SPECIAL MORGO ADD-ON WORKSHOP: How to grow your software business from $2M to $10M turnover

We're excited to announce a free MORGO add-on workshop with Indian software superstar Anand Deshpande on how to take a software business from $2M to 10M!

Successful Indian software entrepreneur, Anand Deshpande of Persistent Systems, says there is a simple formula for how to grow a software company from $2M to $10M turnover. Anand says that in India many companies fail to make this transition and so fall back on being lifestyle companies.
