History
David Rakhit always wanted to build a company of his own but he did not know how, when and where he would do so. Trained as an engineer, he knew he needed to learn all aspects of business and so he specialized in entrepreneurship while doing his MBA at the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles.? David absorbed as much information as possible, particularly about how big companies work, while he was working at Unisys (California) as a Systems Engineer, as a Derivatives Trader at Citibank (Tokyo), and as Sales at Reuters (Tokyo) as well as Dow Jones Telerate Tokyo (Kyodo News).
David was always an ambitious man and was never happy with what he had.? He was always looking for more, be it knowledge, education and/or soccer.? Troubles started when Dow Jones Telerate was sold to Bridge around 1998. David’s responsibilities with the new company were below what he felt he could handle, and his ambition led his manager to feel somewhat threatened. David ended up separating from Bridge to venture on his own.
By this time, David had gained knowledge as a Systems Engineer, a Trader, and as a Salesperson. He had built a strong sales network in Japan; he also knew that if you are successful in establishing a business in Japan, you can succeed anywhere in the world. So, David established Intersoft K.K. in 1999 and was the first employee. Today, Intersoft K.K. with its headquarters in Tokyo, Japan, has more than 150 employees worldwide and offices in India, Singapore, Taiwan and the United States. The company has established a solid reputation providing services to blue chip companies in the financial, manufacturing and telecom industry.
The name INTERSOFT represents a software company a global Japanese/English bilingual software company.
