Since Banerjee’s decision to raise growth capital and add strategic investors to the company’s Board, the company has shown exceptional results – monthly recurring revenue run rate is now up 107%, the number of office locations has doubled, the employee base has more than doubled, and, best of all, the customer base has increased 344%.
