| Investing
into a new future |
| The
company was largely self-funded in the
first phase of it’s existence
from 1991-1999. In the 2nd phase (starting
late 1999), the company sought VC investments
to build Indian language software for
web applications and low cost messaging
and collaboration software. The company
received funds from private investors
and institutional funds such as the
National Venture Fund for Software and
IT Industry (NFSIT), set up by IDBI
and SIDBI in association with Ministry
of Information and Communication Technology
(MICT), Government of India, and was
successful in creating world-class software
(IndiaInteractive and ConnectServer)
on extremely tight budgets. |
