He began his career working for a software firm developing mobile applications. Living in Nerul, his work had him commute to SEEPZ Andheri daily, using a train between Nerul and Kurla, then a bus and after that an auto-rickshaw. He faced uncertainty as regards to train schedules, more so in the evening on his way back home. According to Teke, the need for a reliable schedule information system was fundamental, considering the number of commuters who travel by train, however it was not available. Teke therefore decided to create one himself, for which he quit his job in 2010
