Measuring revenue growth over the last three financial years, Deloitte has ranked the 50 fastest growing tech companies in India. A roundup of the top ten.
Deloitte Technology Fast 50 is an annual ranking of strong performers in India’s vibrant tech landscape. The list “recognises, honours, and encourages businesses and entrepreneurs who have achieved remarkable revenue growth rates by harnessing technology, innovations, and skilled human resources,” according to Deloitte partner and Fast 50 programme director Rajiv Sundar.
This year’s rankings reveal a clear dominance for India’s booming FinTech sector – home to four out of the top 10. That said, most technology companies with a strong purpose had a stellar 2020, spurred on by the pandemic-induced reliance on the digital sphere for business and consumption – against the backdrop of an intensifying digital transformation story.
