Vinny Alex has served as the CEO of Stylus, Inc. since 2003. An engineer with an MBA from Cochin University’s School of Management Studies (CUSAT),one of the oldest B-schools in India.

After a highly successful stint with Wipro, where he became one of the company‘s youngest Regional Managers, he went on to specialize in computer networks, becoming a Microsoft Certified Professional in 1997.
His love for teaching took him back to his alma mater, and he worked as Visiting Faculty for Marketing (Product Management) for 3 years. During this time, he also served as consultant with multi-location firms on Channel Strategy and Management.
He joined Stylus as HCM and Finance manager in 2001 and became the CEO in 2003.
When TA was established in October 2005, as a spin-off from Stylus, Vinny brought in his expertise into execution, sales, marketing and management. Apart from this, he also has a bird’s eye view on the overall scheme of things and serves on the Board of Directors.
Thomas Parackal, Business Head - Financial Services
Thomas Parackal joined TA‘s parent company Stylus Inc. in November 2000 as the Operations Manager. Currently, he is the Business Head for Financial Services at StylusInc. and is also on the Board of Directors.
An engineer turned CFO, Thomas is passionate about breaking boundaries and re-defining existing norms. He graduated with top academic scores and has had a brilliant career with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Wipro-GE and Birla Technologies.
With over 15 years of management expertise to his credit, Thomas considers his current role as more “a stewardship call than a career choice.” Even as he keeps a keen eye on TA’s steep growth, Thomas gives great importance to sustaining this growth with a balanced scorecard framework, and anchored on certain core values. A true strategic analyst, Thomas reckons that the best way to use life is to use it for something that outlasts life itself. His vision for TA is to found a finance and accounting outsourcing company with a difference,one that is founded on values and identifies, unlocks and engages the true potential in people.
Ranjit Mathew, Chief Technical Officer
His thoughts are numerous, his words measured. His careful gait, dynamic approach and reassuring smile are in stark contrast to his sharp mind, ticking away faster than a proactive time bomb!
Waging a war against mediocrity and purposelessness and, urging his troops onto excellence, Ranjit faces the heat of battle at Thomas and Alex with all the clarity and vision of the inspired leader.
Coincidentally, the one plan of action that he echoes is that of the late Gen. Eisenhower:”In preparing for battle, I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.” With remarkable foresight, Ranjit is one among the few who can tell the difference between the two. While plans often reflect rigidity and an inability to think outside the box, planning epitomizes flexibility, adaptability and… Ranjit Mathew!
With experience garnered over 14 years in operations & project management, Ranjit is not just a capable professional, but a visionary leader. He joined the team in May 2005, and has played a major role in evolving the value statement of the company.
Instinctively, Ranjit is always on the lookout to re-define the conventional understanding of ‘business’ and make it an agent of tansformation. The value based company that TA now is, testifies to Ranjit’s desire and determination to influence lives.
