India may not a big player in the west-dominated cloud-based solution providers’ market, but certain start-ups from the sub-continent are determined to get India on that map. One of them is Bangalore (read it as the next Silicon Valley)-based LinkStreet, which has secured an undisclosed Series A investment (Via Yourstory) from Faering Capital India Evolving Fund.
LinkStreet’s founders aren’t some fresh college graduates. They are seasoned professionals and includes the likes of Arun Muthukumar and Vikram Ramakrishnan who have previously worked at major firms like Cisco, Booz & Company, Bell Labs and Lehman Brothers.
The company aims to use this funding for business and product development. It has already set up plans to quadruplicate its current client base and double its revenue.
LinkStreet provides cloud-based solutions which also includes video tutorials. Its cloud based, end-to-end, modular software platform enables the full create – store – manage – deliver – monetize cycle to institutionalize learning.
