Welcome to our new blog site – where Dr. Anand Desphande and I will be posting and moderating discussions around growing to the next level.. for small companies in the Rs 5 crore range.
Our experience has been that, afer starting up and becoming viable, companies often hit a wall – they struggle to grow. What brought them to this point doesnt help them get to the next level. We have worked with literally hundreds of small companies both directly and in seminars over the past fifteen years, and we have found that the issues are pretty common. In this blog, we will disuss these and invite you to share your experiences and wisdom. To reiterate, we are not looking at start-ups, nor are we looking at larger companies who are growing well, not larger companies who are NOT growing. Those issues are different, and need to be discussed differently.
Dr. Anand Deshpande, alumnus of IIT Kharagpur and Indiana University, is founder and Chairman of Persistent Systems Ltd. in Pune, and has personally steered his company through these very rapids.. Persistent System is now a public listed company, with revenues in the range of $400 to $500 Million a year.
