In a sense, Swiftlet began over a decade ago, when founder Arthit Hongchintakul went to work with software giant ThoughtWorks in the United States. It was there he cut his teeth with a tight-knit group of developers, learning the ropes of the industry, taking note of the way ThoughtWorks diligently implemented agile methodology in order to consistently bring out the best from its employees.
Camaraderie, challenge, collaboration, a characteristic drive to be better today than yesterday. Under these principles Arthit and his co-workers transformed from greenhorn post-grads to confident professionals who loved to go to work. When Arthit returned to Thailand, he knew what he wanted to do, and he knew how to do it, too.
His brainchild, Swiftlet, would be guided by the same values that turned him into a professional.
