PTI | December 20, 2010



Online and mobile photography solutions firm Canvera today said it is working on applications that will allow users to upload their photographs on social networking sites Facebook and Twitter.

The Bangalore-based firm also makes customised coffee table books.

"We are actively looking at the idea of integrating our solutions with Facebook and Twitter. Currently, we are working closely with some professional photographers in this regard and a clearer picture on such applications is expected by early next year," Canvera CEO Dhiraj Kacker told PTI.

Among the coffee table books from the Canvera stable include Wide Angle -- a compilation of different photographs of star cricketer Anil Kumble -- which was released earlier this year.

According to Kacker, the firm has been seeing healthy growth since its inception in 2008 and expects to rake in revenues of about Rs 18 crore this fiscal year.

The e-commerce solutions for professional photographers, introduced this year, is expected to help in garnering more revenues in the coming months, he added.

Starting off with a couple of employees, Canvera currently has about 500 people across eight offices in India.

"In recent months, we hired around 120 people... Out of the total head count, nearly 170 employees are in the sales segment," Kacker said.

The company is well-capitalised and there are no immediate funding raising plans, he noted.
