From Inspiration to Innovation: The CTS Story
Visionary Beginnings
In 2010, Sachin Gujral, a visionary with a deep passion for technology, founded CTS. With a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology and a decade of experience on Wall Street, Sachin was driven by a desire to help organizations overcome IT challenges and harness the power of technology to achieve their missions.
The Turning Point
Our journey took a transformative turn in 2012 when a struggling charter school in Brooklyn reached out to us. Their IT infrastructure was hampering their educational efforts, and they needed help. Sachin and his team dedicated themselves to resolving the issues, optimizing the school’s IT systems, and earning the trust of the administrators. This pivotal experience inspired Sachin to focus on delivering high-quality, cost-effective technology solutions that empower schools, nonprofits, and other mission-driven organizations.
Growth Fueled by Passion and Commitment
By 2015, CTS was serving 25 organizations, driven by the philosophy that technology should serve an organization’s goals, not the other way around. In homage to its origins, CTS stands for Charter Technology Solutions, a testament to the first client that shaped our mission.
Today, CTS supports mission-driven organizations across the country, upholding the values instilled by its founder: hard work, frugality, value-consciousness, innovation, automation, and a rich customer experience.
The Heart and Soul of CTS:
Sachin Gujral
Sachin’s story is one of resilience and determination. Born to Indian parents in Mozambique, Sachin faced extreme challenges from poverty and lack of opportunity. Despite losing his parents at a young age, he inherited a strong work ethic and a commitment to perseverance. Before turning 18, Sachin had lived on three continents, learned five languages, and held numerous jobs. His adventurous upbringing and diverse experiences fueled his entrepreneurial spirit, leading him to create CTS.
