Feb. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Menlo Park, CA, Pune, India and Chennai, India: The One Million by One Million (1M/1M) initiative and Persistent Systems have announced that OrangeScape is the first company in India to benefit from their new partnership to bring technologies from start-up companies to market. The 1M/1M initiative set up in Silicon Valley by Sramana Mitra has a goal to help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual revenue and beyond.  

Headquartered in Pune, India, Persistent Systems is a leader in outsourced product development. Persistent works with more than 250 customers and serves as a reseller and channel for products from select 1M/1M entrepreneurs. In addition, Persistent Systems also provides outsourced product development services to some of these companies.

Headquartered in Chennai, India, OrangeScape is a technology platform company founded in 2003 with a vision of simplifying business application development. OrangeScape provides a Visual Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) to build domain rich solutions, in the easiest and the fastest manner and can be deployed on any cloud.  OrangeScape has a marquee customer list comprising Unilever, Citibank, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Sterlite and 50 other large enterprises. OrangeScape is in the Gartner’s Global Top 10 list of PaaS competitive landscape. While OrangeScape is an established leader in the Asia Pacific Region with sustainable business and revenues, their US focus gets additional thrust and will benefit from the 1M/1M and Persistent partnership.

"The 1M/1M philosophy is to focus our entrepreneurs on customer acquisition and revenue without burning through a huge amount of cash in building expensive channels,” explains Sramana Mitra, founder of 1M/1M. “Our partnership with Persistent Systems is focused on taking promising small companies to market, efficiently. OrangeScape is one of the most promising Indian product companies we have seen so far, and we see an exciting opportunity for them to enhance the capabilities of Google’s App Engine in long tail enterprise apps. Over time, we foresee OrangeScape becoming a leader in the A-PaaS (Application PaaS) space and also a cornerstone of the Google enterprise solution portfolio."

"We at Persistent are very excited to work with 1M/1M in helping entrepreneurs succeed by bringing new technologies to market,” shares Dr. Anand Deshpande, Chairman and Managing Director, Persistent Systems. “We have been proactively investing in Cloud Computing, and believe that OrangeScape’s Platform as a Service (PaaS) product will nicely supplement our portfolio of cloud technologies to provide large enterprises an app platform in the Cloud and use PaaS for ISVs migrating to SaaS. OrangeScape, when sold through the right channels, can have a significant impact in the market.”

“This deal with Persistent Systems will bring OrangeScape a cost-effective go-to-market solution through their global sales team and offshore backed enterprise implementation support through technology experts in Persistent’s Cloud Practice,” adds Suresh Sambandam, Founder and CEO at OrangeScape. “I also take the opportunity to recommend 1M/1M as a great program for Indian entrepreneurs looking to access US customers. Sramana’s extensive experience and rolodex has helped us zero-in on an immediately actionable revenue-focused strategy and engage the Persistent sales force with great commitment and enthusiasm.”
