Mitsuru Ota

Why Joined VE-TRI

For 20 years, I worked in the Information Systems Department of a user company, gaining extensive experience in IT strategy planning, system development, and operations. I wanted to leverage this practical expertise in a broader context and contribute to solving diverse business challenges.

VE-TRI’s unique business model—connecting Japan and India and expanding beyond IT services into trade and business consulting—strongly appealed to me. Its potential for growth and its willingness to take on new challenges were decisive factors in my decision to join the company.

Workplace Environment

VE-TRI embraces the agility and openness of a startup. It’s a place where new ideas are welcome, and people are encouraged to take initiative regardless of age or title.

I feel a strong sense of unity among the team, as we support one another while continuously taking on new challenges. The multicultural environment, driven by collaboration between Japan and India, also provides valuable learning opportunities and daily inspiration.

My Role & Responsibilities

In my current role, I combine the perspectives I developed as a long-time user-side IT professional with the viewpoint of a solution provider.

I focus on more than just implementing systems; I prioritize:

Coordinating communication between customers
Building relationships with vendors
Maximizing the overall value of the project

My aim is to act as a bridge—strengthening collaboration between all stakeholders and ensuring that each project delivers meaningful business impact.
Additionally, VE-TRI’s diverse business domains, including international trade and business consulting, offer me constant opportunities to broaden my professional horizons.

Future Vision

VE-TRI plans to expand its presence beyond Japan and India into additional countries and regions. I hope to contribute to this global expansion and take part in projects that cross borders and industries.

My vision is to help position VE-TRI as a trusted partner on the global stage, working alongside talented engineers and consultants with creativity, flexibility, and a strong drive for innovation.

If you are looking to take your first step toward a global career—starting from Japan and India and reaching out to the world—VE-TRI is the ideal place.

We look forward to welcoming engineers who are ready to grow with us and help shape the future together.
