"Attracting enough customers to maintain triple digit growth

"Yantra has shown the right stuff for growth."

ranked 30 on the New England Technology Fast 50, which is a ranking

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.
