FusionCharts (FC) came into being because as a teenager Pallav Nadhani,
now 27, hated asking his dad for pocket money. He was all of 17 when he
discovered that making excel charts interactive and fun could earn him big
bucks. In 2002, Nadhani launched the first version of FC using macromedia flash
that made charts interactive and he hasn’t looked back since. With 85% of
Fortune 500 companies, including IBM, Coca-Cola, Cisco, Intel, Apple, and the
US government as its customers, FC hasn’t felt the need to raise money from
outside investors.
All the charts on LinkedIn and Google Drive are powered by this
company. Its products are used in areas like business intelligence where data visualization
plays a key role. FC has over 90 chart types and hopes to grow at least 20% on
a year-on-year basis driven by new product launches. The company has just
launched Collabion charts, which create insightful dashboards for Microsoft
Sharepoint, and will be launching Oofmo next month, which brings the FC suite
to Microsoft PowerPoint. “Our products are popular because they turn data into
delight in minutes,” says Nadhani.
