Launched in 2016 by Kshitish Purohit, Dartboard Analytics is a performance analytics and reporting solution for sales, support, and customer operations. The startup helps teams enhance their performance with advanced insights that drive efficiency and revenue. It generates easy to understand reports on deals, tickets, team, and organisations to further enhance productivity.”
Kshitish Purohit, founder, Dartboard Analytics said, “Dartboard Analytics started with the aim to break various data silos and give informational control to customer operations teams. For us, it made perfect sense to integrate our teams and products tightly to build a platform that integrates all facets of running a successful cloud business. With the merged setup, we now get to drive together with a converged vision for enterprise tech that goes much beyond software and into truly smart applications of technology.”
On the other hand, IndiQus Technologies was established in 2013 in Delhi. It is a boutique IT consulting and services company, enabling organisations across the globe to leverage their IT infrastructure to deliver maximum value.
Commenting on the acquisition, Sunando Bhattacharya, CEO, IndiQus Technologies said, “Being a bootstrapped and revenue-funded company, we have always looked at working with people who add significant value to our proposition. We started working with the Dartboard team on a partnership model initially, but quickly saw tremendous synergies and decided to acquire them. Not only does this acquisition provide a quantum jump to our product roadmap, but also fills some critical talent gaps in our team.”
