As a CEO, Sagar notes that it is important to know when it is appropriate to step back and when to be hyper-involved for the company’s sake. “The areas you may need to pay the closest attention to may only sometimes be what drives your passions, such as investors, boards, and keeping your largest customers satisfied,” he says. “This is true for me as an engineer who built a career focused on technology, products, and innovation, and not finance, business, and customer management.” Under Sagar’s capable leadership, Discovery Partners is currently entering a new phase of growth, in which Sagar’s role is shifting. The company is now at in a position where Sagar will be stepping back from managing customers and services and into a more strategic role looking at opportunities for scale. This would include truly listening to customer needs and seeking out gaps in the market, such as the opportunity to help other companies with specialised growth strategies. “One of the questions I am grappling with is how we leverage what we have done and what we have learned to help other companies and CEOs,” Sagar tells us. “Many of the management books focus on large companies or assume a cookie-cutter approach that values efficiency or people – rarely both. Solutions are often overengineered for small companies; there needs to be a new path that balances the needs of small businesses while being hyper-aware of their unique constraints.” Moving forward, it appears that Discovery Partners is approaching an exciting period of change as it continues to expand and enhance its offerings. We have no doubts about the company’s success when driven by Sagar Parikh, a technological savant whose stellar leadership has earned him the title of the Most Influential CEO 2024 in Boutique Technology Services – Colorado.
