Our Story
Vivek completed his data science studies at university only to face the infamous dot com crash.
He secures employment troubleshooting CRM processes only to become frustrated to learn that it is more interested in peddling products than solving business problems.
Feeling unfulfilled in her successful pharma sales & training career, Meeta engages in lively conversations with Vivek on family holidays.
They discuss their unmet ambitions to apply their extensive commercial and technical backgrounds to impact small to medium-sized companies positively.
Ultimately, they founded Caldere, committed to improving information quality and business processes for the passionate people who operate them. Today, we remain dedicated to this mission, helping small and medium-sized businesses optimize operations and enhance customer experience through our specialized CRM and CXM solutions.

They have always been professional and helpful.Posted on Charlotte Courage PikeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Caldere team are excellent, I've needed a few different tweaks to my Zoho apps and each time, Meeta and the team have absolutely smashed it. Meeta is a fountain of knowledge, not only from a Zoho technical standpoint, but with helping you as a business owner see the bigger picture to future-proof your ideas as you scale. I'm not hugely tech-savvy when it comes to the behind-the-scenes workings of IT systems but Caldere Associates manage to take my half-worked ideas, turn them into a workable process, and then implement it perfectly.Posted on David EgertonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have worked with Graeme and Meeta and collaborated on several Zoho client installations.

Graeme and Meeta helped us to choose the right CRM software for our firm and get it all set up, before training our staff on how to use it for the best results. We've been using Zoho for about eight months now and have seen a big increase in enquiries and conversions, thanks to Caldere and the team's ongoing support. We'd highly recommend Caldere Associates to any small to medium business looking to implement a CRM from scratch, we couldn't be happier with the service and support we've received.Posted on Justin PercivalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
