The website design and development market has been through many tectonic shifts due to the advent and continuous churn of new technologies. It is critical for companies to be in sync with these trends to remain relevant to their stakeholders and to retain their competitive edge. Recognizing this need, coupled with their founder's zeal of taking on the challenge to address it saw the birth of Runtime Solutions in 2010. Runtime Solutions is a web development and Internet Marketing firm, providing targeted solutions, with a sharp focus on digital and business consulting. The company, over the years, has kept its fundamentals rock solid - good user interfaces, robust technology, continuous innovation and solid customer support. Runtime strongly believes in keeping tuned-in to the latest technological trends and then co-opting them into customer engagements.

Tailored to the industry's culture and best practices, this Mumbai-based company with offices in Kolkata and Delhi and overseas in the US understands briefs inside-out and delivers products keeping the unique needs of clients in mind. To achieve this, they have come up with short term, mid-term and long term strategies which keep them one step ahead in this hyper-competitive market. While their short-term plan includes growing the key functions of Ops, Tech and BD, in parallel they are developing an Application which will smarten housing societies across the country. They have innovations for corporate on-ground events using RFID, Augmented Reality and other technologies. Tie-ups with creative, direct marketing and larger digital agencies are also afoot to unlock value - "Collaboration is the new Competition "

Mid-term plans include increasing roll-out of Mobile Applications and video production for the digital ecosystem. They offer consulting to start-ups, e-Commerce and brands on a strategic level. Their long-term plan includes offering solutions to social networking platforms which are custom-built targeting Social 3.0 to make Social big data analytics more intuitive.

As mobile proliferation has resulted in a demand for websites to travel seamlessly across devices, a key part of what they address is to make websites device and browser agnostic. Runtime believes in strengthening relationships, both product and experience with their clients by using 2-way communication. Arjun Chatterjee, Founder & CEO, asserts, "Though there are several digital agencies, getting product and marketing orientation into client briefs is something that is a critical differentiating factor, coupled with our robust delivery mechanism. We identify key business challenges rather than pure-play technology challenges, which ensures we have a fuller appreciation of business problems and makes our solutions nuanced and scalable". The company is focused on Digital Innovation and constant value addition by creating a slew of products � Social Networking Platform, CRM, Voting Platforms and Artiste Management.

Having creativity ingrained in their DNA, Runtime boasts of a young team of 30 who have the ability to deliver the unexpected. Being counted among the top 25 web design and development companies in Mumbai, their work has been certified by CRISIL, ISO 9001: 2008 and they recently won 2 Golds at the Socialathon Awards (India & APAC) in August 2014. The company takes pride in its clients such as Doordarshan Kendra � Mumbai, Monster, Furtados and CMS Computers amongst others. Growing steadily over the last 5 years, their revenue grew at the rate of 50% + in 2013-14 over 2012-13, it seems that Runtime's run time has just begun.
