We upgraded Yo!Kart and gave it a complete makeover. The upgraded ecommerce marketplace builder, Yo!Kart, now V8 boasts of a complete new UI and an enhanced UX.

On the online food ordering and delivery marketplace front, we worked on Yo!Yumm and its Android app too.

We also associated with Radix and welcomed a lot of new team members on board.

Talking about the fun part, we made a lot of memorable moments together. Be it the Jim Corbett National Park, celebrating Women’s day or to zealously donating blood, we did it all together.

Blood Donation Camp

While our leader leaves no stone unturned to ensure we have no trouble establishing the work life balance, we believed it was our turn to show how much we enjoy working with him. Thus came the Boss Day, and presented him the right gear to unleash the rider within him. His V-Twin Harley is now complete with his riding jackets and safety gear.

Happy Boss Day

Christmas and New Year bash is the time when the new faces saw what fun means at AblySoft. Absolute madness and absolute party!

Social Welfare Initiative By AblySoft On World Blood Donation Day

This World Blood Donor Day our heroes came together to add one more joy to their lives- the joy of blood donation. AblySoft organized a blood donation camp on 14th June in the office premises with the support of Civil Hospital, Kharar and the Emerging Youth Blood Donor Organization.

The camp was planned to help children suffering from Thalassemia, an autosomal recessive blood disorder, which was made even more special with the zestful spirit of all participants.

As a concerned social entity we look forward to support such events in future too. As of now, we are elated and thankful to both the organisers and participants who worked together with such great enthusiasm and deepened social awareness to make this event a huge success.

Getting Off The Right Foot: My First Day at AblySoft

The story begins right from the point when I was picked by AblySoft, the website development company of North India but let me begin this with a brief introduction.

I am Shalabh Tyagi (the central character of this story)

College: Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies, MumbaiIntern at AblySoft

Sector : Information Technology

Location  : Mohali, Punjab

On the way to my workplace for next 2 months,

Driver: “Tussi Chandigarh pehli baar aaye ho”

Me: “Haan Ji”

As I was listening to Proper Patola playing on 98.3 FM and watching the trees along the NH5 all kinds of thoughts were coming to my mind about the company where I would be working for next two months. From entrance gate to my mentor I had hallucinations about everything and anything related to my internship. By the way, meanwhile having all these I was constantly interacting with Sardarji sitting in the driver’s seat. Kudos!! I have already learned multitasking.

And this 10 minute journey in OLA cab seemed to be everlasting as we discussed from Diljit Dosanjh to Yuvraj Singh and needless to say bars and girls of the Chandigarh. I must say Punjabis are really amicable.

As I stepped down from the cab and entered the office to my surprise I was the first one to reach there. Seeing me in full business formals even the office boy thought that some foreign delegate has arrived (but why this early) to meet his boss. My business suit probably outshined the nervous squirrel hiding behind it. To avoid the morning naps that were hovering over due to the early morning flight, I picked the newspaper kept in front of me. I was on the page 4 of “The Tribune” when my name was called by the HR manager and the butterflies in my stomach had already started fluttering. She greeted me and apologized for making me wait for so long. In the next moment I was in the meeting room with her, where the welcome tea and cookies were already waiting to warm me up.

After the brief introduction round I realized that my induction has already started as I was on the second block of my induction form. I must appreciate the fact that the HR was quite calm and composed and she managed to send the squirrels in my stomach to a long sleep. Then came the list of organization chart along with mission and vision of the company; needless to say company work policy and do’s and don’ts were piggybacking it. Once the HR manager left for catching up her daily routine, the game of hallucinations again started and this time the main characters were my project mentor and the project itself.

In another 15- 20 minutes Senior HR executive came (PS: First thought that came to my mind was why all HR are girls, my college has 60 percent males in HR batch though) and took me to my mentor’s office.

Sitting behind the table was guy in the mid 30’s with height as much as mine, but weight slightly more than me. Now this was the third time in the day that I was giving my introduction, every time with slight variations. Seeing the cabins outside his office I realized that I was bit overdressed for the day, while getting ready this morning I ignored the fact that I will be working with a quite young IT company where you don’t have many restrictions on dress code. By the time my eyes and mind returned inside his office I was already seeing the JD of my profile and some serious talking had already begun.

All the marketing jargons which I had come across in my first year, were again teasing me but this time they made some practical sense. My mentor was quick enough to read the lines on my forehead and offered me to go for the lunch with him, as hour hand had already crossed 2, five minutes ago. After having rajma chawal and seeing tens of unfamiliar faces in the cafeteria I was back in the meeting room where I started my day. Soon I was told by the HR manager that in next 10 minutes I have a meeting scheduled with the CEO.

I was waiting with baited breath for the big guy to come. As HR mentioned in correct 10 minutes he was there. I noticed that he has written 15 minutes on his pad so this meeting is supposed to be short and crisp. The 4th round of introduction was in a serious tone and bit slower (or maybe I was more focused this time). He explained me why he hired me and what he expects from me. His calm and composed nature bolstered me to throw questions at him and the meeting which was earlier scheduled for 15 minutes lasted for 30 plus minutes. After meeting him my confidence was reinforced that I was at the right place with the right people for the right work.

Soon after the meeting I was handed over my QR code, my system and my login credentials. Once the admin guy gave demo of the system and the portals and various tools, the HR called it a day for me and told me the agenda of the next few days where lots of activities and meetings are planned for me, but due to time constraints and the scope of this write up I won’t be able to discuss all here.

Lastly, I can say that I came as a nervous cow and bit frightened, but returned much more confident and elated.

Want to Join Ablysoft (FATbit) as developer? Tips to Crack the Interview

As Indians, each one of us must be proud to see fellow Indian origin people as CEOs of top technology companies like Microsoft, Google etc. There is no doubt that all of us dream of being in their shoes someday. However, the ground reality is that many of us even fail to address is the level of competency that an average technical graduate in our country possesses. We live in a world of make belief that success comes with luck. Throughout our lives, rather than focusing on our technical skills we just try to rush through things.

Some of the recent surveys have concluded that only 4% (or even as low as 2.5% in some cases) of technology graduates are technically sound for a job in IT product companies. This despite the fact that India is touted at the IT capital of the world.

Download National Employability Study pdf
can be taken as an example.

I have been conducting interviews in AblySoft Pvt Ltd (web development department) for more than 6 years and have a very low selection rate, probably 2-3%. Many times, during the interviews a feeling emerges that we expect more from candidates. Why is our selection rate so low?  Nevertheless, when we consider the conclusions of such surveys, probably we understand where the fault lies.

A typical job type for a software developer

Let us take a closer look at this situation to understand the crux of the problem. A typical Web development department comprises of different types of jobs:

  • Working on ready open source systems like WordPress, OpenCart, Magento etc. Theming, installing plugins, in some cases making small changes in those plugins and in some very rare cases developing your own plugins.
  • Developing and maintaining your own plugins/modules for some open source systems.
  • Working on improvements and enhancements of a product already built by the company. Alternatively, developing a product from scratch in product based company.
  • Developing custom applications/websites/portals for clients and/or products for own company.

Each of these jobs has its own requirements. In the first scenario, you need to work harder juggling through many projects simultaneously but overall the challenges involved are low. You just need to stay in sync with upcoming versions of the system as well as the plugins/modules related to it.

When we look at the second scenario, the job type requires you to have a sound technical knowledge; however, the overall pressure on a regular basis is on the lower side.

The third type of job necessitates you to possess advanced analysis and technical skills; however, there is ample availability to resources and time.

Then comes the fourth case, where you need the intelligence and competence of a product developer. You have to follow coding standards, handle security loopholes in the code and above all, you have to plan for and handle the problems, which may arise, when there is a sudden surge in the users beyond a few thousand and sometimes millions.

Each job mentioned above requires a particular skill set and level of competency. I do not mean to say any of these jobs is superior or inferior to the other. Additionally, the points I mentioned here, there would surely be exceptions in some cases as every analysis has. So what is the reason behind this elaboration? To make candidates understand what it requires, to land a job at Ablysoft.

At Ablysoft, we fall in the fourth category. We are mainly in service domain and the majority of our projects are custom developed. Therefore, one thing is for sure that we require competent software developers, who are good in problem analysis and developing an algorithm to solve it. In the last 6 years, hardly 5-6% of candidates (with less than one and a half years of experience), whom I have interviewed, were able to write a code to sort an array on their own. This despite the fact that this small code is taught in their academics as well. This means, it was not a new problem for them; they have been told the solution many times before. Is this not an irony?

More than technical knowledge, it is about Problem solving skills

While developing web applications, one common thing that every programmer has to encounter every day is – storing the data provided by the user (or admin user) in the database and then displaying it on other web pages when required. To achieve this, you need to insert/update the data in the database and then retrieve it.

•    About 50% of candidates (in 2-4 years’ experience group) are not able to write correct queries with simple joins between two tables. (Please mind that I am not talking about syntax errors here).

•    About 30-40% of computer science graduates do not know what a 30% + 20% discount means.

•    If the price of a product is US $100, including 15% VAT, how much is the price of that product without VAT? Hardly 10% of candidates can solve this seventh standard math’s question.

Once I interviewed a candidate who had a reference of my friend and I asked her such questions. Later her father complaint to my friend, “She is looking for a job in web development. Why the hell was that interviewer asking her those mathematics questions?”

Experience does not account for level of competency

Another weird situation arises when candidates with four or more years of experience come for the interview. A lot of them are working as team leaders or project coordinators. They say they guide their team to fix the problems. However, they are not able to write a simple SQL query that they would always need to write or make their programmers write. I believe a senior/team leader/technical project manager must be in a position that – when a junior is stuck with a problem, the senior should be able to confidently say, “let me try”. However, most of the senior developers on emphasize on their years of experience rather than their level of competency.

How to make yourself competent for Ablysoft

A few days back, one of the HR consultants wrote to HR head of our company, “I checked with my team for PHP Candidates and got the feedback like 90% Mohali has applied for job in ABLY and rejection rate is quite high, is it true?”

The reason behind the above statement might already be clear from the scenarios mentioned by me. Now the question that arises is how to crack an interview here at Ablysoft? It would already be clear from this article, what we expect from a candidate. Nevertheless, let me go ahead and try to summarize:

•    We need good aptitude and problem-solving ability. This cannot be developed overnight, nor can this be prepared/developed so quickly. Therefore, do not bother about it. Just relax and face your interviewer with confidence as far as this point is concerned.

•    You must be good in handling databases mainly with MySQL. Yes, for this point you can brush up your skills and prepare. So, please put some efforts on this.

•    Every programmer knows the syntax of conditional statements, loops, operators etc. Even if you make a mistake, your IDE will help you fix it. Learning a programming language is useless if you do not know what and how to program. It is the same thing like learning good English, but you do not know what to say or talk. So, develop your logics to perfection.

•    Having good knowledge of OOP always give you an advantage.

These were some the points, related to technical interview for PHP web developers. Of course, good communication and pleasant personality along with the general interview cracking ideas apply here too. In the end, it all boils down to convincing the interviewer that you possess all the capabilities required by them. If you manage it, then there is nothing stopping you from getting your dream job – be it with AblySoft or any other reputed company in Mohali/Chandigarh.
