The company operates through 3 business segments:
"The Collect segment made it possible," says company CEO S Swaminathan, pointing to the whopping 70% increase in revenues of this division. In the absence of fresh mandates, Create segment registered but a modest revenue growth of 21%. "We have spent the last few months strengthening our sales and marketing team who are now gearing up for a customer acquisition spree for IRIS Carbon by looking beyond mandate driven opportunities," explained Deepta Rangarajan, company founder. "With Rs 16 cr of cash in the bank, we are confident of being able to kickstart the efforts from internal resources alone," says company CFO & founder, K Balachandran.
Share of India revenues fell to 28%, with 72% of IRIS revenues coming from global markets. Africa emerged as the biggest driver of growth, accounting for 30% of revenues, largely driven by the South African Reserve Bank mandate won by IRIS a couple of years ago.

"We expect future growth for IRIS Carbon to come from Europe and North America for which we are gearing up," Deepta added, pointing to the recent sales and marketing hires.
