“Technology is a tool to drive efficiency, solve real business problems, and empower organizations to make data-driven decisions”

A Career Defined by Strategic Growth and Vision
Rohit Gaur’s professional journey is marked by a consistent focus on growth through innovation. Prior to his tenure at Infragistics, he held key leadership roles at Microsoft, Symantec, and Serena Software. These roles sharpened his expertise in building scalable software solutions for a wide array of clients—ranging from multinational corporations and start-ups to government bodies and SMEs.
Since 2013, Gaur has led Infragistics India, a critical regional arm of the global company. Here, his mission has been clear: deliver cutting-edge user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) development tools and enterprise platforms that empower developers and decision-makers alike. From embedded analytics to low-code platforms, his work has been instrumental in ensuring the brand remains ahead of the curve.
Delivering Intelligent Solutions for a Digital-First World
Under Gaur’s stewardship, Infragistics has expanded its portfolio to include tools that directly address the demands of the modern digital workforce. Its standout solutions include:
- Reveal – an award-winning embedded analytics platform offering real-time, in-app data visualization and reporting.
- Slingshot – an AI-powered productivity and collaboration suite designed to enable seamless work execution and agile project management.
- App Builder – a powerful low-code/no-code platform that enables non-technical users to build sophisticated applications with minimal coding.
- Indigo.Design – a leading UX/UI design and prototyping platform.
- Infragistics Ultimate – a comprehensive UI development toolkit for modern application frameworks.
These tools have made significant headway in industries such as BFSI, retail, manufacturing, and HR technology. Gaur notes, “We created App Builder to empower non-technical users to develop applications and address the growing demand for skilled software developers.”
By prioritizing adaptability, these solutions help clients respond to changing market needs, improve time-to-market, and foster more data-driven, collaborative cultures.
Innovation Rooted in Purpose
Gaur’s motivation for leading in technology is more than professional—it’s deeply personal. He views software not as an end but as a means to solve pressing challenges and empower people to act on insights. “Technology is a tool to drive efficiency, solve real business problems, and empower organizations to make data-driven decisions,” he affirms.
This conviction has shaped how Gaur leads innovation efforts at Infragistics. It’s not just about launching new products—it’s about building platforms that evolve with user needs, enable diverse teams to collaborate more effectively, and lower the barriers to digital adoption.
Anticipating Change, Not Just Reacting to It
One of Gaur’s defining strengths is his ability to anticipate industry shifts before they go mainstream. The development of Slingshot is a prime example. Built in response to the global pivot to remote work, the platform offers real-time visibility, embedded analytics, and integrated communication in one seamless experience.
This foresight is not accidental. It stems from a culture of proactive innovation that Gaur has nurtured internally. Through initiatives like the Infragistics Innovation Lab, employees are encouraged to contribute ideas, explore new technologies, and experiment without fear of failure. “Encouraging innovation at all levels helps us stay nimble and responsive to market needs,” he says.
“Success is not just about having the best product, but also about understanding your customers’ pain points and creating solutions that make a real impact”

Leading Through Culture and Inclusion
Behind Gaur’s strategic and product success is a deep belief in people-first leadership. At Infragistics, diversity and inclusion are core to the company’s creative edge. Gaur emphasizes that when team members feel respected and empowered, they are more likely to think outside the box and contribute meaningfully. His leadership style is centered around trust, transparency, and continuous learning. “Innovation thrives in a diverse and collaborative environment,” he explains, adding that his goal is to foster a culture where open communication and mutual support drive results.
Meeting Today’s Challenges with Scalable Solutions
Gaur acknowledges that the industry isn’t without its challenges. The global shortage of skilled technology talent, especially in AI and software development, has been a recurring issue. Referencing Infragistics’ Reveal 2025 Top Software Development Challenges survey, he highlights that “the rush to incorporate AI in 2024 led to a strong demand for skilled AI engineers.”
To address this, Gaur continues to promote low-code tools like App Builder, enabling a broader segment of the workforce to participate in digital innovation. This approach aligns with his broader vision—innovation should be accessible, not reserved for a technical elite.
Looking to the Future: AI, Ethics, and Sustainable Innovation
Gaur remains clear-eyed about where the tech industry is heading. Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics will continue to be foundational in shaping the next generation of enterprise software. Citing findings from the same industry survey, he notes that “73% of tech leaders cited expanding the use of AI within organizations as their top priority for 2025.”
However, he balances excitement with responsibility. Ethical innovation and data privacy are paramount in his approach. Every new product under his leadership must align with principles of security, reliability, and trust.
In the short term, Gaur is focused on expanding product adoption and increasing penetration into emerging markets. Long-term plans include deeper investments in R&D and further embedding AI into Infragistics’ core offerings—ensuring the company stays ahead in both technology and trust.
A Guiding Voice for Future Tech Entrepreneurs
For aspiring leaders in tech, Gaur offers a grounded yet forward-thinking perspective. “Success is not just about having the best product, but also about understanding your customers’ pain points and creating solutions that make a real impact,” he says.
He encourages new entrepreneurs to remain agile, build strong teams, and never lose sight of the customer. For him, true leadership is about enabling others—clients, employees, and partners—to succeed together.
