Competing with players that have been well established in the market space, ActiveLoc had to work round the clock to get a foothold in the market. “In the beginning, it was challenging for us to get sufficient funds to invest in the right talents, tools and technologies. Our success came from the fact that we were never ready to give up on our dreams and this never quit mentality has helped us to achieve a respectable position in the Indian language translation market space. Owing to our industry expertise and experience we were able to be a one-stop-shop that offers bespoke solutions to our clients. Apart from the translation services we are also providing end to end localized app deployment services too”, says Deepak.
