BS Insider: Parth Parikh – Driving Tech & Innovation at BS

Could you introduce yourself and give us a brief overview of your role and responsibilities at Bombay Softwares?

For the past 4 years, I have been part of Bombay Softwares as a Software Engineer (SDE 1 – Backend).

My main role is to develop backend systems and ensure our applications run smoothly, but I also contribute to frontend projects and help with deployments whenever needed.

What I enjoy most about my work is solving complex problems and turning them into simple, scalable solutions.

I also value working with different teams, keeping systems reliable, and continuously improving how we build and deliver software.

What inspired you to pursue a career in the tech industry, and how did you land at Bombay Softwares?

I’ve been interested in technology and computer games since childhood. I was always curious about how things work, and that curiosity inspired me to pursue a career where I could build and create solutions of my own.

When I was about to finish my graduation, I was looking for a company where I could truly start my career- an environment open to new ideas, free from politics, and supportive of personal growth. That’s when I joined Bombay Softwares.

Since then, I’ve had the chance to work on different technologies and projects, each bringing new challenges and valuable learning.

I’m grateful to the company and its culture for motivating and supporting me throughout this journey.

What is the most appealing aspect of being part of the BS team?

The most appealing aspect of being part of the Bombay Softwares team is the flexibility at work along with a supportive and collaborative culture.

Everyone here has the freedom to share ideas and experiment, which makes every project exciting and rewarding.

I also value the opportunities to learn new technologies and the open communication within the team, which is free from office politics.

Being surrounded by a team that motivates and encourages growth makes working here both enjoyable and fulfilling.

Could you share a project that you take immense pride in?

Among the projects I’ve worked on, a fintech application in the stock market domain is especially memorable for me.

The project involved processing large amounts of real-time data and ensuring the system ran smoothly and reliably.

I worked on developing algorithms to predict stock trends and provide actionable insights, while also designing clear visualizations so users could easily understand the information.

This project was exciting because it combined problem-solving, data analysis, and creativity. Seeing the system work accurately and help users make informed decisions gave me a real sense of achievement.

How do you spend your time outside of work?

Outside of work, I like to stay curious and keep learning, whether through exploring new technologies, working on personal coding projects, or reading about interesting topics.

I enjoy traveling to new places, meeting new people, and learning about their cultures, which enriches my experiences and understanding.

I also make time for going to the gym, cooking and experimenting with new dishes, playing games, and spending quality time with family and friends.

These activities help me stay balanced, energized, and motivated for new challenges.
