Visesh Infotecnics Ltd. (formerly known as Visesh Infosystems Ltd.) today announced that it ranked Number 167 on the First 250 of the Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Asia Pacific Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the fast growing technology companies in Asia Pacific. Rankings are based on three-year percentage revenue growth. Visesh Infotecnics Ltd. grew 96 percent during this period.

Visesh Infotecnics Ltd.'s CEO, credits the strong customer focus and the domain
expertise of its technical team with the company's 96 % revenue growth over the past three years. He said, "It is the strong capabilities of our team and their untiring efforts at keeping customer commitments, that has paved the way for such growth. We expect to set new benchmarks in quality, performance and growth this year with the recent changes effected in the Company and establish a niche for ourselves in Global markets as well."

"Even though this has been a tough period for the technology industry across the region, the average revenue growth for the companies on the list was 385% over three years, and for the top five winners - 7,404%," said Mr Ian Thatcher, Lead Partner, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Asia Pacific Technology Fast 500.

The winning companies came from new and established businesses and from across Asia Pacific and industry sectors. 

Mr. Thatcher said, "The rapid growth is not limited to emerging companies, but includes some well established and mature businesses. Sixty companies identified in the Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Technology Fast 500 had revenues in excess of USD100M which demonstrates high growth is not limited to new or early stage companies".

As part of the Asia Pacific Technology Fast 500, DTT surveyed 150 CEOs from across the region to gain their views on key issues and challenges facing their business. The findings show that CEOs are very confident about their growth prospects over the coming year, with the majority planning to increase their headcount as they grow their companies locally, regionally and globally.

"In fact Asia Pacific Technology companies appear to be more optimistic about their future growth, compared to their peers in Europe and the US. This is not surprising given China and India are two of the fastest growing economies in the world, with China being regarded (among those surveyed) as the most opportune market place," said Mr. Thatcher.
