Corpus, Inc has become a symbol of success within the southwest business community. From first year revenues of under a million to projected revenues in 2005 exceeding $100M, there are few, if any companies anywhere that can claim such rapid growth. From a five man startup to a current employee base of more than 750, with domestic operations in Dallas, Atlanta, Tampa, Boston, Columbus and offshore operations in Bangalore and Hyderabad, India, Corpus has evolved into a major player in the IT business community.
The past year, 2004 has proven to be a very good year for both Corpus and for Sachin. Today, in his new International headquarters facility north of the DFW airport, Sachin can reflect back on a year that has seen Corpus make the transition from small entrepreneurial company to that of being a major force in the IT market, securing his business a position in history as one of the true successes in the DFW area
