| Investing into a new future |
|
The company was largely self-funded in the first phase of its 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 (India Interactive and Connect Server) on extremely tight budgets (at approximately 5-10% of the cost of building such solutions anywhere else in the world). |
