California technology company opens new operation in Chardon

Bala Ramaiah, CEO of ISSQUARED Inc., is putting so much into the company’s new operations and training center in Chardon that he said, “I’m building it all over from scratch.”

Ramaiah wasn’t referring to his business, which will continue to remain headquartered in Westlake Village, California. He was referring to his family life.

The three-story building was purchased late in 2020 for $1.3 million from an affiliate of the Dolan family, which includes the Cleveland Guardians baseball team among its holdings.
