Sooriya hospital, a renowned hospital in Chennai wanted to grow their corporate image online. The company was looking for an expert in the internet field to bring life to their website. It turned to Concern Infotech who started by redesigning the entire website and by doing search engine optimization. “We highlighted the departments that they have and also their consultants. We added features that allow users to get online appointments. Earlier only big hospitals like Apollo would appear on the first page of Google while searching for multi-specialty hospital in Chennai. Now, Sooriya hospital is there as well,” says Ishrat Akhter, CEO and Founder of Concern Infotech.

Sooriya hospital is just one of the clients of the company. Concern has made websites for many other organizations like indiaseafoodexpo.com, CryogenicoxygenPlants.com, AzadIndia.org, smjesc.biz, nithyconsultancy.com, Jggroup.in and many more. There are many companies that are providing website design, website optimization, web based applications but customers often find it difficult to find all these services at one place. Concern has been able to bring together all internet related services under one banner, and hence is preferred by clients as they don’t have to spend in fragmented pockets.

Concern Infotech offer services like Domain Booking, Content Management, Web hosting, Designing, Maintenance, Development, Search Engine Optimization, Logo Designing, Brochure designing, and CD/multimedia presentation. Akhter says that these end-to-end solutions offer them a unique advantage over competitors. Since its inception in 2000, Concern has been able to capture more than 65 clients.

Akhter started this company with the help of her mother and brother. Back in those days the internet had just started to prosper around the world but soon the crash came. The company has faced its own share of challenges as well. In fact the company almost shut down after a couple years in existence and was mostly inactive for a couple of years, says Akhter. But even through tough times like this, Akhter never gave up hope and was back and running in 2005.

Today, Concern Infotech runs successful portals of its own. Thisismyindia.com has more than six lakh unique visitors every month. Civilserviceindia.com is the leading website on IAS exams and is hugely popular with students just as CoachingIndians.com. With the launch of websites like amlaan.com, latestgreetingcards.com and bhartiads.com, Concern has taken the next leap.
