Executive Opinion
While speaking to Hindu Business Line, co-founder and CEO, Mihir Shukla, Automation Anywhere, "We are the fastest growing company in our category and have experienced a 200 per cent growth rate YoY in IMEA (India, Middle East, Africa).

Over the next, we anticipate deploying over one million bots across India and Middle East to help companies discover, deploy and scale RPA to drive extraordinary human potential."
