The focus going forward for Microland will be on technology that will do more and intrude less. “On an average, a company survives only 21 years, and we have gone on to our 30th year. It is important to look at what the future trend is, and enable the infrastructure as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the future,” says Pradeep Kar, Founder of Microland.

Microland sources say the company's revenues are close to $1 billion dollar. But the company, being privately held, does not disclose its revenues.

Microland has been enabling businesses optimise internal processes, interact with clients in innovative ways, and increase employee productivity.
