BEST OF HARIHARAN UPGRADE
While he isn’t looking to upgrade his 12-year-old Honda car yet, he’s a self-confessed gadget geek who loves trying the latest tech products and wearables. “There’s one that studies my breathing patterns to see if I am stressed,” he says. “Who knows where the valuations will be three months or six months from now?” Viswanathan says his new-found billionaire status hasn’t changed his life and he’s aware that these are paper riches. “We want to replicate all that we have done in the United States in European markets as well.” His goal is to create a war chest of $675 million over the next five years. He says that while the company has $55 million in cash, the IPO was necessary to gain visibility and attract talent. Viswanathan is focused on keeping the operations frugal. “We also don’t sell to the CIOS we sell to the heads of marketing and CRM (customer relationship management) and supply chain.” “We sell only to the largest companies in the world thereby getting good margins,” he says. The firm picked up after it secured U.S clients and later clients in Europe. Viswanathan outlines his sales strategy. The initial years of Latent View from 2006 to 2010 were slow as they sought to “bring to life the hidden insights in a business” through data analytics.

His wife, who has a computer science engineering degree from BITS Pilani and a post graduate diploma in management from IIM Kolkata, had worked at IBM and Ford in the finance area. A civil engineer from IIT Madras with a post graduate diploma in management from the premier Indian Institute of Management (IIM) in Kolkata, Viswanathan had worked in tech and sales at IT giant Cognizant and credit ratings firm ICRA. A third founder Ramesh Hariharan–who is now the chief technology officer-joined three months later. The entrepreneur and his wife cofounded the company in January 2006. “We are too small in the grand scheme of things. “The reason we did the IPO was to do justice to this market opportunity,” says Viswanathan. The firm is also hoping to take a bigger bite out of the $174 billion (fiscal 2020) global data analytics market, which is expected to grow at an 18% compounded rate, touching $333 billion by fiscal 2024, according to analysts at Investmentz, a Mumbai research and advisory portal.
