Growing an IT services startup as a corporate supplier requires developing a full understanding of the corporate business process. TekWissen gained that initial knowledge with the focused assistance of the UPS Supplier Diversity mentoring program.

The United Parcel Service (UPS) Supplier Diversity Program, led by Supplier Diversity Director Estrella Cramer, is recognized as one of the premier and most successful corporate diversity programs in corporate America. The larger program includes a variety of initiatives and efforts, and one that particularly stands out is the supplier mentorship program. This benchmark program involves people from across UPS business functions to help diverse businesses, through education and the improvement of business processes, gain a competitive edge to increase opportunities to win corporate contracts. The outstanding success of the mentorship program is reflected in the success of suppliers like TekWissen, a technology company cofounded by Manish and Sanjeev Senta that brings value to UPS.
