"The current funding will help us to expand globally while retaining our leadership position in the Indian market," said Rajinder Gandotra, founder and CEO of Avekshaa. "We aim to become the global market leader in the niche P-A-S-S (performance, availability, scalability and security) assurance space over the next five-six years targeting revenue of $100 million," he added.
The firm was started by a team of former Infosys executives -- Gandotra, Arun Ramu and Ashutosh Shinde, along with Ramnik Singh. Avekshaa provides niche solutions in the P-A-S-S assurance space to BFSI, telecom, retail, energy and utilities enterprise customers globally.
According to the company, close to 75 million devices are expected to be connected to the internet by 2020 and omni channel multi device retailing is the new norm. Global IP traffic has increased five-fold in the past five years and will increase further. Almost 50 per cent of most businesses' core processes will shift online/web based by 2020 and CIOs and enterprises world over are grappling with IT performance and scalability issues resulting in significant losses in revenues, customers, reputation and time-to-market.
