Lakshmi and Valluri, the other two co-founders, are associated with the company on an ideation level.

"Comprehensive compliance should not be a luxury affordable to only big corporates. Technology can and should make compliance accessible to every small and medium corporate entity. I believe CimplyFive has the potential to do just that," said Pai.

"Enabling good governance is a prerequisite for shareholder value creation. The passion and commitment that I see in Shankar makes me believe that CimplyFive will make rapid progress towards its goal," added Senapaty.

Jaganathan said the Companies Act 2013 is a legislation in its early days. Given its fluidity, the firm's cloud-based software that is centrally updated is ideal to meet the needs of over 1 million companies that are active in India.

The firm recently launched its first tool called BLISS (Board Leaders Integrated Software Solution) which is a digital productivity tool for company secretaries that automates routines and provides timely alerts to ensure compliance and good corporate governance.
