Subash is an energetic and inspiring individual who can make anybody a believer in how valuable their data is. They see value in data when others just see it as a thing to retain and archive. When Subash hears of a company using an application to run their business and doesn't use any of it, they get pumped because that indicates there is a ton of valuable data.
