Pratip Biswas

Founder & CEO Unified Infotech

Last Reviewed: September 19, 2026

Executive Summary

Pratip Biswas founded Unified Infotech in 2010 and has run it since as a custom software and digital product firm with a New York headquarters and its engineering centre in Kolkata. The model is a familiar one - client-facing presence in the United States, delivery capacity in India - but the positioning has shifted with the market rather than staying fixed on cost. The firm began in web and mobile application development and has moved into AI and machine learning, cloud, blockchain and IoT work, and it sells as much on process credibility as on price, holding ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certification and running a staff-augmentation practice aimed at clients who cannot hire the engineers they need. It now employs around 250 people and has served more than 300 clients, among them McGraw Hill, NBC Universal, the United Nations and Citibank. Its most substantive independent recognition is a place on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 in 2018.

Professional Journey

Nothing is publicly documented about Biswas before 2010, which is the year Unified Infotech was founded, so the professional record effectively begins with the company. He established it as a software development firm serving startups, small and medium businesses and enterprises, with the commercial function in New York and engineering in Kolkata.

The first phase of the business was web and mobile application development, a crowded field in which the differentiator is rarely the technology. What the company has built instead is a set of credibility markers that matter to the buyers it targets: ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certification, NASSCOM membership, high ratings on the agency directories that mid-market buyers use to shortlist vendors, and a portfolio containing organisations - McGraw Hill, NBC Universal, the United Nations, Citibank - whose procurement processes are themselves a form of vetting. Growth was quick enough by the late 2010s to put the firm on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 in 2018 and later on the Inc. 5000.

The second phase has followed the technology cycle. The practice now spans AI and machine learning, cloud, blockchain and IoT alongside the original web and mobile work, with digital product engineering as the framing. Biswas has also pushed staff augmentation as a distinct line, which is a direct response to the hiring problem his clients face: a company that cannot recruit engineers locally at a workable price can rent a team rather than commission a project. He has described the firm’s commitments in those terms, helping clients adopt emerging technology securely while addressing talent shortages through augmentation.

Alongside running the business he has built a modest public profile as a writer, contributing on digital transformation, blockchain and applied AI to IoT For All, The Next Web, Lifehack and Business2Community. The company was also recognised at the Indian Business Excellence Awards in 2025, though that particular honour comes from a trade magazine programme rather than an editorial process and carries correspondingly little weight.
