"AWS, Microsoft Cloud, and Google Cloud, some of the industry's hyperscale giants, release tens of thousands of major features every year. This number used to be in the mere hundreds some years ago.

This commitment toward innovation has led us to be the winners of 6 major awards in 6 years from giants like Microsoft and Amazon," he adds.
The startup's growth roadmap encompasses three strategies. First, it will expand geographically, tapping into new markets globally, and diversifying its customer base. Second, dedicated teams are being formed to facilitate its international expansion, ensuring a deep understanding of local dynamics and customer needs.
