As we are soon going to launch our Cloud Management software, we feel that data analytics would play an integral role in growing cloud businesses and this acquisition would help us build a huge differentiator in our software."
Commenting on the acquisition, IndiQus CTO K B Shiv Kumar said “Combining data analytics with cloud computing creates a 23Bil USD worldwide market opportunity. We are excited to welcome team Amicus in helping us create Version 2.0 of IndiQus."

Aditya, will also have an equity stake and join the Advisory Board of Indiqus.
Talking about the acquisition, Aditya states, "I am very pleased with this acquisition as Data Analytics has a far deeper play in the B2B space and I am sure that IndiQus would put the developed technology to great use in their product."
