Conceived in 2012, Crayon Data (www.crayondata.com) was set-up with one clear ambition in mind – simplify and democratize the world of Big Data.
With the company’s headquarters in Singapore and key development center in Chennai, Crayon has been able to make impressive inroads into the global market in a very short period of time. From securing clients, to increasing revenue traction and exploring funding, the company has surely embarked upon an ambitious journey. The recent acquisition of the Singapore based company One Drop Analytics has given Crayon a new proficiency stance.
Founded by Suresh V Shankar, Crayon’s growth driver remains the talent pool supported by a robust team of seasoned entrepreneurs and industry experts. Suresh is a pioneer in the field of analytics. He had earlier laid the foundation for RedPill Solutions in 2000 which was later acquired by IBM in 2009.
