Yantra's CEO, Devdutt Yellurkar credits Yantra's customer-centric approach and complete synchronized supply chain offering with the company's 498 percentage revenue growth. According to Yellurkar, "Yantra's commitment to helping organizations such as Circuit City and SYSCO transform their business and address customer needs through superior technology solutions has made us a leader in our market. We are honored to be recognized by the Fast 500 program for our efforts."

"Attracting enough customers to maintain triple digit growth over five years makes a strong statement about the quality of a company's product and its leadership," said Mark Evans, national managing partner of Deloitte's Technology, Media & Telecommunications Group. "Yantra has shown the right stuff for growth."

In addition to ranking on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500, Yantra ranked 30 on the New England Technology Fast 50, which is a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology firms in New England.

Fast 500 Selection and Qualifications
The Fast 500 list is compiled from Deloitte's 19 regional North American Fast 50 programs, nominations submitted directly to the Fast 500, and public company database research. To qualify for the Fast 500, entrants must have had 1999 operating revenues of at least $50,000 USD and $75,000 CD for the United States and Canada, respectively; and 2003 operating revenues must be at least $1 million USD or CD.

Entrants must also be public or private companies headquartered in North America and must be a "technology company," defined as a company that owns proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues; or devotes a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology in a unique way does not qualify.
