Four reasons to stop at Booth 9
Our theme is not a tagline — it is how the group is built. Here is each word, and what stands behind it.
Staffing on both sides of the ocean
350+ professionals across nine offices, placed and managed by a firm that has been hiring in this market since 2004. Thoughtwave India adds something most US firms cannot offer: domestic staffing inside India, placing talent with Indian enterprises as well as serving US clients from Hyderabad. One partner, both markets. SwarmHR if you would rather run HR, payroll and accounting on one platform.
IT workforce solutionsAI that is already in production
Agentic accelerators running against live CRM, ERP and ticketing systems — not demos. Data platform modernization on Microsoft Fabric, and self-hosted architecture for teams that cannot send data to an external model API.
See the accelerator portfolioA group that compounds, not just a vendor
Fifteen companies across IT, hospitality and real estate — including $200M+ in real-estate assets under management across 9 states, spanning multifamily, government-tenant commercial, day care, healthcare and retail. If you are looking at partnerships, acquisitions or property, that is a different conversation from the rest of the hall — and a welcome one.

Frequently asked questions
- Where is the Thoughtwave booth at ITServe Synergy 2026?
- Thoughtwave Group is at Booth 9 at ITServe Alliance Synergy 2026, held at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center Hotel, 1551 N Thoreau Dr, Schaumburg, Illinois 60173, in the Chicago metropolitan area. The booth is staffed from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM CST on Thursday 29 and Friday 30 October 2026.
- What are the Thoughtwave booth hours at Synergy 2026?
- 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Standard Time on both 29 and 30 October 2026. The wider Synergy conference runs 28–30 October; the Thoughtwave booth is staffed on the 29th and 30th.

Hospitality: Taste of India and Curry Naan Stop Grill. Real estate and investments: MMT Realty, SSRT Realty, TPM Windy City, Tak Windy City and Thoughtwave Investments.
- Does Thoughtwave do staffing inside India, or only offshore delivery for US clients?
- Both. Thoughtwave India, established in 2008 and based in Hyderabad, runs domestic staffing within India — placing IT talent directly with Indian enterprises — alongside its role as the group's global delivery centre serving US clients. That means one partner can cover hiring in both markets rather than offshore delivery alone.
- Who from Thoughtwave is at Synergy 2026?
- Ramesh Thumu, Founder and President of the Thoughtwave Group, who is also an Elite Member of Synergy 2026 and Chair of the ITServe Startup Cube 2026; Prem Jagatheesan, Group CEO; and Chaitanya Pathivada, IT Manager. More of the team joins across both days at Booth 9.
- What is the Thoughtwave Group's real estate portfolio?
- The Thoughtwave Group manages more than $200 million in real-estate assets across 9 states, through five entities: MMT Realty, SSRT Realty, TPM Windy City, Tak Windy City and Thoughtwave Investments. The portfolio is deliberately diversified across five asset classes — multifamily, government-tenant commercial, day care, healthcare and retail.
- Is Thoughtwave a minority-owned business, and does it hold a GSA contract?
- Both. Thoughtwave Software & Solutions Inc is a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract holder under contract 47QTCA24D008D. The company has operated continuously since 2004 from Aurora, Illinois, with 350+ professionals across nine offices. Full credential detail, with issuing authorities, is published on our trust page.
