Guavus

Big data has the potential to fundamentally change the world, from the ways businesses operate, to the way people interact, to identifying new diseases and treatments, to finding new ways to protect and care for our environment. The opportunities are limitless.

And we think that’s incredibly cool and phenomenally exciting.If you do too, join us to be a part of this journey.

Our Mission

Guavus was founded to analyze the world’s big data so people and businesses can always make the best possible decision at any given moment.

Our History

Guavus was founded by data scientists who foresaw the need for a new model for data analytics given the emerging challenges with traditional data warehouses and business intelligence solutions to deal with the volume, velocity and variety of operational, sensor and network-generated data that is being created in today’s data-driven economy. The company’s patent pending, stream-processing technology has been in development for 10+ plus years, prior to today’s hyper excitement about “big data”.

Our Present

Today, Guavus big data analyticssolutions have been deployed at some of the worlds’ largest carriers and infrastructure vendors with demonstrable ROI. Currently, Guauvus proven solution has been deployed in multiple divisions at:

• 2 of the top 3 Tier 1 US mobile operators
• 3 of the top 5 Tier 1 US IP/MPLS backbone and CDN carriers.

We also have partnerships with 4 of the top 5 global communications infrastructure equipment vendors.

Given the explosive growth in operational, sensor and network-generated network data driven by the rise in smart phones, tablets and M2M communications, our traction within the Telecommunications & Service Provider market continues to soar. We’re rapidly growing our team at our Silicon Valley headquarters and our R&D offices in India as we look to expand globally both to additional carriers as well as to other enterprise vertical industries who can reap the benefits of big data analytics applications including Energy, Retail, Manufacturing & more.

Our Future

Now is the time to get involved. We are at pivotal point in our history where big data innovation can impact businesses and individuals in new and unforeseen ways for positive good, we need exceptionally smart people to join our team who are:

• Passionate about getting the job done,
• Relentless about flawless execution,

Working at Guavus has been an enriching and exhilarating experience, both technically and personally. What distinguish the work experience at Guavus are nature of the engineering problems and the technical ability of the people around you. Not a day goes by when you have not learned something new. 

     Another distinguishing aspect is that technical decision-making is "data-driven". People around you are eager to change their mind when presented with data and a logical argument. This almost seems like a breath of fresh air when you experience it for the first time.

     If you like working on really hard problems with really talented people in a relatively pressure free environment and get paid very well, Guavus is the place for you.

Use of optimal data structures and algorithms is not limited to the interviews. I don't get burned for trying an experimental strategy that does not work in the end. I haven't been scared to speak my mind. And, I don't have to keep my family waiting for dinner. Great place to work and learn.

Big data has the potential to impact how businesses operate and people interact moving forward, much like the advent of the printing press or TV did in the past. Guavus is in a great position to capitalize on this technology trend. Having the chance to build a game-changing company that will have long standing value doesn't come around everyday, and I'm thrilled to be a part of the team as we ride this wave of innovation and to be able to positively contribute to Guavus's success.

If you have the desire to learn and will to excel, GUAVUS is the right place for you. I joined Guavus when it was 30+ people company 3.6 years back with a vision of solving different class of problems in big data analytics domain. Initially I was hesitant about working for a startup after working 8 years in Multi National companies like GE-Capital, Solutions Inc, Life Fitness Inc-Singapore but my journey with Guavus has been simply fabulous. The plethora of opportunities that came my way has made me a better professional. I have been through all the product development activities starting from inception till acceptance in this short span of time. The management and other team members have been highly supportive and motivating in this journey. I have enough freedom to use my creativity, technical & managerial skills. We work on latest niche technologies.

Guavus hires people with very good background, which makes the environment excellent to work & grow. The confidence, which they show in one’s abilities, boasts to handle issues with more ease. No individual achievements go unnoticed; rather all are suitably recognized and appreciated. The overall environment is highly conducive and challenging to propel any individual further in life. The HR/Admin staff is extremely friendly and helpful which makes you comfortable in all respects.

Guavus is one of the best companies I have ever worked with, you need to experience to express.

Guavus was an opportunity for me to break away from a standards controlled telecom centric software development to a much more computer science oriented software development in a more open field of big data analytics. Ultimately, it was a choice between repetition and innovation.

The experience in Guavus has been enriching for me in terms of refining and applying the basic principles of computer science and engineering. Guavus is in a great space and is well positioned to achieve big things. Its a company which is constantly innovating to service all its stakeholders and its humble enough to admit the scope for improvement.

Every solution that is built in Guavus, amazes the customers with what it empowers them and elates us to see how customers use and eventually benefit from it.

I am excited to be a part of Guavus.

I have been with Guavus for a little more than 2 years and I must say that the journey has been excellent so far. Coming from a telecom background, I had little understanding of the Big Data Analytics domain when I joined the company. So I was expecting at least a month of ramp-up period to get some understanding of the new domain. However, soon after joining here, I found myself reading research papers, doing benchmarks and developing modules that would go into production in a couple of months. This is the kind of expectations, responsibilities and a sense of ownership you feel when you join Guavus.

What I like about Guavus? Well its the challenging work environment, excellent peers and a rare chance to work on advanced computer science concepts. At Guavus, we build systems that analyze petabytes of data using multiple technologies - Map Reduce, Column Stores, Distributed Caching. We are firm believers of "Learn, Unlearn & Re-learn" and that is why we are always keen on experimenting with and adopting new technologies so that our platform stays cutting edge.

Guavus Gurgaon center has grown from 30 people to 100+ (and counting) in last 2 years and now we have some of the biggest Tier 1 Telcos in the world as our customers. This is a tremendous achievement for a company of such a small size.

Its fun to work at Guavus!

The energy and excitement here is infectious. I love that we’re always looking at something new, something that hasn’t been done before.

Guavus culture is very dynamic – there’s always something new going on.  Everyone is extremely hard working and dedicated to what we’re doing here.  People do whatever is needed for us to be successful, but there is also a healthy respect for people’s personal lives.  It’s a good balance.

The journey till now has been very good, it’s been especially interesting for me personally since I came from very “Corporate America”.  The start-up environment is great.  There has been a steep learning curve for me and everyone has been super helpful supporting me in learning what I need to know.  There has been a lot of growth but it is nice to see that a big effort is made to bring in top talent – the company is willing to take the time to make sure we find the best people for the job.  People have a similar work ethic and fit together really well.
