blame? Maybe. But we didn’t. Because integrity means taking ownership—even when it's inconvenient or expensive.

That decision earned us not just a client for life—but a referral to five more.

Transparency: Clarity Over Comfort

Transparency doesn’t mean dumping every internal document onto a client. It means communicating with clarity, even when the truth is uncomfortable.

If there’s a delay, we say so. If there’s a limitation, we explain it. If we don’t have the answer, we admit it—and then go find it.

We use clear documentation, real-time dashboards, and regular updates in every project. Not to protect ourselves—but to empower our clients.

One of our long-term partners, a regional bank, once told us, “We like working with you because we always know where we stand—even when it’s bad news.” That was the best compliment we could’ve received.

Why These Values Matter More Than Ever

The technology world is crowded. Fast-paced. Sometimes chaotic. There’s pressure to cut corners, upsell unnecessarily, or stay silent when things go wrong.

But here’s the thing: clients remember how you made them feel. They might forget your pricing. They’ll remember your honesty.

At ADITI IT SERVICES PVT LTD, we believe our values are a competitive advantage—not a constraint. They make decision-making easier. They attract the right kind of clients. They guide our hiring. And they help us sleep at night.

We’ve grown not by being the cheapest or the flashiest—but by being consistent, candid, and committed.

A Global Perspective on Values in Action

This commitment to value-driven work is part of why we’ve been nominated for the 2025 Go Global Awards, hosted this November in London by the International Trade Council.

These awards aren’t just about business metrics. They’re about recognizing companies that lead with vision, values, and real-world impact. To be among global innovators who are solving tomorrow’s challenges with integrity and purpose—that’s an honor we’re proud to carry on behalf of India.

It reinforces what we’ve always believed: that trust, integrity, and transparency are not old-fashioned. They are future-proof.

In Closing

You can’t download trust. You can’t automate integrity. You can’t fake transparency for long.

These things take time. But they’re worth every bit of the effort.
