Our Story

Digital Creed began as a blog called TechWow, which is still online. The first posting on the blog “Hello World” appeared in March 2009. The blog was updated until June 2015. And then the postings continued on Digital Creed.

Digital Creed was founded in March 2015 and is an initiative by veteran technology journalist Brian Pereira, who is now an influencer with thousands of followers on social media. He is the Former Editor of InformationWeek, CHIP Magazine, and CISO MAG.
Brian has also served tech publications at The Times of India, Indian Express Newspapers and BW BusinessWorld. He has nearly three decades of editorial experience (since September 1994) and has written many articles on business technology. He has interviewed more than 300 industry professionals in India and overseas. Brian is also a former programmer and computer instructor. He has also acquired multiple certifications.

Founder’s Story

In 1989, the demand for computer operators soared in India. Computer classes mushroomed and there were training businesses operating from even one-room homes in India. The organized sector did well, with its network of franchisees — Aptech, NIIT, Datapro and others. But the unorganized sector did a shoddy job and left students and working professionals dissatisfied.
I began teaching through a consultant organization at the Kirti College, at Dadar (W) in Mumbai. I would coach corporates during the day and do a bit of programming work in the evenings. I worked on a database application for a cooperative bank in Dadar (W), Mumbai.

But I was curious and hungry for knowledge. There was no Internet back then, so my knowledge sources were computer books, manuals and computer magazines. I began to learn on my own — reading, experimenting, trying out stuff in the lab. Then friends and relatives asked me to teach them computers. I was only too happy to share my knowledge. Folks in the neighbourhood were migrating to Canada, New Zealand and Australia in the early nineties and a key requirement then was (and still is) computer skills. They wanted “crash courses” — I obliged.
I set up a small classroom in my home and soon there was a steady stream of students for the evening batches. Everyone wanted personalised coaching. They did not want to go to a computer institute!

And that’s how I developed my foundational knowledge of technology. Over the years, I went in for Microsoft (and other) certifications. And I have never stopped learning ever since.

In 1994, the Indian Express asked me to join their Editorial Team for Express Computer — and that’s how I got into technology journalism.
