Last week was a good week. First we got the news that Aujas has won the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 India 2011 award. And just as we were about to start the celebrations, we got the news that we are also a NASSCOM EMERGE 50 2011 winner. What better way to begin the new quarter?

The Technology Fast 50 is a global program run by Deloitte, one of the Big 4 and a leading professional services firm. It is a pre-eminent technology awards program which ranks India’s 50 fastest-growing technology companies based on percentage revenue growth over three years. Deloitte has been running this program for last 7 years and previous winners include Fastpipe, iCreate, 3i Infotech and others. This is the first year Aujas participated in the program.

The EMERGE 50 is a program by NASSCOM to celebrate the spirit of entrepreneurship in the emerging business and showcasing success at early growth stage. The objective of NASSCOM EMERGE 50 is to recognize, celebrate, mentor, and offer crucial growth assistance to the next batch of 50 emerging companies. This is the second consecutive year for us where we are part of EMERGE 50.

As Gerard Ekedal said, “Recognition is the greatest motivator.” It is true for people, it is true for employees and it is true for companies as well. The awards are a recognition of all the hard work that everyone at Aujas has put into building a great company. It motivates all of us at Aujas, to try harder and do more as we help our clients “Manage Information Risk and Enhance Value”

Any significant achievement is only possible when everyone involved contributes significantly to the cause. A big thank you to all of the wonderful team at Aujas who have worked so hard to get us here, as well as our supportive Board and investors IDG Ventures India. Working with the team over these last few years through challenging times and creating an entity with 120 people, 150 customers in 15 countries has been a great journey and a life affirming experience about focus, commitment and humility.

We would also like to thank all our clients who have partnered with us in this journey and have guided, supported and helped us. As mentioned earlier, it only motivates us to do more for you and stretch the extra mile. style="font-size: 10px;">

The awards are a good encouragement on this long journey, but it is still a long road ahead. As a wise man once said, “Success is a journey and not a destination.”
