History

[edit]

Kissflow was founded as OrangeScape Technologies Private Limited[6] in 2003 in Chennai[7], India, by Suresh Sambandam.[8][9] According to Forbes, it got $1m in revenue in 2009.[10]

In 2012, the company introduced the Kissflow platform at Google I/O and rebranded its U.S. operations as Kissflow, Inc. after discontinuing its other products and focusing exclusively on Kissflow.[11][12][13] The Indian entity retained its original name, OrangeScape Technologies Pvt. Ltd.[14] Kissflow 2.0 was launched in 2015, introducing a more user-friendly interface compared to the original version.[15][16]
