What challenges are you facing in expanding your presence in the market?
India predominantly being an IT services player, product companies like ours which are in minority need more encouraging macro-economic environment for attaining formidable growth. Globally the challenge is that Indian companies have not carved a niche for themselves as enterprise software products companies and we face competition from large multi-national companies with big marketing budgets. We are working with NASSCOM to promote product companies in domestic and international markets, but we need more entrepreneurs taking this route with a determination to make India a destination for worldclass software products.
What is your key strategy to compete with other major counterparts in the market?
Technological innovation is our weapon to compete with global counterparts in the market. Our strength lies in helping enterprises build agility in the fastest possible way, because time to deliver is the critical factor that brings them more revenues and improve customer mindshare. Our platform is architected in such a way that components can be re-used to bring down application development and deployment cycles drastically. Various solutions like customer onboarding, customer communications management, B2B and B2C self-service portals and modernisation of order management are developed using our platform. The strength of the platform lies in rendering itself for development and deployment of mission critical applications in fastest possible time.
What are your views on Government of India’s flagship schemes like “Make in India” and “Digital India”?
Digital India initiative of the government is a step in the right direction. This will put India as a formidable economic player in the International market, bringing in new investments, reduce operational expenses of rolling out citizen services, and enhance citizen experience by making it convenient to manage services through digital channels. We plan to work closely with Government of India to make this a reality in fastest possible time.
