We make Magic here, We are MASTEKEERS

Mastek stands for Management & Software Technology. Mastek is committed to individuals and institutions being the best they can be. Mastekeer is anyone who works for Mastek or has worked for Mastek.

Mastek creates leaders and our philosophy is “Once a Mastekeer always a Mastekeer”.

We started our journey in 1982 as one of the first IT companies in India & we believe that sustained contribution & a spotless reputation over the long run are more important than short-term growth and profits.
